I was looking for some inspiration and found some in the traditional Korean dress called a Hanbok. A Hanbok is usually worn as a semi-formal or formal wear during traditional festivals and celebrations.

I rarely think about hanboks, so my only reference about them are from folk times and what I was introduced to when I was a kid growing up in the 80's.
Here are some pictures from a Korean Vogue. I love Vogue for their photoshoots, which always grab my attention because of the colors and details.

I never thought about taking the hanbok to the next fashion level. My memories were dated and I never thought about how hanboks could be translated by contemporary/modern designers.

Who would have thought of all the possibilities and color combinations?
Here are just a few more that I love!
This is the color palette I was use to seeing
These are so beautiful but the next group of photos are my ultimate because I love couple photo shootsAND because they feel vintage inspired.

He-he-hello! I'm Natasha.
If you put a blindfold on me and spin me around in a circle...I bet I could find something vintage. Here you will read about things that interest me...fashion, nail polish and Korean culture, just to name a few... Are you curious?
