Underwater Fashion Show – Models Take the Plunge in Korean ‘Hanbok’ Dresses

Model overboard!

A new department store in Seoul, Korea celebrated its opening by hosting an underwater fashion show. Catwalks and dry land — who needs ‘em?  Mermaid-like models pulled out their best water aerobics moves during the show, which featured vibrantly colored traditional "hanbok" dresses created by fashion designer Park Sul-Nyeo. Yikes — hope those suckers were waterproof.

And while the frocks were stunning, we’re more impressed by the models’ ability to hold their breath underwater for so long. Then again, seeing how tight some of the latest runway fashions are, we suppose they’ve had a lot of practice. Meanwhile, get your own dose of mermaid-chic with a fishtail braid.
