'Star of Dragon Year', G-Dragon is the 'Style Icon' of 2012

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

In the year of Black Dragon (according to the Chinese Calendar), we want to know which star can be crowned as the 'fashionista' of the year and only Big Bang 's G-Dragon can live up to the title.

In fact, in 2008, G-Dragon was selected as the 3rd in  'A Design Award and Competition' and he was the youngest male artist who won the award in this competition. Moreover, he has also been selected as one of the top 10 in the section of  'Style Icons' which attracts much attention from the public. Furthermore, when he was carrying out his solo activities in 2009, the famous brand 'Louis Vuitton' also sponsored him but not other Hollywood stars. We can see how great G-Dragon's influence is here.

▲ Choosing the right pattern and vivid colours

It is not easy to give one single definition to G-Dragon's fashion style.

His fashion style can be called 'Rock Chic' Style since he wears school uniforms as part of his customes which brings us a tinge of 'prepeppy' look. Nevertheless, if it is to say that there is a priniciple which govens the fashion style of G-Dragon, we can say that it is his courage of mix and match the colours and patterns.

In addition, without bonding to the typical way of wearing clothes, he likes matching a jacket with classic checker pattern and a tie. Together with a pair of white sunglasses of rock chic style and metallic jewelry, it brings out a nice mix and match effect. 

Another strength of G-Dragon's fashion style is that he has the ability to blur the distinction between men and women.

The fact that G-Dragon has a collection of women's wear has attracted attention from the public; however, it is the unique style of him and he even has the ability to wear women's wear well.

▲Hats, sunglasses, scarves,  etc.,making use of these small items is the key of perfecting the style

The optimum utilization of various small items is one of the most important techniques in creating G-Dragon's style.  All of these items like sunglasses, glasses, hats and scaves are well managed by him to address the shortcomings of having a relatively tiny body. In fact. using assesseries well is a good way to make a relatively tiny person to look bigger.

There is no specific rule for G-Dragon to match the colours and materials of the assessories to his clothes, It can be called 'the style of G-Dragon'. In one situation, he was wearing a T-shirt of Marc Jacobs Collection, a blue belt, a red leather bracelet and a matching hat. The whole look gives out a feeling of Hopi which is very eye-catching.

However, as a gifted fashionista, G-Dragon keeps less than 3 kinds of accessories on his body.

It is the way how G-Dragon creates his very unique fashion style.

I don't like his style tbh.

He dresses well enough most of the time, but I'm convinced that he was chosen as this year's fashionista mostly due to the fact that his name is G-Dragon and that this year is the year of the Dragon O_O

[fairchilds.livejournal.com]

he's also born in the Year of the Dragon. it's going to be a big year for him imo

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I think his real name Ji Yong means dragon too... not sure though

[breakinglocks.livejournal.com]

He has his own style which is notable.
I like most of his outfits because they're different but some are just wrong.

[stormsandsins.livejournal.com]

MTE. Like, the pictures in the article aren't some of his best choices (right patterns & vivid colours...)

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

With the amount of money and style options at his disposal, honestly he's not so great. Not bad but nothing to write home about.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Indeed

lately I feel GD has been missing the mark style wise.

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

I guess I'm the only one who still loves his style. Especially last year.

[fairchilds.livejournal.com]

can't wait for Big Bang to come back this year. It's the year of the Dragon and they have not one, but two dragons in the group (Taeyang and GD), crossing my fingers for them and imma gonna check out the forecast for them this year but I'm sure it'll be good.

Also I love his style most of the time, even the kilt last year! I just didn't like the baggy suit that he used for the Love Song promotions. A suit should always be fitted.

[eishastan.livejournal.com]

LoL i agree!

[x-urbia.livejournal.com]

IA! <3

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

I really like his style but I prefer a man like TOP style wise good suits and a gentlemanly air.

ia completely

Same. I like some of GD's choices but he's a bit too wild sometimes for me. Like, the kilt. Don't get me wrong I like me some men in kilt (my first solo trip was to Scotland and ooooooh I was looking everywhere for kilted hotties!) but... manly men... and let's be honest, GD is... not exactly a flower boy but he's too pretty imo to pull off the kilt without it just looking like a skirt. It just looked weird imo.

I think TOP wore a "half-kilt" during perfs and I only realised it like... a month ago. He wore it so well I never noticed.

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think it's cool GD takes risks I do prefer the classic look. I think GD wants to wear runway outfits as regular wear.

[stormsandsins.livejournal.com]

I do prefer the classier look myself :)

[geniebsmart.livejournal.com]

Yay Dragons

[stormsandsins.livejournal.com]

1988:
More rooted in the ground, Earth Dragons make better decisions because they act more rationally. Earth Dragons are level-headed and able to control their behaviors. They’re more supportive of others, but they prefer being admired by others.

I think that's about right :)

[hugtimes.livejournal.com]

well, i knew that kyuhyun wasn't going to get it.
i like g-dragon's style, he looks really good most of the time.

[gunsandsmoke.livejournal.com]

my favorite gd style period is when he was rockin those the o.c. mischa barton/UO headbands tbh.....

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

He's a bold mofo who'll wear just about anything tbh.

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

like even he wears the most redonkulous things, ppl will still think its ~kewl and will want to copy it.

[deeinanutshell.livejournal.com]

I think that's the most important part of his style: his confidence

[sayakota.livejournal.com]

and rock it.

[stesabsea.livejournal.com]

Here for the triple dragon reference! I do appreciate that GD is bold in his clothing choices though. I wonder who else, born in the dragon year, could have been considered for this title.

[yolleh.livejournal.com]

While his style isn't for everyone (and it never will be), I think we have to admire how daring he is.

[chewmi.livejournal.com]

he has great style everyone should praise him.

[sayakota.livejournal.com]

he deserves to win this because he wears things in a way that convinces people they're fashionable, even though most others wouldn't be able to pull such a stunt. He's a trendsetter with balls and I fucking love him for it. Hope this years turns out fab for him.

I'll be waiting for Key to be declared style icon at some point too, basically for the same reasons as mentioned above.

[taylorniw.livejournal.com]

I didn't know that picking out your clothes in the dark was fashionable. I feel like everything he wears is just a cry for attention.

[wintersol.livejournal.com]

All of these items like sunglasses, glasses, hats and scaves are well managed by him to address the shortcomings of having a relatively tiny body.

idk about all of you, but lol'd

[saphbluedreams.livejournal.com]

OMG for once someone is not ghostly white with bb cream. His hands are actually more pale than his face.

[chloe1910.livejournal.com]

Well, he is indeed fashionable but his style is not my cup of tea.

[deeinanutshell.livejournal.com]

G-dragon style is indescribable. So perfect in many ways.
Korean celebrities tend to be so conservative with their style and it's so matchy matchy and predictable. Yeah it looks nice but that's not what fashion is about.

[gumiho.livejournal.com]

i have a love/hate relationship with his outfits, but he obviously has style.

[dotdotdotting.livejournal.com]

He's a fashionable guy I'll give him that but sometimes his outfits look so tacky IMO.
