K-Pop Through The Eyes Of Industry Leaders: An Interview With KoreanFashionista

Welcome to "K-Pop Through the Eyes of Industry Leaders." It's an ongoing KPopStarz series where we talk to leaders in several Korean industries, including education, fashion, entertainment, technology, tourism, e-commerce, and more.

It's no secret that the Korean Wave, or Hallyu, is giving Korea more of a spot on the world stage. With that wave continuing to spread, KPopStarz wants to talk to the people leading that charge about how they see Korean pop culture having an influence on their work both inside and beyond Korea's borders.

This week we chatted with KoreanFashionista, a Korea-based e-commerce fashion company that sells Korean-inspired apparel worldwide. Read on to learn about a few new trends, which group they'd love to help style, and which K-pop star's hairstyle is the most coveted among fans.
