Soyeon of I-DLE commands attention in ELLE Korea’s October 2025 D Edition, where she embodies a masterclass in contemporary styling through the exclusive Coach collaboration. The pictorial distinctly highlights a sophisticated fusion of textures and silhouettes, reflecting a nuanced understanding of fashion as a form of personal expression beyond the music stage.

From the outset, Soyeon’s styling boldly plays with structure and form. On the cover, she dons a sharply tailored jacket crafted from rich, matte leather that contrasts beautifully with subtle metallic hardware—a signature of Coach’s craftsmanship. The silhouette is angular yet fluid, creating an unexpected balance between toughness and elegance. The garment’s precise tailoring accentuates her strong posture while maintaining an understated luxe appeal that feels highly wearable.

Throughout the editorial, fabric choices shape the visual narrative. Soyeon navigates between plush velvets, crisp cottons, and supple leathers, each material adding a layer of tactile interest. In particular, the deep emerald velvet blazer paired with satin wide-leg trousers exemplifies a modern reinterpretation of classic luxury, where softness meets architectural cut. The interplay of light in these textures brings depth to every frame, inviting viewers to appreciate the intricate detailing—from polished buttons to subtle stitching that marks Coach’s dedication to quality.

Silhouettes also evolve strikingly—from voluminous outerwear with exaggerated shoulders to minimalist layering that underscores Soyeon’s versatility. The use of asymmetry and layering creates movement within stillness, offering a dynamic yet measured approach to styling. Her pairing of a cropped leather vest with oversized sleeves beneath demonstrates a keen eye for proportion and contrast, emphasizing the tension between masculine and feminine aesthetics.

Accessories are skillfully integrated without overpowering the outfits. Coach’s signature bags and sleek ankle boots serve as functional yet fashionable extensions of the looks, complementing rather than competing with the apparel. This thoughtful curation speaks volumes about Soyeon’s growing influence as a fashion muse who understands how to harmonize every element to tell a cohesive story.

This ELLE Korea x Coach collaboration is not only a visual celebration of craftsmanship and design but also an educational showcase of how texture, silhouette, and accessories converge to elevate fashion narratives. Soyeon’s poised confidence acts as the perfect canvas for this editorial’s refined, contemporary edge, reinforcing why she continues to be a compelling figure in the intersection of K-pop and high fashion.
