Blackpink has been particularly successful in their fashion endeavours. Jennie Kim, often endearingly referred to as the “human Chanel”, has become synonymous with the iconic French brand, appearing in numerous campaigns and fashion shows. As the worldwide brand ambassador for Calvin Klein, she also created a limited-edition capsule collection for the brand. Kim recently made her runway debut, closing Jacquemus’ ‘La Casa’ cruise show in Capri, Italy.

Blackpink’s powerhouse dancer Lisa (Lalisa Manobal) has made significant strides as the global ambassador for Celine, starring in campaigns and walking the runway for the label. She has also been showing up in campaigns for Bulgari.

Rosé (Roseanne Park Chae-young), the group’s songbird, not to be outdone, was made the frontwoman of Tiffany & Co. and has partnered with Saint Laurent, bringing her cool, edgy style to the brand’s campaigns and runway shows. In fact, she often displays her close relationship with Saint Laurent creative director Anthony Vaccarello through her Instagram posts.

Completing the Blackpink quartet is Jisoo (Kim Ji-soo), who has become a muse for Dior, representing the brand with her classic beauty and sophisticated charm. She’s often on the roster for Dior’s haute couture shows, taking the front-row seats alongside the likes of Rosamund Pike, Jennifer Lopez, and Venus Williams.
