Boho (and hobo) chic in Marie Claire
by | September 18, 2008 | 14 Comments

Okay, so Jung Ryeo-won kinda looks like she’s channeling the concept Bozo Goes Shopping here, and the color palette kinda makes this look like a ’70s catalog, and she still looks like she’s drastically underweight.

But aside from the weight issue (seriously — there’s slender, and then there’s scary), I think she looks kinda also a little fabulous.

Jung Ryeo-won shot this spread in Tokyo and sports so much makeup and hair that it’s a little difficult to make out her features (that black-and-white one makes her look like Kim Ah-joong, actually). The spread appears in the October issue of Marie Claire, and the photo director had this to say: “I tried to bring out the lovable and appealing sides of Jung, who’s known for being a fashion leader in the entertainment world, as much as I could.”

(Not that she isn’t lovable or appealing, but I don’t see either of those adjectives at play here. Fierce Fashion Hobo on the Loose, No Seriously She Will Cut You For Your Purse, maybe.)

    “she still looks like she’s drastically underweight. ”
    That’s the understatement of the year. She reminds me of Twiggy! Actually,Twiggy looks overweight compared to her. Which huh o_0

    This photo spread certainly doesn’t have that “lovable and appealing” vibe that the director try to achieve. It’s more fierce / hight fashion (very loosely) than a lovable image.

    The shoes dwarf her little teeny sticklegs. Sad.

    Naa,
    I disagree. She still looks drastically underweight. I can’t get past the legs.
    The bast part of the picture is the headshot.

    i mean this with all sincerity, she is way too thin. I don’t think it is healthy. Someone needs to sit her down and advise her to seek counselling. She is a decent actress and wonderful human being, i’m sure. Empower her to get some help people. Please!

    no issues with her clothing, but are those frizzy 70s afros a sign of what’s coming for Fall trends?

    heavens – NO! please.

    Kim Min Hee had similar in Love and Marriage. albeit a tamer version.

    no issues with her clothes and it does provide a funkier take on her normally more sedate style ….. but are those frizzy 70s afros a sign of what’s upcoming for Fall/09 hair trends?

    heavens – NO! please.

    I like JRW, the way she look in MNIKSS, very young, innocent and she`s not too skinny that time. I wonder why she has too lose so much weight, for what reason?! I don`t think it is good to see women having that kind of body…she looks ill in all her photos. I wish she can clearly see herself in the mirror.
