K-pop’s power players have the fashion industry in a choke-hold, and they’re showing no signs of letting go. As the latest high-fashion house to dive into the South Korean genre, Dior has named K-pop quintet Tomorrow X Together (TXT) its newest brand ambassadors.
Members Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun and Hueningkai teased the announcement last weekend, wearing custom-made Dior ensembles during their history-making set at Chicago’s Lollapalooza festival, where they became the first Korean group to headline the festival.
“Tomorrow X Together are the perfect ambassadors for Dior. They have a great attitude and style and they look great in their custom stage outfits,” said Dior artistic director Kim Jones via WWD.
“Our headlining set at Lollapalooza was one of the most significant performances of our career. It was truly an honor to share the stage with Dior, and we hope to continue to show Tomorrow X Together’s versatility through this partnership,” added Soobin, the group’s leader.
