I was too incredibly shocked and saddened by the news of Daul Kim passing yesterday that I just couldn't bring myself to post...
so fresh was she in all our minds with so much of her recent work being posted on some of the most popular blogs including knighttcat and on the cover of Russh magazine (now if that isn't a collectors issue).
Frockwriter has posted an in depth look at her death and that of several other models in the space of 18 months all from suspected suicide.
She notes:
"Some of Kim’s musings were however quite dark and on several occasions she found herself having to defend her mental state on the blog.
In April 2007, shortly after she launched the blog, Kim wrote:
“and thanks to stupid tv show from korea ppl think i like to
torture myself and thanks to that im getting lots and lots of
suicide emails on a daily basis
but im definately not depressed, and i dont want to killmyself”
So I decided to post today a bit of a montage of her work!
What a face! she will be greatly missed...








Here's an exerpt if you missed it from Fashion Gone Rogue:
"It is with sadness that we pass on news from The Cut that Daul Kim has died.
As her agents at Next confirm, she was found dead in Paris this morning.
In a released statement, they have expressed that “She was a top model and a great friend to all of us at Next. Please respect her family’s privacy at this time of sadness. We will all miss her very much.”
The cause of death is currently unknown, but the Cut suggests that it was suicide. Whatever the cause, Daul will be deeply missed."Interestingly, there still is no post dedication to miss Kim on the Russh blog, perhaps they too can't bring themselves to post...
For more memories visit Daul's cool as shit blog,
I like to fork myself, and visit the post
here where she sticks it up (literally) to Barneys.
