160826 Key’s ‘The Moment’ - Stage costumes
During Key’s ‘The Moment’ talk, there was a part where he explained the design of the outfits (of this year’s Arena tour & Tokyo Dome) that he participated in creating with a presentation file. The pictures of the outfits that I included on this post are the same outfits that he showed in his presentation (but not the exact picture).
The following translations are a mixture of the talk that were done at 5pm and at 8pm. Enjoy!

Key: At that time, I was really into the movie ‘Chicago’ so I thought it would be really fun if SHINee could put on classic suits of the 1920′s & 1930’s but in a not-too-boring way. We would keep the patterns classic but the materials would look powerful even on its own and would also form a sense of unity when 5 members were standing together. I wanted us to put on hats and have walking sticks too and fortunately our director Izumi selected ‘Password’ as our opening stage – a rare case when the opening song of our concert is a song without dance. So we were able to put on hats and use walking sticks during the opening because it was a powerful song where we could stand out even only with the lights and a few other stage equipment. There is a member that I consider as the main member for each section or each concept. Onew hyung was the main for this one. It’s because I think his clothes was the prettiest (laughs). When we were selecting outfits, I wanted that outfit the most but I’m in a position where I have to step back and look objectively on who would suit the best. Thinking that, I thought Onew hyung would look the best with things that were classic. It’s difficult to pull off that vest without looking countrified but since hyung has been working out lately, it looked pretty. The tie was originally red but I switched to a soft black ribbon. He preferred that too.

Key: It’s a military look. I could describe it as a military look.. but I didn’t want to use military materials directly. It’s because I thought then it would seem too obvious. As you can see, the main member for this concept was definitely Taemin. He’s wearing what is considered as the completion type of that outfit and the other four members kept the balance by wearing it in a different style. For example, Jonghyun hyung and I wore different colours & Onew hyung wore a relatively simple shirt with that armband. Later on, we changed Onew hyung’s jacket to one that was similar to Taemin’s. For Tokyo Dome, the second section (during the Arena tour) was changed as the first section. So the opening stage was a dance song. My purpose was that I wanted to make a completely new outfit for all the stages but there were several problems. I totally understand that. Our company is such a big company. It’s difficult to spend money because of several problems like the management team. The process of getting an approval is very systematic. I asked for a change of outfit but it was impossible in terms of time. So I asked for a change in the opening section and the approval for that was very slow too. So then I said, since Taemin and Onew hyung’s look is completed, I would only ask for a change for the other three members’ outfits. The approval was slow that time too. So I called the manager hyung who was on his way to give a report to the boss for something else and told him that I wanted to change only two of the outfits (laughs). So as a result, the outfits that were changed were Jonghyun hyung’s and mine. Minho’s look was completed to some extent in the first place. I thought in order to maintain the balance, we needed to change the two outfits. I actually wanted us to all wear that striped outfit that I’m wearing in the opening and have that gold ornamentation like Taemin’s. But that was sort of not possible.. So I decided at least I’d wear the stripe (laughs). Jonghyun hyung was originally wearing that beige coloured shirt so I gave him a colourful burgundy jacket. So that’s the completed look. I feel thankful even with that.

Key: This was the ballad section. I wanted us to wear shirts but I wanted this ballad section to have a sense of unity, not like the styling we did before where we wore differently. I thought of what we could do and I was really into embroidery at that time. So I thought we could just put on some embroidery on the shirts but have the tattooist or illustrator draw the designs. So I roughly drew a quick drawing and gave it to the stylist and the stylist handed over to the illustrator. That is how that outfit was completed. I am really satisfied with this one. Isn’t it pretty?
Tumblr media
Key: This was done with the designer Go Taeyong. I think it’s a boring paradigm to wear cute outfits during a cute section so I wanted to break away from it. I thought of Taeyong hyung’s school uniform collection and thought we could wear a school uniform look because we are not a team who wears school uniforms or team outfits often. But since wearing a real school uniform wasn’t creative, I thought of wearing a juvenile-delinquent-styled school uniform. But it wasn’t in a way that was too delinquent, it was just to the extent that the look of delinquency looked cute. I wanted to create a wearable look by mixing school uniform and training clothes. So it came out pretty like that. The main concept member for this section is me. It’s because it was a project that I started and we used that Comme Des & Garcons pattern. The reason behind using that was really simple. We had registered the trademarks for it (during when they made Comme Des & Garcons shirt last year) and didn’t want to waste it. I didn’t have any other intentions on using it other than that. I think this look came out with a relatively good degree of completion.
Tumblr media
Key: This was really simple. I receive inspirations from a lot of thing…and I found a pair of trousers that I wore back when I sang Tik Tok in England while cleaning up my wardrobe. I thought of this idea from it. This section involved a lot of dances so it’s normal to just wear uniforms but I wanted to add in elements of rock since this was the last part. I learn many things from doing this and one of them was… I didn’t know I liked the colour red this much. Think about it (laughs). It was red just before too and now it’s red again. It just happened to be all red. If I were to wrap up this beautifully, I could say that the concept is red in order for an intense impression but I’m an honest person. This was an error (laughs). Please excuse me as I’ll have it more colourful next time.

Key: I was really into Sukajan jackets that time so I wanted to make a new set of Sukajan jackets for us. There were a lot of celebrities who already wore Sukajan jackets so I thought there was no point for us in doing that so I wanted to make something new. The image that I wanted to create was something wearable but also something that looked like a team outfit. Something like a university jumper. Minho really likes his university jumper. Maybe he feels proud. I don’t understand how he can wear that as a daily outfit. He really seems to like it (laughs).
Tumblr media
Key: And this outfit was introduced when Kimi no seide was added as part of the encore section. I decided to do a wearable double-denim look… The member that I think would suit double-denim the best is Minho.. He’s long… I don’t know why but I think the material of denim suits Minho the best. I paid a lot of attention to Minho’s outfit but looking at it now, we all look similar. The patchworks on here are done by a tattooist. We made embroideries from the drawings that were done by a tattooist. The writings were done by me.

Fabulous party. You know, I haven’t seen this much love in a room since Narcissus discovered himself.
