Ep08. I am a fashion director Key who transformed into a director

What did Key who is full of passion prepare this time? We reveal the directing process of concert stage outfits.

Hello! It’s Key~ I’m sorry. It’s been too long ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ As you know, I was very busy from the shooting of <Drinking Solo>, concert preparation and album preparation. Anyways, I’m back! Today I’m going to talk something a little different from what I’ve talked so far. Many people already know that I have interest in fashion but I don’t think you would know that I actually do the directing of stage outfits (It’s concert outfits, not outfits for broadcast shows)! Today I’m going to show a portion of the preparation process of the outfits of the concert that took place not long ago.

First, I have several meetings with the director (we call him that but Sim Jaewon-nim) about the order of the songs, settings for the lights, outfits and the general concept and mood of the concert! I basically lived at the SUM cafe for a while.

Then I plan various concepts in my head. Then I find designers who will suit it. I’m going to show the collaboration process with the two designers a little today.

First of all, it’s a brand called Charms! I thought it would suit well with SHINee because it’s a brand that’s pop and witty.

There are songs like ‘Black Hole’, ‘Odd Eye’, etc. that are cool and cute so we talked about ways to keep the middle way between the two extremes rather than clothes that are too witty.

We receive illustrations like this and discuss about the materials and decide which member would wear what (This is decided on first come first serve basis by sending this style to 5 members at the same time and whoever replies the quickest!). We change parts that needs change

Tada, we wore it on stage like this!

Next is Kye Hanhee designer from a brand called KYE~

This is a concept that was actually shown at designer Kye Hanhee’s collection and I thought it would look cute if we could express that monster (?) or zombie into 5 members. So we made it by collecting the member’s opinion.

[Kakaotalk chat with Minho

Minho: I want a zombie who’s wearing a tuxedo but shoes needs to be football shoes. And I want it to be stepping on a heart, not on a football. I want it to be tied up ㅎ The background is a football ground and the people behind it are all zombies too ㅋㅋㅋ Minho: Being tied up like this Minho: It would be good if it also held a walking stick too ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Key: Oh it’s good Key: It’s detailed Key: But the background of bunch of zombies would turn out more simple because it’s all done by hand]

[Kakaotalk chat with Onew

Onew: A long haired goblin in prison uniform eating tofu Whatever, it’s good no matter how it turns out It’s good if it’s on a tree or tied up

Key: A prison]

These opinions from Minho and Onew in order. I made a screenshot because it was rather a detailed description

Then it was drawn by hand based on member’s opinion and we made the clothes after a digital process!

We also communicate the styling process like this too. The real styling turned out a little different but communication is done like this through displaying it in a diagram.

Tada! We did the styling this.

Then, based on my opinion (^^) of making use of the pictures by 'Bridge Ship House’ illustrator, we picked out the members from a picture like this and expressed it in outfits~

Kyu, you didnt do it for us, but SHINee World wants to thank you so much. You have brought so much comfort to so many. Knowing that our Jjong is still loved so much, and that those who love him refuse to let him be forgotten, is wonderful.

Thank you for what you did for him, and I hope you know how loved you are and how proud everyone is of you. I know Jonghyun is smiling down on you, and if he were here he would say that it's ok that you didn't win as long as the song and performance touched people's heart. And it very much did. It touched so many hearts.

A/N: This is based off of “The Book of Love" by Gavin James (link is in the title pls listen to it it’s very soft). I was going for a bit of a different writing style than my usual, to match the feeling of the song. It’s super short, I know, but I wanted to make up a bit for my lapse in posting By My Side (writer’s block is a bitch and I’m sorry). I hope you enjoy it!
