I warned you about this a long time ago when I was doing the remote reporting of Seoul Fashion week SS 09. I 'unfairly' favoured a designer, Moon-Hee Lee. I don't suppose you'd remember that and if you do that would freak me out. My promise was simple - just showing you what I've been hiding and drooling over secretly in the dark corner of my study.
Bitter & Sweet's F/W 2008 collection has everything to make me happy. a)colours -all black + red accents b) lines - slouch, figure hugging and drapery c)drama - it's heart achingly beautiful and it shows more drama than you poke a stick at. I feel very bitter & sweet. It is obviously based in Seoul and I'm down here in Perth. We are also heading into summer. I had to have the air conditioner on in my car for the first time since winter. It's heating up nicely and I'm dreaming of a black hair piece and a coat from bitter & sweet bitterly. {click the image to see it bigger!}
If you like the look of these check out the website. The runway show video(under the catwalk menu) is more than I hoped for. I suggest you try that only if you have a super fast internet connection.

ooh how rich these are!
Wow! Spectacular collection, I can see why you favoured it indeed! All black can be boring, but not this time, love the different forms, shapes, and layers! :)
And thanks for your comment, I'm glad I could challenge you, cause I actually kind of use my blog to challenge myself half the time! ;)

I like this, it's very gothic and romantic.
Kinda grown-up gothic lolita.
Love the lack of colors. Beautiful on so many levels.
I keep forgetting that it's summer time in Australia.
love it, could totally see one of those dresses on you!
amazing!
my fave. is number one!
this is great.
i'm sure to use this as future inspiration
Really beautiful: dark, elegant, minimal, feminine and yet not at all over done.
Wow...thanks for the heads up. On my way to the website now. The darkly decadent clothes perfectly suit my current mood!
bottom left, bottom left...wowee
*FAINTS* i love it all...
Amo el negro
I love every piece! Oooh, drape!!! I've seen some of Moon-Hee Lee's pieces in Vogue, and love her (?) work!
Such a great blend of feminine/romantic and tough. I'm partial to the bottom right look - loves me a bolero!
I'm drooling over it as well....totally in love with these dark ensembles. ooooh, love!
Love!!! very gothic.
Besos!
Oh this is good. This is very, very good.
Usually I dislike monochrome, but something about the shapes here works for me.
it would be so interesting to see these pieces individually on a hanger.
i like the styling of the runway overall. beautiful
oh my god. beautiful. black. and asian people =)
There are some great looks here. I love the jacket in the second photo, and all the draping fabric in all the photos.
I love the collection!
Black, very inspiring:)

Black=SEXY :) hehe, I can't believe you have AC on...it seems to strange that someone is having summer while we are freezing here in TO...:)
Songy, do you like Yohji Yamamoto, she used so much black in her 2009 Spring collection?
Oh my! I love the bolero!
love all the textures in BLACK!!!
they are all stunning!
Despite the lack of colour (I had to say that LOL) I really like this collection.
Very goth... reminds me my goth period (lol yes, I had a goth period... I know doesn't seem ;))
Take care, beauty.
(have any kind of flash in your blog? because I can't see it at my office. It gives me a message saying that IE found a problem and it's going to shut.
We have a lot of firewals and we can't see Youtube stuff or things that require flashplayer.
Just curious, dear, because I check you at home)

this collection is amazing, i love the shapes and all black looks surprisingly very attractive, love it
i love all this romantic blackness and the models and everything. It's a pity that wearing all black doesn't looks goon on me... i am way too yellow for this :)
