"Comfort is critical!" Wise words from experienced traveler and OC womenswear buyer Carol Song! Check out what she packed for Seoul Fashion Week.
With all the buying trips I've done over the years, I've become quite the profesh packer—I can easily eyeball anything over 23 kilos! It's incredibly important that I pack a bit of everything so that I feel comfortable wherever I am, plus it's a total pain in the butt to go out and buy essentials when abroad, especially with a busy schedule like mine. As soon as I get to my hotel room, I immediately unpack and situate myself so it doesn't feel like I'm living out of my suitcase. For our most recent trip to Seoul I made sure I had all my favorite labels on hand, including Mother of Pearl, Nektar de Stagni, DKNY Exclusively for Opening Ceremony, Isa Arfen, Anndra Neen for OC, and Opening Ceremony. See you back in NYC!
