If there was ever any question about K-pop’s growing influence on fashion, one only had to look to Paris Fashion Week. As luxury brands presented their men’s fall/winter 2023 fashion shows, they did so with some of the biggest K-pop stars in attendance.
Just this week, BTS singer Jimin was named the new ambassador of Dior. A few days later, there he was, finely suited up in tailoring by Dior designer Kim Jones, causing a stir at the Place de la Concorde in Paris for the French fashion brand’s menswear presentation. As if Jimin’s star power wasn’t enough, Dior also made sure to invite his BTS bandmate J-Hope, who had made an appearance at Louis Vuitton’s fashion show the day before too.
BTS wasn’t the only South Korean boyband to dominate Paris. Over at Givenchy, Bigbang’s Taeyang showed up with bleached hair, a distressed black hoodie and jeans, reminding everyone that G-Dragon isn’t the only stylish member in the YG boyband. And, showing up at the Saint Laurent fashion show, Ten of NCT proved to be a brilliant fit for Anthony Vaccarello’s elegant and sultry vision of menswear.
Below, we spotlight the K-pop stars who stood out at Paris Fashion Week this season.
