Fashion in North Korea exists: what the pages of a glossy magazine look like in DPRK

North Korea, with its odious leader, bizarre behavior on the international scene and gloomy inner reality, cannot but excite the minds of the world community. She continues to make sensational headlines for the media with each new insider about the vicissitudes of North Korean being.

We all know that the citizens of the DPRK have a hard life. But, as it turned out, even in such dullness and recklessness there is a place for glamor, even if it is slightly specific. An American student named Alex Sigley decided to talk about a North Korean edgy magazine.

In his free time at Pyongyang University, Sigli traveled around the country and explored the everyday life of local residents. Once he was lucky to get acquainted with a very rare instance - a North Korean fashion magazine, according to which real fashionistas follow the main trends of the style. The luck was that to get such a publication is an extremely difficult mission, and the fact that it caught the eye of a foreigner is generally fantastic. Do not forget that the action takes place in a country where there are a certain number of strictly regulated haircuts that are allowed for both men and women, and everything that goes beyond the scope of this “assortment” may become a matter of jurisdiction for some unfortunate experimenter.

Given all of the above, it is very interesting to look at the North Korean “gloss” created, by the way, by the Center for the Study of Clothing with the assistance of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

So, in the opinion of the respected editors of the publication, real "Marxist" fashionistas should look like. Valid looks, styles and outfit options for all four seasons are presented here. It also gives recommendations on caring for clothes and many other tips on how to look dignified and please fair-faced Kim Jong-un.
