Cool Street Looks at Frieze Seoul 2025   

• Frieze Seoul 2025 was more than an art fair. While visitors admired contemporary works inside the halls, they themselves played the role of living art through their personal style. Teenagers and trend-watchers found inspiration not only on the gallery walls but also in the creative outfits worn by attendees. Layering acted as a brushstroke of style. A lace long-sleeve under a plain T-shirt, for example, can turn a simple outfit into a textured composition, echoing the way artists build depth on canvas. Accessories served as sculptural accents. Louis Vuitton’s colorful multi-gem bracelet, MCM and Bearbrick bag charms, and Cartier’s timeless designs showed how small details could shift the balance of a “visual artwork” ? just as a single line or shade can redefine a painting. Eyewear trends followed the same logic of reinvention. Rimless frames and sleek silhouettes replaced fading tinted lenses, offering clean lines that mirrored the minimalism seen in several gallery pieces. Gentle Monster, a Korean eyewear label, stood beside global luxury houses, underlining how local creativity belongs on the international stage ? in both art and fashion. A message resonated across both worlds: individuality matters most. Just as artists experiment with contrasts and bold choices, visitors expressed their personal vision with each outfit choice. Frieze Seoul 2025 reminded attendees that art doesn’t stop at the exhibition walls ? it continues on the street, with every confident outfit becoming a masterpiece of its own.
