Behind the scenes:


G-Dragon, “My Mentality Is Stronger Than Ever”

G-Dragon, "My Mentality Is Stronger Than Ever"
Kwon Ji Yong introduced singer G-Dragon.
The photography for the cover of Elle’s July issue was completed with G-Dragon’s flagship charisma and mood. The photography was taken with Chanel’s Cosmopolite collection. G-Dragon displays an overwhelming aura with his eyes and reveals a new appeal, wearing coats without inner wear.
In an interview that followed the photo shoot, G-Dragon openly talked about the reason why he put the stories of ordinary man Kwon Ji Yong in his first new solo album in four years, what he felt while working on the new album, and his life as G-Dragon.
To a question about the difference between G-Dragon and Kwon Ji Yong, G-Dragon answered, “G-Dragon is full of self-confidence and he is a fancier and stronger person. But Kwon Ji Yong is an introvert guy who has many thoughts in his mind and who wants to rely on family and friends. Kwon Ji Yong is searching for the comfort and reliable people that G-Dragon doesn’t have offstage.”
Regarding the most brilliant moment in his life, G-Dragon said, “At least until now, I shine more today than yesterday. Fortunately, the name itself as Kwon Ji Yong or G-Dragon is not important, but I firmly believe that I will stop doing this work without any hesitation, when I see myself not shining on the stage or my artistic outcome does not satisfy me any longer”.
G-Dragon also recollected his career so far, saying, “I feel so fortunate that my time as G-Dragon is not a dream. If it is a dream, it would be a very long dream. G-Dragon has existed from 2006, but I have lived as G-Dragon from the age of 13 and entered the entertainment world at the age of six. I’ve been in this world for 24 years. There has been no time when I was not belonging to some company. I may be physically weaker than in the past, but my mentality is stronger than ever before. I will think that this time was very meaningful, when looking back on these days later”.
Lastly, G-Dragon also talked about what he thinks about opening his heart in his new solo album, “So far, Kwon Ji Yong has acted G-Dragon on the stage, but this time, G-Dragon acts Kwon Ji Yong. It is hard, awkward, and cautious”.
The first show of G-Dragon’s solo world tour “ACT Ⅲ, M.O.T.T.E” which was held in Seoul was finished in a great success. G-Dragon will continue with his solo world tour in three cities in Asia, eight cities in North America, four cities in Oceania, three cities in Japan, and five cities in Europe.
The 16-page-long photography and interview of G-Dragon are available in Elle magazine’s July issue and the magazine’s website.

BIGBANGUPDATES Hypebeast & Highsnobiety Post Articles about G-Dragon’s Chanel Endorsement



G-Dragon Shows Us How He Rocks His Gabrielle Bag in Chanel’s Newest Campaign Video

The K-Pop artist joins Kristen Stewart, Willow Smith, Cara Delevingne, and Pharrell Williams.
G-Dragon is the newest face of Chanel‘s Gabrielle bag ad campaigns. Previously, celebrities such as Kristen Stewart, Willow Smith, Cara Delevingne, and Pharrell Williams got their turns to push the French fashion house’s “unisex” bag into the limelight, but now the label pivots to the massive K-Pop star. In the video, we see Dragon preparing for a big show — he’s relaxing, meditating, and making his way in-and-out of chaotic situations with the Gabrielle bag over his shoulders.
G-Dragon is widely known for his eclectic style and it makes sense why Chanel has tapped him for the campaign. Not only does he bring a type of newness and versatility to the accessory, but he can also reach the ever-expanding Asian luxury consumer.

Fendi Collaborates with K-Pop Superstar Taeyang

Young Bae’s teaming up with the luxury Italian house.
Taeyang, one fifth of k-pop group Big Bang, is lending his name to a new Fendi capsule collection. The offering, ‘Fendi for TaeYang,’ borrows select pieces from the storied house’s recent autumn offering and bedecks them in Taeyang motifs — think shearling jackets embroidered with his favourite flower, the daisy, or zipper pulls etched with his Instagram moniker, Young Bae.
The capsule is set to launch July 27, the very same day Fendi reopen their Hong Kong men’s flagship. And while it’s Taeyang’s first collaboration with a luxury label, Big Bang are no strangers to the fashion world: his bandmate G-Dragon is a Chanel ambassador and front row fixture. CL, another South Korean superstar, has also won over the international fashion set: now a muse to Jeremy Scott and a lifetime member of Alexander Wang’s #WANGSQUAD. Perhaps Taeyang will join her at NYFW soon.

You can expect to see floral designs and words such as “saved’, ‘faith’ and ‘passion’ embroidered on hoodies, T-shirts, bags and accessories.
This series features an array of everyday wardrobe essentials with daisy motifs as a signature design element. Crafted with premium shearling and calfskin together with a ‘Young Bae’ embellished zipper is what makes every part of this exclusive collection totally worth your buck.
The capsule collection, #FendixYoungBae will be available for pre-order on www.fendi.com starting from the end of July, which will also be launching in Singapore on the 1st of September, sold exclusively in the Marina Bay Sands Outlet.

i-D Online: “korean style is about moving fast” — g-dragon discusses the sound of korea’s future

i-D met the millennial Michael Jackson right after his private Chanel concert to celebrate the opening of the Mademoiselle Privé exhibition in Séoul.

