About Some opened its doors one year ago and provides its clientele with easy-going styles. The boutique’s owner gave Gwangju News insight to local fashion trends.

 

What’s the best selling item in your shop?

My best selling items are T-shirts. Styles change so much these days, but T-shirts are versatile. You can wear a T-shirt in many different ways for a casual or more sophisticated look.

What brands do you sell?

I usually buy wholesale from Dongdaemun Market in Seoul and choose the clothes myself. There is no certain brand.

What is the most popular color these days?

These days many people like white because it is a popular color with celebrities. People usually follow the fashion trends that celebrities set. Also, I think that white is a color that suits most people.

I admire the actress Choi Ji-woo because she has a very basic style. She doesn’t wear clothes that are too fancy. Everybody can identify with her style.

What styles do your customers usually buy?

Now my female customers are interested in buying girlish looks, especially light lacy clothes. Spring is a time when girls want to be feminine, so a lot of my customers are looking for delicate looks.

What kind of accessories do you like?

I’m into unique styles, especially accessories with big geometric shapes because these styles stand out. I like buying styles for the store that I would wear.
