“Do not be alarmed. In the world of fashion, there is no such thing as a correct response.” When questioned about his rebellious trendsetting style, G-Dragon, a.k.a. Kwon Jiyoung, simply stated: He’s become a famous presence in K-pop as a composer, leader of BIGBANG, and style icon throughout the years, and he’s still unstoppable. It’s no surprise that G-Dragon was named one of the “500 People Shaping the Global Fashion Industry” by Business of Fashion in 2017.
G-Dragon’s influence has penetrated often impenetrable fashion circles around the world, forging friendships with the creative directors of Balmain, Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, and Thom Browne, among many others, and he worked closely with one of the most acclaimed designers of our time, Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel.
Punk with a twist
G-Dragon donned a rock punk appearance that he mixed with colorful pop elements throughout his “Crooked” and “Crayon” phase. This style reflects his musical ideas of going against the grain, discovering oneself, being carefree, and not caring what others say.
Denim is a cool fabric.
G-Dragon’s youthful appeal is amplified by his jean-on-jean style, which he frequently donned for a casual-cool attitude.
Animal print is taken to the next level
When it comes to interpreting and offering his own unique take on fashion trends, such as leopard print, G-Dragon always goes big. He may go minimalist or maximalist.
Chanel’s Face
The adjectives “legendary” and “luxury” come to mind when thinking about the renowned designer brand Chanel. The same can be said about G-Dragon, which is why he’s the ideal ambassador to represent the company.
The ideal outfit
When it comes to smart, fitted suits, G-Dragon doesn’t stick to tried-and-true styles, silhouettes, or colors. The suit is accessorized in a unique way, with patterns mixed and matched and offbeat designs chosen.
