The sweet cherub Korean was immensely likeable as her wide-eye innocence and muted optimism proved disarming. Throw in parents who own a press cleaner shop (Mom helps out with the sewing, Dad's the do-anything man) and a boyfriend who runs her errands (she didn't have any paid staff), I almost wished Vogue/ CDFA had an award for Best Family Spirit. By the end of the movie, I was convinced that Vogue/CDFA had picked the right winners- dynamic duo Jack and Lazaro from Proenza Schouler but I couldn't help but feel gutted when the camera showed Doo-ri's "I must not cry, i will stay strong for my fans" look.
From Doo-Ri's Resort 2008
I'm happy to say that though she didn't win, Doo-ri's still around and her Resort 2008 collection is absolutely covetable.
FYI: "Seamless" is a documentary which captures the lives of 3 (out of 10) establishing designers who are determined to win the Vogue/ CDFA fund and stake their. It feels like a 1.5 hour-long Project Runway episode, sans perky (in every sense of the word) Heidi Klum and Tim 'Carry On' Gunn. There was hardly any need for a casting director as almost everyone who's a whos-who in the New York fashion publication scene played themselves. If you heart fashion, adore watching bona fide fashion honchos and heart-rending stories of struggling designers; you will love 'Seamless'. Word of caution: Poor cinematography (only the Blair Witch Project had worse camera skills) may induce temporary bouts of headache and slight nausea.
I needed my carbs.
Zhu said I match the furniture.
Over nachos with melted cheese and smoked salmon salad, Zhu and I had a great time at Pitch Black. Thanks Betsy and Pitch Black for playing host! We can't wait for July's event!
