Fashion City

The place to go for all things
Korean !!! It always has the latest Korean fashion trends !!! U don’t need to go anyplace else !

I got three pairs of earrings, some studs and 3 hair pins and clips. Love them all the place has lots of cute earrings and you can find anything you are looking for. Some of the clothes aren’t so wellmade but they are cute and there was a 20% discount when I was there as well as earring buckets with 70% off. No one followed me or bothered me and I got a $ 3 coupon for next time. Super happy!

You’re bound to find a few «asian street style» clothing and cute things here if the price doesn’t scare you away. They have a «macy’s» lower pricing for some clothing, and then a 100 – 200 $ range of clothing. The more expensive clothing is not worth it, it’s artificially priced high. The cheaper range is like 21 for a skirt, 35+ for a dress shirt. 7 for 1 lingerie underwear. The clothing and accessories/​beauty parts are separated/​divided in the store. A lot of their t-​shirts have the «engrish» writing aka words on shirt don’t make sense grammatically. Only buy when there’s a sale because it’s marked up. They have the back2school sale with 30% at the moment, I don’t know when they have the 80% sale but I will be back if that ever happens.
They have skincare lotion tubs and 150ml bottles for 10 to 15 dollars but I didn’t buy since I’ve never recognized any of these labels, and I’ve been using asian skincare products when I was a teen. They do have the expensive/​famous sulwhasoo (?) skincare brands in the glass counters. They got hair clips, ties, jewelry, sheet masks, some beauty supplies, and more.
$ 20 credit card minimum. I don’t know why but the same old, rude lady another reviewer was talking about let me use my card for under $ 20 since I didn’t see the credit card min (my mistake). sign till the end (its a small sign on the clothing register), but let me use it anyways even when I offered to go shop for 1 more thing to make the min. Maybe because there was a police investigation going right in front of the check out counter as well she didn’t want to lose sales.
Would visit in the future, but as some reviews said, don’t expect A++ customer service. Also, all clothing here is asian sized, meaning it may not fit a curvy person or someone that isn’t a typical asian size, clothing runs small in other words.

The original prices are marked up so high that my tip to you is to only purchase items when on sale (80% off sales). Good thing that they have sales often. The young cashiers are nice and pleasant and often give free samples.
However, there’s an older, short Korean lady (don’t know if she’s the manager or owner of the store) who has a major attitude problem. She acts like she’s doing the customers a favor than the other way around by randomly grumbling in Korean under her breath, giving random stink eyes at customers for no reason that would rival the most immature, petulant 12 year old who’s doing badly in school, misunderstands when politely spoken to in English & assumes you’re insulting her when you’re not, and has all the mannerisms of a… this woman is something else. She might not enjoy her life but that doesn’t mean she has to take it out on innocent customers who are actually purchasing items at her store rather than just browsing. Perhaps she needs to go to business school but fundamental common sense would tell anyone that’s not the way to run a business.
Btw, she acts this way towards everybody. My mom went there to purchase items for my birthday and got major attitude & insults thrown at her for no reason except that my mom politely asked her in Korean a question from this same older, short Korean woman who is old enough to know that’s not the way to behave and treat people much less customers at her store.

I’ve always enjoyed the clothing style of boutiques for the uniqueness unable to attain at mass department stores. With a good friend, we both wondered this city of fashionable clothing which entice our interest. Two levels where the lower level are all thing bling for earrings, necklaces, hair clips, iPhone bling cases, rings and the upper level is clothing. Stock is well organized and is very fashionable for the young adult woman in keeping up with 2013 trend and style probably direct from Korea. There is space for curated browsing amid, I did not try on any material. Price appears reasonable unlike the standard mass department stores.
Owned and operated by Koreans who converse minimal English and are not friendly to other Asians as myself. When inquiring if they have a business card, the associate gave me a rude scowl look and blurted out «minimum $ 20.00 for card» followed by more coldness and dirty looks. The cashier’s unwarranted hostility is uninviting for a return visit. Certainly, Fashion City has style for clothing but a whole lot of crass for customer service.

They seemed to have the most smart phone case options around the Main St./Roosevelt Ave. area. Their accessories sections is dizzying and a little bit overwhelming, but with great patience, there are actually some really interesting earrings and hair accessories. Some unique and artsy things. A lot of the jewelry have some element of sparkle and runs on the the girly side. I got 2 pair of earrings for $ 17 (one pair had 3 interchangeable earrings– a cool, assymetrical look!).
A korean friend told me that these sort of shops market themselves as «boutiques,» but for any korean mom, they may consider the quality really bad. I’m guessing that’s why they’re able to price a long sleeve shirt at $ 140, with a «special» 30% off? And a coat for $ 500?! We thought that they were marked at the original Korean price. Nope. it’s USD.
There’s a few cute dresses and tops, but I wouldn’t pay that amount of money for the clothes.
It’s alsa a good store to cut through in the middle of winter. It’s an L-​shape with entrances on both Roosevelt & Union. Kekeke.

They have a great selection of cute iphone cases, jewelry, hair accessories, face masks, and other accessories for mostly under $ 10. There’s also a large adjacent section devoted to clothes, shoes, and bags. The clothes were a little more expensive (but also on sale when I went, so I guess it evens out…) but definitely a good place to check out if you’re looking for Asian styles.

I only browsed the accessories section. I love the hair things, cellphone things, jewelry. Omg, adorable Korean cuteness.
