Looking for Asian Fashion Movies?

Hello people of the Earth! It's my very first time to blog so I do not know what first sentence am I going to write.

But first of all, Are you a Fashionista? A Fashion Victim? Or are just like me who just love fashion? What fashion easily draws your attention? Is it the gorgeous models? Cosmetics? Clothing? Designs? Magazines? Brands? Sketches? Illustrations? Styles? Trends? TV Shows? Because for me, Fashion does not only define clothing. There are more!

Are you fed up with the same dramas, comedies, films with unchanging stories, unending crying scenes and cliché stories? And you wanna add up a spice to your dull life. Well,Are you are looking for Fashion inspiration for your next project?  Or maybe, you are just interested to watch a Fashion film that may trigger your brain to do something related to fashion.

I would love to recommend two interesting Japanese films, which I enjoyed watching because of its uniqueness and its class and glamour. Everyone have their own preferences when it comes to anything, we all have different principles in life, interest and taste so I do not know if you will love these movies. 

1. Paradise Kiss ( 2011 Film)

Paradise Kiss first appeared as a manga series by Ai Yazawa that has 12 episodes then later released as a Live Action in 2011. The movie itself is not something like it's name which is about love and kisses in paradise. It's about designing and modelling and of course friendship and love, which you will definitely love. George and Caroline were cute together, and so with Arashi and Miwako. The one who played Isabella was not really gay but he nails it. Every character they portrayed are very well played. SO you'll be fascinated!

I'm not writing reviews here, because I'm not good at it. Instead, take a glimpse of the photos that it may excite you!

Finally,it's Caroline walking on the runway, wearing George's blue gown.

I hope these pictures gave you a hint on what to expect in this Movie.

2. Runway Beat (2011)

This movie was based on a Japanese cellphone novel, Runway Beat by Maha Harada. It was also released in the same year as Paradise Kiss and they have the same theme which has something to do with fashion. It's setting was also in school but their difference is that they are not studying in an Institute of Fashion. They were mere students who organized a Fashion Show for the benefit of the School. One interesting thing in this film were the designs of a student named Bito/Beat who was a transfer student and son of a renowned fashion designer.

The designers were guys and the weirdest thing is that they wore skirts.

What I loved most are the weird and unique designs. I think it was inspired by culture mixed with modern. Another great event is the runway show where the students showcased the designs, and not professional models.

It was fun to watch because the designs are distinct and the clothes were really amazing.

On the runway was Wanda, a geek and a laughing stock that was transformed by Beat into a cool guy. Look at him! Isn't he cool.

2. First Time (2012)

This is Chinese Romantic-Tragedy Movie based on a Korean Movie entitle (...ing). This is about romance but if you are a Boho-Vintage kind of stuff lover then I recommend this to you. You can get ideas and inspiration on how to layer your clothes. I cried watching this but I love the girls outfit so it was worth the tears.
