Shoulder to shoulder with Kanye West, Rihanna, etc... Complex, "Always one step ahead of the trend"

G-Dragon was selected as the 16th "21st Century Best Dresser" announced by Complex on the 12th (local time). Complex praised G-Dragon, saying, "He is a person who set the standard for fashion even before K-POP brought about a worldwide craze," adding, "He has always been one step ahead of the trend."

In particular, he emphasized, "Even nearly 20 years after his debut, G-Dragon is still redefined the concept of 'style' in K-pop, inspiring a generation as a whole to break down boundaries, and look at fashion as a form of self-expression," and praised the pioneering influence of Korean artists on the global fashion industry as a whole.

Genderless Style Mainstreamization Spreads to 'Airport Fashion' Global Culture... Re-defined the flow of the fashion world

G-Dragon has set the standard for "style icons" with his unrivaled senses since his debut. He is considered to have cleared the boundaries between high fashion and streetwear by playing leading items such as Alexander McQueen, Comme des Garcons, and Nike Air More Up Tempo.

Since he was selected as Chanel's first Asian male global ambassador in 2016, he has proven his unrivaled brand power by spreading products introduced through collaboration with Nike and Jacob & Co. to global trends.

In addition, G-Dragon has established "airport fashion" as a global cultural phenomenon, and has led the genderless style, which was unconventional for male artists, to a mainstream trend. In particular, the "Peace Minus 1 × Nike" collaboration is evaluated as a decisive opportunity to change the global fashion consumption culture, and it is analyzed that it played a key role in creating a trend in which luxury brands' collaboration with K-pop artists began in earnest.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon is set to perform an encore concert in Seoul for the G-DRAGON 2025 WORLD TOUR [Ubermensch], which has successfully completed 36 performances in 16 cities around the world.
