On the second day, one of the things that we decided to do was to visit HERA Seoul Fashion Week that was in full swing at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP). Fashion week is always exciting and interesting. DDP was packed with people and you can felt the energy and excitement in the air. Fashion photographers—professionals and amateurs alike—were trying to get the perfect snaps of people who were roaming the area with their sniper like long lenses, trying to catch the perfect shot of the day. Models, actresses, actors, singers, public figures and just regular people in general all blending in together in this area, strutting in front of the photographers as if it’s their private runway showing off their look (or looks I should say) of the day. There were a lot of people who dressed up in all kinds of styles and the overwhelming visual stimulus was almost too much for me to take in all at once.

We ended up picking up a spot in a less busy part of DDP and did people watching for a while. First of all, there were a lot of good looking people that were present. I mean, like really ridiculously good looking people. Tall men and women with symmetrical faces, prominent noses and jawlines, and flawless skin (or maybe it was just perfect make-up? I don’t know. Couldn’t really tell). It was also fascinating to be able to see what these people chose to wear as their personal style and there were definitely some cool looks that we liked, and some which just made the eyebrows on our faces hiked up and our eyes widen in confusion.

My favorite shots were probably these little girls, who were dressed better than I did by the way, approaching this man with a cat mask on his face. They were really really curious about the cat mask and I thought it was so funny because at first, the catman only attracted one girl and in the end her two friends joined in on her curiosity. It was the cutest thing ever. In the end, the catman never took off his mask and the girls went away with their curiosity still apparent in their eyes when their moms called them to get going. And not long after that show was over, so did we.
