KATSEYE continues their meteoric rise in global music and fashion with a striking set of pictorials for the i-D 375 “The Beta Issue,” a digital cover that merges youth culture, high style, and innovative editorial vision. The six-member girl group is featured in bold, monochrome ensembles, most notably showcasing sleek black silhouettes that highlight each member’s unique personality while still emphasizing their collective power as a unit. Standout moments from the shoot include daring poses — one such image sees Lara demonstrating a yoga-inspired, high-heel pose that has become a point of viral admiration amongst fans for both its athleticism and avant-garde spirit.

The Beta Issue itself serves as a platform for new directions in style and storytelling, positioning KATSEYE not just as trendsetters but as symbols of the dynamic evolution of K-pop within luxury fashion. Styling for the shoot is credited to Lisa Jarvis, known for artful pairings of pared-back tailoring with statement accessories, marrying urban sophistication with attitude. Photographer Christian Soria captures the group in moody lighting and confident group arrangements, emphasizing modern femininity, fierce independence, and global connectivity.

Behind the scenes, the pictorial is also shaped by the group’s commitment to self-expression and bold creativity, with styling choices that nod to both group harmony and individual narrative. Subtle symbols, like a recurring eye motif, give the shoot a mysterious edge and have sparked lively debate among fans about possible deeper meanings. The cover feature further includes i-D’s interview where KATSEYE shares insights on mental health, finding joy during grueling shoots, and their aspirations for global artistic impact.

As KATSEYE’s influence continues to grow, the i-D 375 “Beta Issue” pictorial reaffirms their place at the vanguard of pop and fashion, blending stunning visuals with layered storytelling in a way that only this new era of global girl groups can deliver.
