Fall in Paris is glorious weather and fashion season, which is why it’s dispiriting to see the two used in such lackluster ways in the latest Cosmopolitan Korea pictorial featuring Lee Min Jung. She went all the way to the City of Lights only to be filmed in front of nondescript buildings and streets, decked out in serviceable albeit unmemorable … Continue reading →
