In addition to ladies’ shirt full of romantic temperament and Eskimo style jacket,Why Seoul Becomes a World Design Capital  Articles the fashion trends in Seoul have no many differences from Tokyo and Shanghai. Although young people here on the streets look very modern and stylish, this kind of fashion comes from their hats and unique hairstyles. Seoul has become a very fascinating and unexpected city, following Tokyo and Shanghai; I had expected to see a developing city. But unexpectedly, Seoul is so charming in reality. This is a magic city of 10 million people, most of whom are young people. In the city, you can see the Castle Peak, beautiful parks and museums, including the Korea National Museum and Leemu Samsung Museum of Art. They are collecting ancient works and art and display contemporary art museum. All the architectures in the city are also very classic. Seoul has a long history, rich cultural connotation. There are four places being named world heritage by UNESCO, including the group of Royal Tombs and famous dynasty of Korea. While it is also one of the ten active financial and trading center in the world. Seoul has made significant progress in the area of digital. It is the first city to use DMB, telephone and Wibro technology. Its subway is also the world’s largest; carrying capacity is about 200 million passengers a year. In 2010, Seoul was named as world design capital. Maybe everyone is surprised. Yes, because we have heard a great deal about China and Japan news, but we have little understanding of Korea. The street here is very wide; both sides are all pretty big flagship stores. And there are all young people on the streets; they focus a lot on dress, giving people a sense of urbanity. Various kinds of common beads such as large hole beads, Pandora style beads can become fashionable jewelry. Korea focuses on all brands’ position in the world. You can always see many people are waiting in front of a brand shop, whether inside or outside the shop, there are huge crowd but never in chaos. In addition, young people only buy Korea brand clothes, which is really cool. No matter digital products or fashionable clothes, people there are absolutely in support of their own brands. Korea people can protect their own historic buildings; they open restaurants or hotels in the ancient building. When you wander in the hidden park, passing through time and space, abstracting freedom to imagine, it is really very glamorous and luxurious. In China, in order to gain more space, people demolish the old building. Therefore, most of the monuments are not preserved. This is the charm of Seoul; this is a combination of classical and modern. It can never replace the ancient past in the future; all the past is full of vicissitudes, but giving the rich cultural connotations. But modern is also a very important feature. Without any pride and prejudice to see everything is also a ability and morality.
