For Harper’s BAZAAR Korea’s September 2025 issue, Karina of aespa proves herself to be the latter — rendered not just as muse, but as a celestial force, refracted through the opulent lens of BVLGARI. This is not merely a pictorial; it is a portrait of modern myth-making, composure meeting cosmos. Modern Venus, Sculpted in Shadow and Light Karina’s presence is, as ever, chiseled elegance: the sharp planes of her face echoing ancient statuary yet softened by the

BELIFT LAB “The September issue doesn’t predict a season—this one promises a generation.” There is something about the September issue cover that always feels like a proclamation: not simply what is in season, but what will define the season. For ILLIT, ascending from K-pop’s brightest next generation into an undeniable cultural phenomenon, this month’s ELLE Korea cover signals not just an arrival but a coronation. Emerging against a decidedly stripped-back set—neutral tones punctuated with sharp, crystalline light—the five members stand not only as musicians but as muses in motion. Their silhouettes are elongated by couture tailoring: sharply cut jackets paired with

MEN Noblesse “Jay Park proves elegance can swagger.” In the September issue of MEN Noblesse, Jay Park stands not just as a musician, mogul, and cultural provocateur, but as a fully realized style icon—an avatar of modern masculinity clothed in the language of luxury. His collaboration with Gucci for this autumnal cover is less about simply wearing the clothes and more about embodying a narrative: a kind of new-world aristocracy defined not by inheritance, but self-invention. The imagery is charged with duality—the sleek tailoring of Gucci’s Fall/Winter 2025 line, cut with an edge both decadent and

SM Entertainment There’s a certain charge that happens when fashion collides with persona—when a magazine spread becomes more than a constellation of garments and angles, but instead, the crystallization of aura. For DAZED KOREA’s September 2025 issue, rising star XngHan doesn’t just enter the frame—he consumes it, blurring the boundaries between performance and portraiture. In this pictorial preview, we witness a deliberate coolness, a meticulously crafted moodboard come alive. The styling leans into contradictions—architectural tailoring meets fluid silhouettes, rigid monochromes destabilized by shocks of experimental textures. His posture is a language all its own: a quiet defiance, a

And this season, one of its most intriguing intersections arrives with KATSEYE—the dazzling Korean girl group already commanding global fanbases—stepping into their latest role as the new brand ambassadors for GAP. At first glance, the pairing feels like a study in contrasts: KATSEYE, the epitome of next-generation K-pop glamour, known for their pristine choreography, cutting-edge visuals, and a carefully curated futurism; and GAP, a quintessential American heritage brand whose vocabulary is rooted in ease, accessibility,

BELIFT LAB The intersection of fashion, beauty, and music finds a striking new expression in W Korea’s September 2025 issue, where ILLIT members Minju and Moka step into the frame as the latest muses for an exclusive collaboration with MAC Cosmetics. In this preview, the pictorial is less about spectacle and more about elevated artistry—the careful balancing of youthful energy with the poise and refinement demanded by high-fashion editorials. The imagery immediately suggests a visual dialogue between classical sophistication and contemporary edge, demonstrating how beauty can function as a discourse rather than a simple aesthetic layer.
