Best Dressed of the Week: G-Dragon in Chanel
updated the 6 October 2015 à 23:07The K-pop idol showed everyone how a real rock star dresses with his cape like Chanel tweed jacket.
Following successful shows in Singapore and Dubai, it was only a matter of time before Chanel brought the show to cosmopolitan Seoul, South Korea. May 4th saw the world renowned French label showcase the highly anticipated Chanel Cruise 2016 at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza.
Although it clashed with the Met Gala, one of the most high profile events in the fashion calendar, Karl Lagerfeld still managed to attract a slew of top celebrities like Kristen Stewart (current face of Chanel), Gisele Bundchen, Tilda Swinton, Isabelle Huppert and the creme de la creme of the K-pop industry.
While the ladies no doubt looked their demure best in their Chanel garb, it was Korean pop star G-Dragon of Big Bang fame who stole the show with his Chanel tweed jacket. While other stars chose to be decked out head to toe in the French label, G-Dragon chose to mix and match instead, pairing the cape like jacket with a simple black tee, jeans and a colourful belt. Unlike fellow Korean rapper CL who made an appearance heavily adorned in the brand’s iconic accessories, G-Dragon chose to accessorise his outfit with a thick gold chain and multiple Chanel bracelets on both arms. His sleek sunglasses with the interlocking C’s and the fingerless gloves – a la Lagerfeld himself – were the ultimate finish to the rock star gone Haute Couture look.
In a sea of gowns and bright pastel colours, G-Dragon held his own and killed it!
