K-Pop Fashion: Blackpink’s Jennie Joins Gentle Monster, G-Dragon’s Chanel Instagram Posts and the Kai X Gucci Collection – the Korean Idols and K-Drama Actors Leading Global Trends

Exo’s dance machine Kai, fondly known as “Human Gucci’’, has launched a capsule collection with the Italian fashion brand. It’s Gucci’s first collection created in tandem with a Korean celebrity.

The Kai x Gucci collection’s motif brings forth nostalgic memories: a brown teddy bear with a little blue tie accompanies the Exo singer throughout the campaign. It’s chic and cute with a vintage classic appeal, and appears consistently throughout the collection as a knitted design on a shirt, a small patch logo or as a monogram on a bag.

Meanwhile, Chanel’s face in Korea, G-Dragon, has uploaded another series of accessory photos on Instagram, displaying his two favourites, no less: Chanel accessories and statement pieces from his very own label, Peaceminusone. He seems to be wearing a blue Chanel tweed jacket and trousers with tons of accessories – a purse necklace, gold chain belt, a boyfriend watch, a cuff with the iconic double C’s and stacks of rings. Also spotted were a Peaceminusone daisy bracelet and a small daisy pouch.