This article was originally published by i-D France. 
G Dragon’s music is the sound of South Korea’s future. And probably our future too. At the age of six, he was already flexing his starry muscles in a band called Little Roora, before deciding to stay in the shadows for a few years and humbly learn his craft by observing how the big pop stars do things and interning his way through a series of record labels. Today, G Dragon appears like a new musical oracle, relevant across the world, and a star way beyond his native land. His fluid masculinity, borderless pop, and self-confidence on stage have brought him to the forefront of his genre.
In a world where everything is moving at top speed and everyone is embarking, headfirst, on a full throttle race to the top, well it doesn’t leave the typical careers with much life expectancy. Yet G Dragon always seems one step ahead, and is dragging our whole generation along for the ride.
Like his generation, he is versatile and open, and approaches music the same was he does style — his fashion brand Peaceminusone is another way for him to define his vision of the world. In 2015 in Seoul, Karl Lagerfeld predicted that the world would soon be obsessed with South Korea. And G Dragon of course. Since then, the star hasn’t left Chanel’s radar, and last week he performed at the inauguration of the Mademoiselle Privé exhibition in Seoul. The perfect occasion for i-D to discover what the future’s going to look like with him in it!
Hi G Dragon! You wear Chanel, you just performed for them in Seoul, what does Chanel mean to you?Chanel is Chanel. It’s not a brand. There’s nothing like Chanel in the world. No matter where you go, people know about it. You can’t explain Chanel. It’s a verb.
Your show was for an intimate crowd. How was that compared to the stadiums you’re used to?To be honest I prefer doing smaller shows. It’s more fun. Being on stage is different each time. The energy is never the same, people are different, the vibe changes all the time.
How do you feel before going on stage?I’m pretty chilled and cool. To be honest, I’m so used to it. I started music when I was six. I was nineteen, Korean age, when Big Bang started.If I’m not mistaken it should be seventeen for you guys.
Age is different in Korea?Yeah! It’s actually the only country in the world that works that way. Ask our President! I don’t know why, I wish I knew why. So today I’m 28 years old. But in Korea, I’m already 30. I know, it sucks…
You’re something of a superstar in Asia and you’re pretty huge in western countries too. How does it feel to be such an icon?It’s an honour to hear that! You know, that’s the thing about the 21stcentury: everyone is connected and the world keeps moving all the time. It looks so special but it’s so natural at the same time. If I post something new, everyone in the world will know what I’m doing right now, at the same exact moment. In the same way that I’m connected to people, I feel like social media now so intrinsically links fashion to music, art to pop, etc.
You had an exhibition in Paris with your brand, Peaceminusone. Do you define yourself as a designer?I don’t consider myself as a designer but as an artist — an artist… with a lot of clothes. My brand is not just a fashion brand. Two or three years ago, I supported young and emerging Korean artists with an exhibition that took place at the Seoul Museum of Art. I wanted people to know that Korean artists do great things.
Korean fashion is getting bigger each season and a lot of people are talking about it as a new phenomenon. Do you feel the same way?It’s getting bigger, but it’s not only fashion. The whole Korean market is getting bigger: may it be fashion, music or K-pop, whatever. It’s a culture as a whole, and I’m part of it.
Did you anticipate this shift when you started making music?I wasn’t trying to be famous when I started making music. I mean, that wasn’t the first thing I wanted. But of course, I see more and more people getting interested in Korean culture, and I’m so proud about it. I’m honoured in a way. I love my country so I’m more than happy to see it shine. It’s getting really fast, there’s a good and a bad side in it but I try to take the best of it. I still want to try new things so I can learn about them and then teach those things to younger people.
How would you describe Korean style?When I was young, I was fascinated by Japanese culture, style, and the way of life. I loved Chinese movies too. What I’m trying to say is that we used to learn from different Asian countries. Even from America and Europe. And trust me: Korean people learn so fast. The most important thing is to keep learning, otherwise you’re just copying. So if you want to be an artist, just make things your own. Basically, Korean style is about moving fast. Europe was once fascinated by Japan, but today a lot of eyes are on Korea. It’s not about minimalism or aesthetic anymore, it’s the Korean energy we admire.
Where does this energy come from?You know what, it’s because we have a hungry mind. We already have the fame and recognition but we still want more and more. We are still hungry. Korean people, including me, want to go faster and faster. In music, in fashion, in art too. One shot one kill: that’s my mentality.
What is the whole purpose of making music?That’s a really big question. I don’t really have an answer so I’ll talk about my new album, Kwon Ji Yong — my real name. It’s a new step forward in my life as I turn 30. That’s why I decided to name my tour Act III M.O.T.T.E. It’s the third act of my career. And M.O.T.T.E is about where I come from. I’m getting back to my roots with this album. We all live in a digital world, but I put my album on USB and on each USB, we used a hand-drawn red strike to represent DNA. I did some of them myself.
If you could make a wish, what would it be?For me you mean? The cover of i-D!
