Each girl has done what
all of us do, and worked
an on-trend item into their
own ‘personal’ look, except
that, because they’re BFFs,
the ‘personal’ parts of their
style are very, very similar.
When filtering
through their wardrobes,
getting dressed before
their meet-up, each girl will
have concluded that based
on the weather, the oc-
casion, a dash of her own
personal style and a touch
of a new season trend, the
best outfit they had for the
occasion was this.
Your new rule is as
follows; if your BFF’s got it,
don’t buy it. Chances are
everyone else’s bestie will
have already bought it too.

Wong Yuk-hei (better known by his stage
name, Lucas) is a member of WayV as
well as NCT and supergroup SuperM, making

this 21-year-old pop star very busy indeed.
He’s no stranger to the catwalk having
walked for Korean brands KYE and
Charm’s during SS19’s Hera Seoul
Fashion Week, appeared at
Burberry events in Beijing
and Chengdu, and also
attended the British
brand’s SS20 show
in London.

The

already popular
Girl group Itzy (Yeji, Lia, Ryujin,
Chaeryeong, and Yuna) only debuted in
February 2019, but they’ve scooped a dozen trophies
at various Asian music awards and have played a US showcase
tour. Louis Vuitton has taken them under its wing — all five members
attended the Cruise 2020 show in New York and SS20 in Paris — and their loud,
feisty pop certainly suits Nicolas Ghesquière’s audacious catwalk statements. Much of Itzy’s
stagewear revolves around pleated tartan skirts, fitted crop tops, thigh-high boots, touches
of sportswear and BDSM accessories, but they’ve also been known to rock some serious
glitter and gold. Youthful and versatile, their downtime wardrobe shifts from voluminous

hoodies to oversized blazers and leather jackets with straight-leg jeans for
student chic that always looks effortless.

Irene (Bae Joo-hyun), the 28-year-
old leader of girl group Red Velvet,
stopped traffic when she arrived
at Miu Miu’s AW19 show in Paris
wearing a black and gold sequin
dress from the label’s SS19
collection, a diamanté
bow choker and a
black blazer draped
over her shoulders.
Her style frequently
mirrors Miu Miu’s
old-world elegance
with an edge, so it’s
little surprise that the
house appointed her a
brand ambassador in the
summer of 2019.

Exo has a number of fashionistas in its
boy band ranks — it’s been impossible
to miss the sartorial rise of Kai, Gucci

favourite and GQ’s 7th Best Dressed Man of
2020 — but Sehun, the group’s youngest
at 25, has found his own niche.
Beloved by fashion magazine
editors for his narrow,
chiselled jaw, he’s also been
associated with Louis
Vuitton for several years,
attending Paris shows in
2017 and 2018, and last
year’s Gangnam-gu
opening of Louis
Vuitton Maison
Seoul. In contrast
to Kai’s more
flamboyant
style, Sehun is

of K-pop’s biggest female soloists, Sunmi has a
chameleonic charm when it comes to fashion. She
drives up the glam onstage in dazzling minidresses
from Discount Universe, Dior and Ashish, plays a
