💚💜💚 About time I posted my final piece for the Starfire fashion zine @starfirecentral ! 💚💜💚

As the zine was made to look like a fashion magazine, my illustration pays homage to the neon colours and rollerblading culture of the 70's and 80's!

Undersea Alien collection by Shira S for @starfirecentral STARFIRE: A Fashion Zine

Shoutout to Per for coming up with the name actually XD

I’ve been avoiding making this post, because I have a lot to say about this collection, especially about my various inspirations as well as my design process. The former of which I’m going to try to condense underneath a cut, the latter I’m debating maybe making a second post where I show discarded design concepts/different looks I had to cut when finalizing my designs. I’m just a *teensy?* bit passionate about it all, as I put a LOT of time and thought into this collection.

WOW OKAY!!! I have WAY too much to say!!!

Initially, my idea spawned from a drawing I never finished of Kory in a mermaidcore look I designed for fun, when I was brainstorming ideas for this collection I decided to then take that further and use the ocean as my core concept. Kory’s from space which is like. unexplored and mysterious and like looks cool as shit. You can say the same about the ocean. I actually had a number of more conceptual ideas based off more specific sea creatures, alas, this IS a very small collection with limited looks, so I only did 4 underwater ones and only 2 of those being sea creatures (jellyfish)

What was also really amazing, is that around the time that I was designing these looks, Halle Bailey was doing press for the Little Mermaid movie, and when I tell you that every single red carpet I saw her step on my jaw fell open in “holy shit, that’s the vibe i want to get across” or this photoshoot she did. I’ve also used Chloe Bailey a number of times as a Kory reference and I think Halle’s face is actually perfect for her but that’s besides the point.

My last main inspiration i’ll touch upon is Miss Sohee. I think it will be obvious when I show pictures of some of her gowns, how her design aesthetic influenced me in designing the dresses my own dress. Fun fact! One of the aforementioned press tour looks was a custom miss sohee gown!! (the other one I used as inspiration is the purple one I include later)

FINALLY!!! here are more specific inspirations for each look!😄 (you can scroll up to compare, alas i have no room to include them side by side)

I was very excited to get to contribute to this wonderful zine, Songs For 2022! Ten artists all contributed a playlist of songs, a little artist statement on the meaning behind the choices, and a beautiful fold-out cover art!

It’s risograph-printed, 4 x 4 inches, 24 (or 48 depending on how you count them) pages, beautifully printed by Colour Code Printing in Canada and assembled by hand in Vermont.

It features art and playlists by Carey Pietsch @careydraws, Kendra, Kat @ocicatsy-sfw, Maia Kobabe, Dylan Edwards @dylanndr, Ben Wilgus, Orcamode, sfè r. monster @sfemonster, and SWS @swsearle, with design and illustration by Kori Michele @tumblngkori. You can find copies for sale at Kori’s online shop and you can listen to my playlist (all kpop) here. My artist statement under the cut.

It’s almost impossible to overstate how much kpop music has come to mean to me, especially since the start of the pandemic. Before covid, I was already a listener and casual fan. The bright pop beats kept my energy up, and the Korean lyrics didn’t distract my brain while trying to write in English. During social distancing, kpop music and fandom dominated my free time and media consumption, and looking forward to new music videos and online concerts filled my otherwise empty calendar. I participated in passionate, lively conversations with other fans online. Now I have turned many of these internet connections into IRL friendships. This summer, I looked around a car full of friends road tripping from SF to LA for a kpop concert and realized every single one of us had met online through kpop. Without this music, I wouldn’t have any of these very dear people in my life today. 

This playlist has some of my very favorite songs of the past few years. Each one sparkles and bubbles like champagne in my ears, makes me sway in my seat, and close my eyes in pleasure. Even if you don’t regularly listen to kpop music, I highly recommend these songs. And if you like them– there’s so much more to discover!
