I like to post some updates on group activities or posts that I think are interesting!
ATEEZ:
ATEEZ FLIX: Fan-made website with cards that link to their corresponding websites! It includes YouTube, Lives, convention videos, radio segments, and TV show appearances
나라는 가수 (Moving Voices): Germany team, 2024-2025 airing, Hongjoong and Jongho participated; full compilation videos of their covers are linked on their names and here is their combined compilation! [Germany episode posts: 1, 1-3, 4, 5, TTL encore]
Felix's outfit is from the LV Women's Fall/Winter Collection, look #39
In the video, Felix mentions that the look is customized for him: the black long-sleeve is an additional element along with the runway outfit and much like previous appearances, his hair is still blonde and slicked back along the nape of his neck. The contrast between his hair and metals tends to be an important factor of LV's styling for Felix. (The pants and jacket have been altered to fit him better)
It's a striking look, and I think that was the point, since there was also no bag with this appearance. For a Cruise presentation, however, I do wish they leaned into it a bit more since the weather was cooperating and they could have pulled it off. Maybe in the summer (or Gov Ball, now that I'm thinking about it), Felix might appear with some of the items in his wardrobe.

2027 Cruise Notes:
The Louis Vuitton web page for this cruise collection features a leather-bound book with a depiction of Keith Haring's iconic figures etched onto the cover.
The presentation took place in NYC at the Frick Collection in upper Manhattan. The collection has been described as: "A contemporary memory. Within the timeless rooms of The Frick Collection, beauty and art transcend time in a quiet dialogue, while beyond its walls, New York City pulses with constant reinvention - a convergence of contrasts." as well as "A downtown wardrobe juxtaposed with an uptown setting, signatures of the American fashion lexicon, denim, leather, and jersey, evoke a youthful spirit in @nicolasghesquiere's collection anchoring the meticulous French craftsmanship with a casual ease.

Artistic Designer: Nicolas Ghesquière
A little bit of my liveblog when I watched the livestream:
6:05 The timed parade of cars for the invitees is something that I imagine is an assistants nightmare in Manhattan where the Frick Collection Museum is
6:10 Having the invitees stand in front of that LV logo is somehow doing well right now, I like it better than the last collection where the Louvre Pyramid was the backround because the foliage makes the white stand out, and so the people can have an identifiable photo for press
• Felix in black for once? It's interesting since he was in all white for the promotion photos on Instagram
6:20 It started raining here in NY and thundering, and amazingly LV got lucky that it's not raining in Manhattan as well
6:30 show starts
6:47 final walk-on
His outfit is definitely altered to fit him better, although the temperature was almost 90 degrees F, and they made him wear an all-black outfit with a high collar? I hope it was cotton and wool to at least be breathable.
STRAY KIDS' FELIX for Atïïssu's "DESERT COWBOY COLLECTION"
The full post can be found here
'DESERT COWBOY COLLECTION' WITH FELIX FULL FILM COMING APRIL 21
Set against endless desert horizons and searing heat, ATÏÏSSU unveils its new 'Desert Cowboy' campaign
This is the second part of the introduction to the campaign, part one can be found here
The styling is more grungy and very leather-based in order to coordinate with the hat, which to me is giving desert pirate. It's also telling that 2 of the photos have Felix's face hidden to focus on his body language and styling. It's vaguely threatening and very masculine, with the zipper left open to expose his abs in photo 4 and his hand on his right hip positioned as if resting on a gun holster [like a western movie!] in photo 1.
Right: buying limit poster (again, no price on the poster)
I went to another P1 pop-up by Hello82! I come to these to accompany my friend, and this time, to get her another of the pop-up exclusive PCs that one can only obtain by presenting a Billboard-approved streaming playlist to a specific staff member (I did this for the first time at the Ateez GH4 pop-up)
The line for the P1H pop-ups has moved much faster and shorter than ATEEZ so far. I was on line around half an hour before the doors opened, and I was in the building by 11:10, 10 minutes after opening. The process was also less streamlined because they did not employ a staff member to explain line policies or inform us about the above plyalist PC, although they did still have one tell us outside in line about the current buying limit.
The weather was much more favorable this time around, so the wait was not as insufferable. 😅
Promotional posters that decorated the wall above the cashiers: the scrapbook characteristic was fun
Left: Inside the building facing the other side of the window screens
Right: close-up of one of the screens
My Notes:
There was a notable distribution problem with the exclusive PCs in the albums that they provided: mostly with the high rates that the Keeho "finger bite" was getting pulled. (I can't believe that's a sentence I can say now) This may just be a batching issue, but the event I attended last month was not facing this problem in such an obvious way. I have learned from one of the other fans that exclusive cards are hidden in the photobook, while the regular cards are in the inclusion envelope, which will be handy for future album openings.
We also got a group picture postcard and member-specific ID card as the pop-up freebie! I do not have pictures since I handed them off to my friend, but they ended up being similar to one of the photobook album PC inclusions, which is interesting.
The photobook is also bound interestingly - it doesn't have a spine - and is apparently burst bound?
I have a general appreciation of P1H music for only the past year because of my friend, but I haven't tried to learn more about them because I was burdened by my surplus of media that I have yet to consume from TXT and Enhypen.

