Today, August 18th is G-Dragon’s 32nd birthday. In addition to his company YG posting birthday wishes for him on social media last night, his BIGBANG bandmate Taeyang also shared a childhood photo of the two in the early morning to celebrate their friendship, showing the depth of their relationship.
At the same time, GD’s sister also posted childhood photos of her brother on Instagram to congratulate him, and the childlike GD is simply adorable!
Looking back on the history of the Korean Wave, G-Dragon’s name must definitely be recorded. From debuting at the age of 5, to joining the group BIGBANG, and then going solo, he has always shone on stage with his strong talent.
In addition to captivating everyone with his powerful stage presence, G-Dragon’s unique fashion taste has also captured everyone’s hearts. His styles on and off the stage are never careless, nor do they adhere to conventions. He dares to break boundaries, and even because of this, he has gained the appreciation of the venerable Karl Lagerfeld, being invited to sit in the front row of CHANEL’s major show and serve as a brand ambassador, becoming one of the most skilled male celebrities in wearing CHANEL.
At the same time, he also established his own personal brand, expanding his influence in the fashion world, making the public all submit to his fashion charm. On the big day of G-Dragon’s birthday today, let’s take a look back at his most impressive classic styles.
G-Dragon’s every CHANEL outfit can be considered a classic, often able to wear the brand’s women’s wear items with his own unique style and temperament, pioneering Chanel’s neutral fashion, breaking free from fixed gender frameworks, and stunning people. In the spring/summer haute couture show of 2016, he wore a full velvet suit with a giant fur hat, exuding a powerful feminine aura.
At the 2018 spring/summer fashion show, he continued to wear women’s clothing, putting on a black sweater made of shiny material, layered with a shirt, adorned with a brand logo pin, carrying a Gabrielle de Chanel handbag with graffiti design, and with red hair, he immediately caught everyone’s attention.
He made a strong comeback at the beginning of the year, attending a high fashion show wearing a CHANEL tweed jacket with multiple small brooches cleverly fastened on it. He then carried a pearl chain handbag decorated with DIY hand-painted designs, showcasing a mixed style that became the focus of the camera, and fully demonstrating his sharp fashion sense.
He, standing on the stage, has a versatile style, having tried almost all exaggerated hair colors and styles, and continues to showcase the idea of breaking free from gender norms in his clothing. Different elements, colors, and cuts leave fans in awe. For example, in the 2017 world tour, he used red tones as the main theme, even focusing on red in his styling. One outfit, a red velvet suit from Balenciaga, gave off a stylish rock vibe when he wore it, along with red nail polish adding a touch of allure. It is through such bold attempts and challenges that the unforgettable “G-Dragon style” is created today.
Even in street snaps or casual outfits, G-Dragon can still showcase his fashionable personality, and classic black, white, and gray tones can also bring out his personality. For example, wearing his favorite Vetements clothing with Balenciaga sneakers, the casual street style has become a fashion statement for men. Or when wearing a neutral-toned Lanvin suit, he will also add a hot pink scarf to add a highlight, showing that paying attention to the details is also a major factor in making him a “fashion icon”.
