Sullyoon Steps Into 2026: Style, Confidence, and Motion

The start of 2026 brings a striking collaboration that perfectly bridges K-pop vibrancy with global fashion energy—NMIXX’s Sullyoon headlines the January issue of Marie Claire Korea in partnership with iconic Japanese brand Onitsuka Tiger.

Emerging as one of K-pop’s most captivating new-era visuals, Sullyoon embodies everything Onitsuka Tiger represents: athletic heritage mixed with modern poise. The pictorial, teased by the magazine this week, delivers a visual symphony of tailored streetwear, soft glam, and dynamic motion that feels both nostalgic and futuristic.

“I wanted every shot to show grace in movement,” Sullyoon shares in the feature, reflecting her vision of fluid strength.

Creative Synergy: Onitsuka Tiger Meets Sullyoon’s Dual Charm

Onitsuka Tiger’s creative team chose Sullyoon for her balance of delicacy and edge—a contrast that parallels the brand’s philosophy of merging tradition with technology. Shot against sleek, urban backdrops, the campaign highlights sharp silhouettes layered with muted palettes, often contrasted by vivid accents.

Each frame captures Sullyoon mid-motion—her expressive poses, windblown hair, and clear gaze narrating a story of youth evolving into elegance. This editorial direction signals Marie Claire Korea’s growing devotion to K-pop artistry, integrating idols not just as campaign faces but as co-creators of style language.

Key Visual Highlight: Sullyoon wears a structured white jacket over technical joggers, framed by Seoul’s evening lights—a moment that symbolizes “movement within stillness.”

A Milestone Beyond Fashion

For Sullyoon, this marks a milestone moment: her first Marie Claire Korea solo pictorial leading a fashion collaboration with an international brand. It also arrives as NMIXX’s artistic image matures, reflecting the group’s evolution from lively pop ensembles to ambassadors of creativity and individuality.

Through this collaboration, Marie Claire Korea reinforces its position as one of Asia’s fashion media leaders shaping the intersection of pop culture and design. Meanwhile, Onitsuka Tiger continues its streak of tapping K-pop icons to interpret Japanese craftsmanship through fresh, global eyes.

As anticipation builds for the full spread and cover release, this preview reminds us that Sullyoon’s aura—gentle yet unshakably powerful—has only begun to define the new fashion decade.

“Sullyoon turns every fashion frame into quiet choreography—each image moves, even when it’s still.”
