Yong Joon's scarf

Saw this posted on BYJ Gallery which I believe originally came from the blog of tomato99.

Since there is not much news on Yong Joon, every details that come out even from a fan is big news. I'm certain that this post from tomato99 has already been posted in several baesites and baeblogs. ^^

But it's not really new to baefans to search what Yong Joon is wearing. If I'm not mistaken in almost all his sighting be it private or public, fans will diligently search the brand of his attire [you may click here, here, here, here for some] his gadgets [his camera], accessories [click here, here, and here], eyewear [check them out here and, here], his cars , even the mineral water that his drinking and more.

From the latest photos that came out this week from Iwate, fans checked out Yong Joon's scarf and even his working clothes [he's wearing Nike gear].

Yong Joon's working on his project in Iwate.

This is the scarf that he's wearing by Alexander McQueen. Yong Joon seems to like the skull since 2008. You can check some of his accessories by Chrome Hearts that specializes in gothic motifs.

[Videos] Various News Report on Yong Joon in Japan

Earlier, i posted the screencaps [here and here] from news reporting Yong Joon at Sendai Airport and taking the Shinkansen.

Now here are various videos of that news posted by Makishi on BYJGallery.

Hee, those screencaps didn't do justice. Yong Joon is more enjoyable to look at in action. ^^







Btw, I noticed that he's using the Louis Morais 'Rockstar' necklace that he bought in 2006 when he was in Japan.


According to some baesisters who have checked the price of Rockstar, it's US$4485.

yong joon's bracelet

has anyone noticed that yong joon is wearing a bracelet? never saw him with one before. [hmm, i think i've seen him wearing a gold bracelet before but that was a long time ago. and i saw him too in in some pictorial wearing beaded black bracelets] so this is not the first time i actually saw him wearing but the first time in long while. noticed he's wearing a new one when there was a photo of him inside the ferris wheel.


you can actually see the same bracelet in the photos when he arrived in JFK yesterday.

more about the coat...

...which we all know by now was designed by John Galliano.

aren't we all curious to know the complete phrase written at the back of yong joon's coat? from below photo we could only decipher the word 'heaven'.

japanese baesister makishi posted on kob another Galliano's design with the same phrase written at the back.




honestly, i was kinda surprise when i learned what was written at the back. it seems so unlikely of yong joon donning a coat with that phrase. it's cool...yeah.... but...anyway, good thing that mariko posted on soompi a short story about the coat that she read at innolife.

apparently, the coat was a gift by no less than Choi Min Soo, Daejangro in TWSSG and a know hardcore Harley Davidson rider. honestly, when i was looking at the coat he's wearing the first name that popped into my mind was really CMS. the coat has the kind of attitude i know of CMS ^^ and i think i kinda saw him wearing something like that.

i wonder what he was thinking when he gave yong joon that coat. hee, he must have teased yong joon to loosen up a bit and show a bit his of his wild side. ^^

i'm sure CMS is happy to know that yong joon wore the coat he gave him. ^^

btw, suehan posted in KOB a bit of a news when yong joon went to DC. according to missyusa.com, yong joon also visited the house of Philip Lee and meet his family aside from attending mass with them. ^^

don't you think that he's such a nice person? even visiting the residence of his co-star [and a newbie]. others may think that 'wow, he's such a biggie doing that to a newbie' but hey don't forget, he's bae yong joon afterall.

p.s. mariko [thanks!] just posted this on soompi. this is apparently the photo of yong joon when he went to Virginia last Sunday, May 11, 2008.

it's John Galliano's trench

yong joon is wearing a 2008 Srping Collection of John Galliano

when photo of yong joon arriving in JFK last apr 20 came out mixed emotions about his attire surfaced on baeboards ^^. others are curious who's the designer, what's written at the back, who chose his attire.

as of this very moment, i've finally come to know what brand of traveling trench he's wearing. it's by John Galliano. hee, thanks to 모리스 of kob for letting us know.

after seeing some of his designs and fashion show by surfing, i find his designs wild and too extreme. check out his fashion show here , click here for this 2008 Spring collection, and here to read about his fashion show style.


now who is John Galliano?

