The fashion brand also tweeted the ad with a new picture of the sports pastel-style LV looks. The tweet calls them “Pop icons” and acknowledged their “extensive messages that influence them positively. I’m very happy today that BTS joins Louis Vuitton. I look forward to this wonderful partnership, which brings together luxury, contemporary culture, and a modern chapter in this House. I can’t wait to bestow all the very exciting projects in which we are working,’ said in a press release Virgil Abloh. “The fact that Louis Vuitton is a really exciting time for us to become global brand ambassadors,” added BTS. In addition to its cooperation with companies like Samsung and Hyundai Motors, this is the first global fashion deal for BTS.
With the increase in K-pop, Korean musicians became their brand ambassadors by more luxury fashion houses. Rose’s team-up with Tiffany & Co. and Jisoo for Dior have notable announcements in recent months.
Besides their charts, BTS has also rapidly developed into a powerful mode force, with Reddit’s entire threads and Instagram-style accounts. The guys were no stranger to high fashion. Even they were equipped in Gucci to make their “Dynamite” video and have everything from Dior to St. Lawrence sporadically. They teamed up officially with a fashion house for the first time. The group appeared last winter in a global campaign on FILA’s ‘Project 7’ collection, with a new temporary Tattoo line with Inkbox and continued collaboration with Samsung, BTS-fired phones, and earbuds.
