An IVE Discovery in Ala Moana

Newly renovated Miu Miu

Fashion Design Store MIU MIU in Ala Moana Shopping Center had recently remodeled their entire store, going from their classic  turquoise/marble and metal look to a more posh white and gold image... Can’t say I was overly thrilled by the new look as I really liked the old design (See below):

Old Storefront

Can't really blame them as the upgrade fits in more with the center's overall POSH aesthetic. Nonetheless, there was something that DID capture my attention while I looked over the new design, a svelte and chic looking suede outfit in the store’s front window:

At a glance it was INSTANTLY familiar to me…and why wouldn’t it? It was an outfit that I’d been DROOLING over the past few weeks at K-pop act IVE's youtube shorts channel, where stunning visual of the group Wonyoung was seen PROMOTING and MODELING that VERY SAME outfit at a recent Paris event!

MAN ALIVE, Miu Miu really knew what they were doing when they contracted Wony to be a fashion ambassador for this push- She is SO instantly captivating in everything she wears, and she looks like she’s been practically POURED into that ensemble, making it completely UNFORGETTABLE!!!

See the sultry and stunning Wonyoung signing for her fans at the Miu Miu event:

Is there anyone who exudes such an alluring aura? Man, even the way she signs her name seems so elegant!!! As you know, I've been a fan of Wonyoung since discovering her about a year ago during her IVE press promotions, and my infatuation has only grown!!  Such style and class, it’s no wonder she’s been hailed as the K-Pop “IT” girl for so many years!

2026 EDIT!!!!

In October in 2025, Wonyoung appeared once again at the Paris MiuMiu 2026 Spring/Summer  Launch  in yet another fabulous and gorgeous ensemble, as evidenced in this clip where the good natured Wony asked Security if she could possibly sign for her Paris fans- At first her bodyguard balks, but the coordinators acquiesce  and move the barriers so she can meet her fans!

Oooh, She looked so pretty here, I had to go over to the MiuMiu site and see the official  promotional clip with Wonyoung modeling the above outfit- SIMPLY STUNNING!!!

I told myself to memorize the ensemble in case it ever showed up in the showcase window of the Ala Moana MiuMiu store, and during a visit to the Center this weekend, WHAT SHOULD I SEE IN THE window, but the VERY outfit Wonyoung was promoting!!!!! I gasped, "It's the WONY DRESS!!!" and immediately began snapping away!

Funny how it's the exact same outfit but doesn't look HALF as mesmerizing as when Wonyoung is sashaying around Paris in it! Now that's REAL PR!!!