John Galliano belongs to the train of incredible Paris talent that began with Paul Poiret and extended through Christian Dior and Jean Paul Gaultier. Mr. Galliano is part showman, part engineer of magical seams, part devil.

Since January 1997, he has been the design director of Dior, responsible for haute couture and ready-to-wear collections, as well as accessories and his own John Galliano line. His shows are distinguished for their material and creative excess, all in keeping with the splendor of the Dior name.

Yet as recently as the early ’90s, Mr. Galliano was nearly destitute. His taste for extravagance and for romantic narrative Russian aristocrats fleeing into exile with only their petticoats did not square with the more practical demands of financial backers. He ran through several before meeting, in 1995, Bernard Arnault, the chairman of LVMH, and the majority owner of Dior.

Because of his understanding of feminine beauty and his ability to evoke it in a rippling piece of silk, Mr. Galliano also had the support of several influential women, notably Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue; Amanda Harlech, a former magazine editor and stylist; and the late socialite Sao Schlumberger, who gave Mr. Galliano money for his first Paris show and lent him a house on the Left Bank for another presentation.

Juan Carlos Antonio Galliano-Guillen was born in Gibraltar on Nov. 28, 1960. In 1966, the family moved to South London, where his father worked as a plumber. John enrolled in Central Saint Martins, graduating in 1984. For the next five years, he struggled to find a footing and money. In 1990, he left London for Paris.

The shows that Mr. Galliano put on in the early ’90s were exhilarating, in part because his energy and talent were so exposed. In a collection set around the romantic adventures of a Princess Lucretia, he used electrical wire from the BHV department store in Paris to give volume to full skirts.

In 1995, Mr. Arnault chose Mr. Galliano for Givenchy. Within two years, Mr. Galliano was given the top design job at Dior. There, his methods, to say nothing of his wild appearance, were met with doubt. He wanted the clothes cut smaller and closer to the body. As he explained to Raffaele Ilardo, the chief of the atelier, “You need to slash it more.” In time Mr. Galliano changed people’s eyes.

In July 1999, he mounted the Matrix collection, a couture show that almost literally took apart Dior’s classic tailoring and reassembled it as a new, more chaotic form. He followed with a ready-to-wear collection that introduced the Dior saddle bag and logo denim.

He had an exceptional year in 2007, with a spring haute couture collection inspired by Madame Butterfly and a polished fall ready-to-wear show. In July, he staged a huge show at Versailles, for Dior’s 60th anniversary.

In an interview in July 2007, Sidney Toledano, the company’s chief executive, said of Mr. Galliano: “Some people think he’s very fragile, and he’s not.”

Mr. Toledano continued: “The guy has survived all his life.”

Duh?!

I really don't understand why some members of the family have to pick on Yong Joon's jeans. Honestly i don't find anything wrong with him wearing jeans with holes. It's the "IN" thing my God! And no matter if the jeans he is wearing is cheap or expensive for so long that he wears it decently.

Okay let me tell you something about the kind of jeans that Yong Joon wears. Do you know True Religion brand of jeans? Yong Joon wears those kind of jean (and for sure other brands too). Why do I know? A Korean friend who happens to be a soompi member and not a Yong Joon fan posted it in one of the thread. And she wrote "Even the most popular Korean actor, Bae Yong Joon wears them."

True Religion is not a cheap jeans. This jeans which we saw in many photos costs $172. And someone had written that it's $9.99?! Yeah she's probably right...in flea markets. ^^

True Religion Brand Jeans Men's
'Andy' Indigo - Medium Vintage

So what if he keeps on wearing the same pants over and over again if he feels comfortable in it? Does it make him stingy? Unfashionable? C'mon!

Here are more photos of the latest jeans from True Religion. If you happen to see Yong Joon wearing a new pair of jeans, it might be from one of these photos ^^
