Featured Video

While the popularity of Korean beauty products has reached an all-time high amongst bloggers and tastemakers alike, Seoul’s status as one of Asia’s major fashion capitals has rarely been discussed. South Korea’s capital is quickly rising as a hub for all things beauty and fashion and––with its rise in status––has seen a growth in the number of boutique stores, luxury accommodations and fine dining restaurants in the city.

In light of Seoul’s growing fashion scene, Fashion One has decided to tour the city to bring you the capital’s most stylish destinations––both popular and undiscovered. See some of the highlights from our tour below!
