Thinking of Celebrity Street, we had images of pavements with
celebrities’ handprints and signatures. Little did we know, we found ourselves bedazzled
in front of a classy European-style sidewalk with premium brand shops lining
both sides. Bustling with elegant cafes
and designer stores, Garosu Gil, also
known as Celebrity Street, is a night scene most would never miss. I was amazed
at the small spotlights that littered the street, lighting up the sharp outfits
that most of the shoppers were clad in.

The elegant cafes along the street were almost packed to the brim,
and it was clear that this street has a happening night scene, filled with
immaculately dressed customers. One café that struck us in particular was a
café called ‘8 Seconds’. Though located
in a side lane, quite a few people managed to find the place and enjoyed their
food in the softly lit restaurant. One interesting fact about this café was
that there was a boutique right next to the café called ‘8 Seconds’ as well! We
were amazed at the latest apparel there and definitely agreed with their
slogan, “Cheaper than Zara, trendier than
Uniqlo.”

Fitting the ambience of Celebrity Street (or
as we KIM2CHI like to call it - “Korean Beverly Hills”) the shoppers were
clearly in touch with the latest trends in the fashion industry. We spotted
many up and coming trends that may hit the market like a Hallyu wave. We won’t be surprised if it does as this street is
visited by the who’s who in the Korean entertainment scene. We wonder whether
Psy, who recently won the “MTV VMA 2012 best-dressed award”, himself got his
accessories and style from this area – after all, this is the Gangnam area.
Although we didn’t see any celebs this time around, we sure did have
a whale of a time looking at all the gorgeous clothes. If I ever come back to
Korea, Garosu Gil is definitely a
place I’ll stop by again!
