Olympic gold medalist Kim Yuna is currently featured in ELLE atZINE, the fashion magazine’s website. The pictures show the figure skating champion at a fitting with fashion designer Lee Sang-bong, whom she’d sought out in preparation for her ice show last month, Festa On Ice.
Mostly I’m posting because I love that dress. I want that dress. Okay, maybe without the sparkly boobs, but it’s such a witty take on its inspiration, namely an old-fashioned scroll, which also happens to look pretty on its own merits.
Garments used in the show included a hangul print T-shirt (worn by other skaters as well as Yuna), a dress with an attached cape, and the others shown here.

I agree, that first dress is heavenly ^_^
I feel you, I too like that tier piece best of all these.
One Q for JB, since you careless for the sparkly boobs then your boobs must be more well endowed than Yuna’s. LOL! Right?
wow…..all the dresses are so pretty…….now, if only i have her figure!
this girl’s magical no matter what she wears (so she should donate those fab dresses to me!)
oh i LOVE the first dress!! love the ombre and the scroll idea.
and though i’m usually not a big fan of pink (especially bright magenta pink). i really adore the skirt on the lace-up sleeve dress. i don’t know if she’s twirling so it flares out or if it’s just like that, but in that shot, the skirt is adorable.
wow… she looks super good. makes me want to lose my extra pounds and pull something like that off. gorgeous dresses.
And as always, thank you for the news!
The dress looks so much better when she is skating (as well it should)

i also really want that dress!!!!
The scroll motive seems to be Lee Sang Bong’s trademark, I remember watching an old episode of Infinity Challenge with him and his show featured similar designs.
Nonetheless, me likes!
Now Kim Yuna can advance to do a Andre Kim runway show. She would look so lovely in one of his wedding gowns.
Interesting concept indeed!
Nice site — Kim Yuna is very special and the photos were great. She is an inspiration. I published a skating novel for kids called Maddie Takes the Ice and my author is an Ice Dancer who knows many of the top skaters. Figure skaters are really suburb athletes who perform under more pressure than most any other sport.
Is it Festa or Fiesta?
It’s Festa.
Hehe–gotta agree with chriskk.
What is up with the magenta frilled one, third down?
Looks like she’s overgrown with sea anemones or tube worms!
I really like lee sang bong….my bedding set is from him ~ totally gorgeous and he has a way of making korean characters look modern~
I absolutely love the first dress. I think all or most things are beautiful when the traditional and modern are combined into one.
It’s so pretty!!!
love the dress especially the second one… i cant imagine it but surely it would make make magic when she swing in the ice…..
festa o_O
love love love love the prints on the first dress and the colors in the second one
Oh…i love that dress as well. Lovely.
I usually find figure skating boring except when Yu-na, Yagudin and Plushenko are skating. It’s just amazing to watch these three in action.
omg love it! i think the “sparkly boobs” bit keeps it looking trendy&suitable for the young
the scroll bit looks absolutly stunning +delicate = me wants!
i don’t like any of the dresses 0___o
The first one is ok, the bottom part is beautiful but the top part ruins it!
