Korean-American model and TV personality Irene Kim is bursting with energy. Her presence is simply magnetic. I’ve watched lots of bloggers prance around in front of street-style photographers, but I have never seen anyone as captivating in person as Irene outside the shows. She’s a master at drawing in the photographers, playfully twirling and strutting in a way that’s surprisingly genuine. Fashion is an industry that, for all of its superficial stereotypes, celebrates the people who take authentic pleasure in the whimsy of dressing up every day.

 

Cheers to you, Irene, for being an absolute blast to photograph!
