Stray Kids and Tommy Hilfiger joined forces at the Met Gala, making history with custom-designed tuxedos and a special collaboration that left an indelible mark on the fashion world.

This groundbreaking partnership is the latest example of how K-pop stars are reshaping the luxury fashion landscape, blending bold style with global fan power.

Tommy Hilfiger, standing amidst an array of meticulously crafted suits from the recent Met Gala, takes pride in his collaboration with K-pop superstars Stray Kids.

These tailored tuxedos were no ordinary designs; they carried a unique touch - a custom label that read, “Tommy Hilfiger with Stray Kids,” marking a moment that Hilfiger believes will be remembered for years to come.

As the first K-pop group ever to attend the Met Gala, Stray Kids made a lasting impression, setting the internet ablaze with excitement. Their partnership with Hilfiger brought together the electric energy of K-pop and the timeless style of American fashion.

“This project was something truly special,” Hilfiger said with enthusiasm ahead of his New York Fashion Week show. “We did a custom label just for Stray Kids, and it resonated with everyone - both the group and our team.

I think it’s one of the most memorable collaborations we’ve ever had.”

Reflecting on the buzz they generated at the event, Hilfiger added, “K-pop is a cultural force, and to have our brand align with Stray Kids at this moment was perfect.

The timing was just right, and we were undoubtedly one of the most talked-about brands that night.”

Stray Kids are just one of many K-pop idols making waves in the fashion world. Global fashion houses are increasingly recognizing the star power of these artists, with many brands bringing K-pop idols on board as ambassadors to tap into their immense fanbases.

In just the past year, nearly 30 K-pop stars have been named the faces of luxury brands, with BLACKPINK’s Lisa, BTS’ Jin, and aespa’s Karina recently teaming up with Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Prada.

The influence of K-pop stars on the fashion industry is undeniable, as they bring not only media coverage but also the loyalty of their massive communities. Alison Bringe, Chief Marketing Officer at Launchmetrics, noted, “K-pop stars have cultivated deeply devoted followings.

When a brand partners with them, it’s not just about press - they’re gaining access to millions of engaged fans.”

During June’s Paris Fashion Week, South Korea ranked among the top regions driving global fashion buzz, largely thanks to K-pop idols. Their influence at fashion week is undeniable, and they continue to be among the most anticipated attendees, drawing excitement and fanfare wherever they go.

“K-pop is all about boldness, style, and pushing boundaries. Fashion plays a huge role in that,” said Lily from NMIXX, another K-pop group making waves as ambassadors for Loewe.

“Fashion fuels K-pop, and K-pop gives fashion a whole new life.”

As Stray Kids and Tommy Hilfiger showed at the Met Gala, the synergy between K-pop and high fashion is a dynamic that’s only getting stronger.

With every red carpet appearance, these partnerships continue to captivate audiences across the globe, leaving an unforgettable mark on both industries.
