British Magazine Shines Spotlight on BIGBANG’s G-Dragon as Fashion Icon

BIGBANG 빅뱅 Articles July 17, 2015

In a new article entitled “How K-pop star G-Dragon took over Paris couture,” British style magazine Dazed and Confused shines a spotlight on BIGBANG‘s leader G-Dragon as a fashion icon to watch out for.

It’s no secret to fans that G-Dragon is a trailblazing fashionista, but as Taylor Glasby writes, “[T]his Paris couture season marked G-Dragon’s entrée into the big leagues,” referring to G-Dragon’s attendance at the Chanel casino-themed couture show.

Taylor Glasby describes G-Dragon as a “natural style chameleon” and his taste as “fluid and far reaching,” giving a nod to his penchant for mixing and matching off-the-runway pieces with streetwear brands.

The article includes a gallery featuring G-Dragon’s photos from Paris Fashion Week as well as a handful of music videos from both his solo and group activities.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon is currently on a world tour with BIGBANG. The group recently wrapped up concerts in Thailand and will be hitting up Singapore next on July 18-19.

BIGBANG explain the dream-like scenes in "Sober' MV making-of clip

BIGBANG 빅뱅 Articles July 14, 2015

BIGBANG is back with the 'D' of their 'MADE' series which includes the MV for "Sober". The group has just revealed behind-the-scenes footage that gives fans all the details of how the MV was made!

As usual, the members seemed to have had tons of fun and were full of laughs on set. G-Dragon, who goes into detail on the music video's concept and the reasoning behind certain scenes, however looks especially tired -- likely due to the boys' grueling tour schedule. The members do find time between filming scenes to kick around a ball.
