K-Pop fashion icon G-Dragon of boy band Big Bang, is starting to make waves internationally - look out for his heavily ripped denim and colorful biker jackets.
Kwon Ji-yong, better known by his stage name G-Dragon, is the leader of South Korea boy band, Big Bang. He is a recording artist, songwriter, producer and model. In recent years, he has become known as much for his look as his music and he is starting to make fashion waves internationally.
Big Bang
Big Bang debuted in 2006 and are known for their hip-pop music and energetic freestyle dancing. Like many pop stars, the band's five members have received plenty of attention based on their individual fashion styling. Unlike other K-Pop groups who adopt a uniform look, the members of Big Bang incorporate their individual styles into a single concept in a group format.
Key terms for the band include hi-top sneakers, brightly colored skinny jeans, leather trousers, bold jewelry and accessories. Big Bang's latest music video, Fantastic Baby, created a surreal feel with expressive styling, the use of hyper colours and dramatic hair and make-up.
