Luxury brands in KPOP : has it ever impacted you ?

i have a nice pair of loafers that i try to wear a lot that are a bit precious, couldn't tell you that it was inspired by any specific idol for sure

I’ve never been a luxury brands girl. I have awareness enough of when I like things, and I like to look at them and see the styling, but I’m not fussed.

I’m just glad for our faves that they’re getting represented in the wider sphere.

girl, I'm poor

wonyoung made me notice miu miu, so if they were going for brand awareness they succeeded with me lol

I am a broke ass

And most brands they wear in the videos do not look like things I would even wear

I’m poor but i want to buy a luxury bag a day either LV or Dior.

I don’t really support high-end brands - it’s ok if you can afford it but even if I had the money, I would want to invest it in something else more meaningful (fashion isn’t all that important to me). I don’t mind celebs being brand ambassadors, it is part of their job and many are good at it! Every once in a blue moon, I do take inspirations from some designs I really love and buy a more reasonable, similar items.

i mostly just wear cheap and casual so nope

I've read fashion magazines since I was very young, so I already knew all these brands names. I don't usually buy high fashion clothes, I'm more into a casual style (the most expensive shoes I've ever bought are Converse, Vans or Timberland lol), and while I enjoy knowing what clothes are idols wearing, I don't buy them, unless I really really love a piece of clothing, and I can afford it of course.

Jisoo played a big role in DIOR strong growth...

do you have some numbers? because dior has always been HUGE. everyone knows dior, even people who couldn't care less about fashion brands have heard of dior

i heard about celine thanks to V, he wore celine t shirts in few of his lives. i don't follow blackpink and i had no idea lisa is endorsing the brand

back to topic; i have no idea which idol endorses what brand but i have heard of all the brands they endorse apart from above mentioned celine. i don't have money to buy them but if i did idols would have no impact on my choice

not really

Most luxury items kpop idols and influencers wear are very into your face, new money vibe.

They don't even look classy and pretty.

I much prefer stylists who make custom outfits for each comeback.

Quote from ripia

Yeah, they made me realise how ugly some fashion brand can be.

my current fave

wtf

Well first of all they stood out to me more. Like when I see dior I think oh Jisoo is an ambassador for that brand or when I hear Louis Vuitton my mind immediately goes to BTS.

But I never thought about buying any of their products, way too expensive for me. My parents and me will stick to Coach, Michael Kors, Kate Spades and products on Costco thank you very much.

Dior has always been huge but Celine was a step behind especially in Korea, not everyone was promoting Celine 2-3 years ago so lisa made it relevant.

i'm not denying it, i'm not denying her impact. i was trying to say that armys don't keep up with bp activities, why would we know that lisa is a brand ambassador. v's impact is also big and celine itself acknowledged it by inviting him to the party in paris despite him not being officially involved with the brand in any way

Givenchy your tasteless . Givenchy only famous for their glasses nothing else.

Bvlgary is well known high-end luxury but too expensive

Dior was rebranding by edi slimane same guy who working for Celine right now and Celine growing rapidly thanks to Hedi and Lisa.

Hedi make Dior men famous before he move to YSL

Nope. I live in a Western country and I haven't seen any Kpop idol do some big impact for a brand here. I always knew about these brands from the internet

The reason why luxury hired many Kpop now because thiers impact on growing market in Asia especially China. That's why Blackpinks are superior in fashion world but hater love mocking Blackpink sea popularity lol. Sea country economy is fastest growing in this world right now

the only luxury brand that really got advertised to me only because of kpop (and not magazines or something) was blumarine

edit: and WooYoungMi

Not at all, I’m not into high end fashion at all (I just wear what’s comfy or I think is cool) so I’m not their target audience anyway. Hell I never even heard some of these brands mentioned in this thread like celine or bvlgari (how do even pronounce that lol)

Luxury brands are for those that can’t afford it. Pointless if you actually care about looking stylish/rich/chic etc

facts. the richest people i know inherit a lot of their stuff (which is high quality) and/or dress pretty normal. there's no sense of aspiration to attract them to luxury clothes

If you can see a brand logo you know that it’s not for the rich lol. The more high quality but less recognizable by brand it is, that’s what actual rich people be buying.

I'm not interested in luxury brands.

I can get similar looking items of equal or even better quality for far less.

I only care about LV wallets and perfume, so...🤷🏽‍♀️

this was me discovering clothes by The Row

I have always known about luxury brands but most of them are not my type since they have huge in-your-face logos.

If I had the money, I would go for more classy brands like Moynat, Delvaux, Loro Piana, Roger Vivier, and Stuart Weitzman.

However, I do like a few pieces from popular luxury brands like the Celine classic box bag, YSL sac de jour, and Gucci horsebit 1955 shoulder bag(the brown leather one no monograms)

Loro Piana is like crack to me, i know it's not great value but it's just so clean

Ive always loved lux, money and richness so all the high end / luxury brands are familiar to me. Idols dont affect my decision of purchasing something. Maybe in my early kpop years i bought some innisfree flops because of Yoona but not anymore.

The richest people I know wear the ugliest and unstylish clothes ever But very expensive though. Spanish rich people have the ugliest taste, especially men.

ooh what's the spanish rich man starter pack?

Quote from KpopJop

ooh what's the spanish rich man starter pack?

They dress like this:

They all wear those vests, which are so expensive. Sometimes even under their blazers

They also wear Spanish flags everywhere: bracelets, belts, even shoes or collars and leashes for their dogs
