Miuccia Prada's travelling exhibition Prada Transformer Waist Down arrives in Seoul. Waist Down is a unique exhibition devoted to the skirt. This exhibition runs from April 25 to May 24. If you are in Seoul, check out the details at the end of this entry and plan a visit!

Hallyu stars such as Song Hye Kyo, Yoon Eun Hye, Oh Ji Ho, Joo Ji Hoon etc were at the Prada Transformer (located at Seoul's Gyeonghui yard, next to the 16th-century Gyeonghui Palace) to celebrate the opening of the exhibition on April 23 at 5:30pm.

The venue of the exhibition is itself a work of art. The Transformer is a state-of-the-art shape shifting venue which will host multiple interdisciplinary projects, bringing a unique mix of visual arts to the exhibition. It was designed by Rem Koolhaas.


The inaugural Waist Down exhibition was staged from 2004 - 2005 in the Prada store in the Aoyama district of Tokyo, Japan. Next it was at Peach Hotel, Shanghai, then Prada in SoHo, New York and then to Prada on Rodeo Drive Beverly Hills.

The exhibition takes care to adopt a little of its local environment, changing each time to reflect the fashions of its surroundings. For this 5th installation in Seoul, the exhibition includes skirts and mannequins designed by fashion students from eight design programs in Seoul. Thus Waist Down integrates internationally acclaimed fashion design with creativity fostered in the host city.

The skirts were selected by Miuccia Prada in collaboration with AMO. The exhibition design was conceived by AMO to highlight and accentuate Prada’s diverse ideas and concepts.

Thank you K-popped Sisters for the gorgeous photo of Oh Ji-ho he certainly does look dashing.

My Cutie has a lot to smile about these days
“Queen of Housewives” is a big hit #2 in the ratings.

Liz, I am still looking forward to you doing a personal interview with “Mr. Dimples”.

After watching KING OF HOUSEWIVES (I coined this term because of the 3 super HOT guys!) the past few weeks in his role as Ohn Dal Soo, a simple, sincere, not well-adapted to wily ways of society and bullied most the time, it is refreshing to see Oh Ji Ho spotting the “GET KARL” hairstyle here.

He’s looking suave, sophisticated and dashingly handsome!

Thanks once again of the brilliant and stunning photo of Oh Ji Ho.
Love him on black. His 'Dimple' as usual make me squirm with excitement.

Me too, I could only 'wish' and 'hope' [finger crossed] that I could meet HIM one day. ( I know Jane is one lucky lady)

Take Care
