Street style photographer Leong Su Shan brings Men’s Folio to Dongdaemun Plaza to lens the best-dressed models, editors, celebrities and attendees of Seoul FW23 shows.

The start of fashion week is always full of buzz, but the Seoul FW23 season seems to have ushered in a new kind of energy that feels more like a gentle hum. This season embodies diversity in ways that go beyond just “youthful”; the South Korean fashion scene has evolved to have its own pioneers and fresh faces that makes this season’s programme feel more centred and grounded in its own rhythm, aware of the community’s collective growth and a fashion future that will soon be completely free of the talons of the pandemic.

From Charm’s, LIE, to Beyond Closet, the first day presented collections of pioneering labels that paved the way for what South Korea’s fashion industry is today. The Charm’s show in particular marked the first time the brand has participated in Seoul Fashion Week since 2019 — read on for all the best-dressed from the first day of Seoul FW23, lensed by street style photographer Leong Su Shan.
