BTS, who rule the world, have proven to be the best dressed boy group in the world. Made up of members Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, the K-pop group demonstrated a sartorial prowess that casts a shadow over any other boy group past or present (sorry, One D).
Whether he’s wearing the entirety of Bottega Veneta for the 2020 Grammys or matching the Alexander McQueen sets for the 2019 Billboard Music Awards, the record-breaking band – they have the most-watched music video of the year. YouTube story – honed a knack to fascinate us after glance.
Now, in recognition of their style choices, American designer Virgil Abloh has chosen them to appear in his latest Louis Vuitton fashion show. Earlier this year, the group, also known as “Bangtan Boys”, became the global ambassador for the French luxury house. This follows their appearance at the 63rd Grammy Awards, which saw them wear a suit for every occasion in a range of looks designed by Abloh, with RM in a Zoom-ready hoodie with blazer and V-style pockets and Jimin. in oversized suits.
For the AW21 spin-off, which took place last night in Seoul and was a further addition of the brand’s initial collection shown in January this year, BTS slipped into a selection of outfits from the Abloh’s seasonal offer, which will be available to acquire when it hits shelves later this summer.
For us, it was a lesson in top flight travel gear. Suga slipped into a two-piece suit adorned with aviation-patterned buttons, while Jungkook’s ultra-long coat had similar ties. Jimin and RM wore ultra-shiny, boxy luggage that served as a futuristic riff on the OG trunks that Louis Vuitton built their empire on in 1854, while each member of the group wore a pair of Abloh’s flowing dress pants.
Elsewhere, members threw in oversized woolen coats and trench coats with enough pockets for your passport, face mask, phone, and all the goodies you could get in the gigantic Heathrow duty free shop and a mug of LV brand transport was an essential journey for J-Hope.
