![]() The firm’s 2021 Luxury Goods Worldwide Market Study noted that Korean shoppers choosing to buy at home rather than overseas has “more than compensated for the lack of tourism” in the country. While many Asian markets are still recovering from the impact of the pandemic, luxury spending in South Korea has bounced back to 2019 levels, according to consulting firm Bain & Company. Louis Vuitton’s womenswear division is meanwhile working with “Squid Game” star Ho-yeon Jung. Jisoo’s Blackpink bandmates have all partnered with major luxury brands, with Rosé the face of Saint Laurent and Tiffany & Co., Lisa representing Celine and Bulgari and Jennie working with Chanel and Calvin Klein. Several other labels have looked to appoint South Korean stars as brand ambassadors, with Gucci, Loewe, Givenchy, Chanel, Prada and Alexander McQueen among those to sign up K-pop singers, movie stars or both in recent years. The show put a punkish twist on the theme of uniforms. One of the last shows overseen by the label’s late creative director Virgil Abloh, it featured K-pop mega-band BTS, which had signed as Louis Vuitton ambassadors earlier in the year. Louis Vuitton, for instance, presented its men’s fall-winter 2021 collection at an art space outside Seoul. Inspired by the brand’s Paris headquarters, the sprawling open-air boutique features a garden and lounge, with furniture by various Korean designers.ĭior is not the first European fashion house to stage events in South Korea as other Asian destinations – China, most notably – prove difficult to operate in amid Covid-19 restrictions. On Sunday, shortly after the show, the label opened a sizable new concept store in the capital’s trendy Seongsu-dong neighborhood. Its flagship store, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Christian de Portzamparc, opened in the capital in 2015. ![]() Myunggu Han/Dior/Getty Imagesĭior’s website lists almost 25 boutiques across South Korea, including seven in Seoul’s exclusive Gangnam district.

Anrealage had a stunning colourful light show on stage last night with outfits changing colour right in front of our very eyes. For sure not all shows are black and white. Admittedly it was freezing yesterday but the sun was still out and I was surprised at how many were not wearing sunglasses – could be a new trend in itself.Ĭurious to see what the rest of the week has to offer on the street style front. Time to get out your chunky jewellery – especially when it comes to pearls. Let’s face it has tulle ever been out? Can you ever be dressed wrong wearing a tailored black brocade blazer, or the classic Dior Bar jacket?Īnyone with long hair – this is the season for plats. That saddle bag will be an item for ever – same with the ready to wear. There is one thing that is truly to be said about Dior – once you have a piece it does become timeless. Lots of hats – these made me think of the 50’s or even earlier. Tulle, tulle and more tulle to be seen with not much worn underneath, Plenty of brocade blazers. Going through the pictures makes me feel as though I am either stepping back in time or have gone for a trip way back into the hillside villages of Spain. Whilst Milan last week was a sea of colour Dior was pretty much black and white. As always it was was absolutely buzzing with photographers and Dior muses. Paris Fashion Week is now in full swing and the Dior show yesterday was no exception.
