I've now visited these images about a dozen times (the cats!) and thought I should share them with you. They're from Korean Vogue. Did you even know there was a Korean Vogue? I didn't. But I'm glad there is.
My son is a Korean Adoptee, so we try to include as much as his heritage in our lives as possible... I use that as the ideal reason to get Korean Vogue whenever I can! Love these images in particular. I don't know if you know this, but these women are dressed in hanboks, which are traditional Korean dresses. (The men have a version as well) They are usually worn on Seollal (Lunar New Year) as well as a couple of other holidays.
Beautiful pictures, and I love those hanboks! I got one as a gift for my wedding, and my daughter got one for her first birthday, but the common ones you see (like the ones we have) are much bolder colors--red and green and pink and yellow and turquoise... They are nice, but these muted ones are so much more pleasing to me. The form of the hanbok is so graceful, I think it looks best in quiet colors.

I had no idea - beautiful clothes. Striking images. Yes, the cats!
Incredible images, vogue is an apt description.

I love these photos, too! The color palette is so lovely.
These pictures are amazing! I lived in Korea for a year and a half, so I am a bit partial to their traditional costumes...
WOW!!!! I did not know, but if I ever dreamed of there being a Korean vogue....that's exactly what I would wish for it to be!
gorgeous pictures! i spent two years teaching english in korea and am so fond of their traiditonal han-bok gowns, this is just gorgeous!
gorgeous! I remember growing up ashamed of my culture because Korea was still "developing". I'm always impressed by Korean artistic talent lately.
FYI there's also a Korean Vogue, Marie Claire, Elle, etc. Beautiful images
