Korea's Boys Over Flower Fashion Styles

Boys Over Flower, Korea's version of Japanese manga Hana Yori Dango has captured the hearts of many Filipinos. I must say that I am one of the viewers who regularly watched their Filipino-dubbed episode everyday. Aside from enjoying the storyline, I also love the fashion styles of the characters in the said tv series. They are so fashion forward and from what I have heard last Saturday, the wardrobe budget spent for the show reached Php 5 Million. According to a local news, the suits and dresses of the characters are designer's clothes and custom-made for each of them to achieve their perfect preppy look.



Here's some of the still images from Boys Over Flowers:

It's an extraordinary story that transports me to the world of fantasy, thanks to my creative imagination. However for those who don't want to play with their mind, Tim Burton had a good news for you! He will bring the Wonderland into the silver screen. Before this movie hit the theaters near you, let's take a look at the fashion styles of the cast.

Mad Hatter played by Johnny Depp
To achieve the "Hatter" look in the novel's "A Mad Tea-Party" chapter, Johnny Depp sported an odd look with wild hair, oversized bow tie and large pins with 10/6 label on his giant hat.


White Queen Played by Anne Hathaway
To get the White Queen's look in "Through the Looking Glass", Anne Hathaway will wear a white long hair with fairer complexion.


Alice played by Mia Wasikowska
To achieve the perfect Alice's look, Burton said that Mia is the only character in the movie that will not be enhanced with heavy make up and digital manipulation.


Red Queen played by Helena Bonham Carter
Originally the Red Queen is illustrated as a legless chess piece. For the movie, Bonham Carter's head will be digitally enlarged to about three times of its actual size.