Felix Outfit Breakdown:
The bag is the Squire East West from the SS26 collection, currently $2400 USD.
His jewelry stack is mostly from the Color Blossom Sun and Star collection, in rose gold and yellow gold tones. They can be found here: necklace 1, necklace 2, and the bracelet. For his LV attendance, most of his jewelry is mostly gold, most likely to match the hardware on the bags or his jacket/sweater.
He has a fuzzy collar less jacket that is likely a short fur or shearling, and not boucle because it is brushed out and loose. The black jacket is what adds a formality to his outfit, which is rather plain - a white ribbed top and blue jeans with white leather shoes. The jacket also has different buttons, which is interesting because they're rather large and stark against the black material.
Because it's Felix for Vuitton, they always bleach his hair right before so that it's a fresh blonde color, but this time, it's toned more gray-blue so that it's more neutral. It's more striking in his first all-black outfit where it meets his shoulders and the shoulder seams of his jacket.
Notes:
As per a Louis Vuitton post about the set dressing: "The nature of Louis Vuitton. Within the Cour Carrée of the Musée du Louvre, production designer Jeremy Hindle devises a sculptural landscape for Nicolas Ghesquière's Fall-Winter 2026 Show. An abstraction suspended between past and future, the outside and in converge to portray a pastoral tableau, echoing the verdant valleys of founder Louis Vuitton's hometown in the Jura Mountains."
Due to this inspiration, the collection is much more structural with large, imposing silhouettes, curved woven wood headpieces, necklines with ruffles that stick outwards past the shoulders, and fur lining side seams.
Nicolas Ghesquière is currently the LV Creative Director for the Women's collections.

Look #55/63
Hyunjin's Outfit Breakdown:
His outfit is from the Winter 2026 collection, shown January 21, 2026
In comparison to other looks that walked down the runway, this is one of the muted ones in terms of silhouette, structure, fabric, and color. There's no doubt that Anderson was experimenting with Dior with this collection. But in the midst of that collection, this silhouette is sweeping and crisp.
In the Savoir-faire section of the collection page, the line is described as "Taut tailoring and exaggerated volumes elevated with rich embellishments, specially developed fabrics and plush shearling." And true to tailoring it is, with crisp lines of [likely cotton] poplin and tiny silver spherical buttons on the shirt and an ulster lapel, epaulets, and an elongated storm/gun flap going around the back to the right of the coat body.
Within the two Dior looks that Hyunjin has been styled in, classic is where they have settled for him. Where for Versace, he had dramatic prints, had his hair dyed in the brand's logo, and they played with a "cool guy" image, Dior wants a contrasting image. He has softer [literally] fabrics, more solid patterns, and statement pieces are restricted to lone pieces or smaller parts of his outfit. His beaded blue cardigan was the statement piece alongside the black loafers with white detailing. For this outfit, his green sunglasses and snakeprint loafers take the center stage after his sweeping brow wool coat.
Interestingly, after comparing photos from both shows, Hyunjin seems to be wearing the same dress shirt in both appearances, although in the runway photos, the shirt front is not visible because the original version was a pullover style and not a cardigan.
Jonathan Anderson is the sole Creative Director for Dior, and his appointment for the menswear was succeeded by the news 2 months later that he would also be CD for the womenswear and couture collections in 2025. Anderson also has his own fashion label, JW Anderson.
Held at: Tuileries Garden [Jardin des Tuileries]; this public garden connects the Louvre Museum and the Place de la Concorde.
To emulate the water lilies on the pond, the models walk along the catwalk on a bridge above the middle of the water in a collection that had floral prints, layered and gathered tulle to emulate fluffy petals, structured hems that flared out like the petals of bellflowers, and billowing fabrics with tiny pleats that shifted like a wide field of flowers.
No Versace appearances for this season from Hyunjin

The jacket he mentions is this one, a lambskin leather jacket with the signature braided detail on the collar and inside of the cuffs, called Intrecciato

Bottega Veneta website, 1, 2, 3, screenshot
I.N's Outfit Breakdown:
His outfit for the actual runway show and afterward when he wanders the streets doesn't seem to be up on the website or a part of past collections, but it does seem to have the same construction as jacket #1 but without the intrecciato detail for the collar. The jacket and pants also seem to be made of the same suede leather material!
All of the jackets have the same braided/woven leather detail as a focus point of both of the jackets. This acts as a subtle brand for their products because it is identifiable on sight and means that there is no need for a logo on a label or in hardware.
I.N also carries the same bag at the airport all the way to Italy when he is walking the streets that have the intrecciato front and back detail and letter charms. (The letters cost $490 USD each!!) He does a short Instagram live where he mentions that Felix bought him a large Bottega bag for his birthday, so maybe this bag is the gift? It had his initials as part of the bag, so it's definitely more customized that I would think if it's on loan from the brand. It is interesting that he doesn't bring the bag to the show, though, since it's a key item for the brand.
His later outfit, though, can be found as the wool melange "blouson" and "pants" in the color stone melange on the BV website. On the blouson, the collar and belt are made of a darker gray leather as a contrast. The blouson shoulder is constructed in a more rounded shape, which, on I.N, bulks his upper body so that the wide-fit of the pants doesn't overtake the outfit.
Notes:
As part of his branded styling at the airport, Bottega Veneta included a bag that had 2 braided leather letter charms that spelled out I and N for his stage name!
This is Louise Trotter's second collection since her appointment as Creative Director!

San's Outfit Breakdown:
He is wearing the S/S 2026 collection along with one of the branded singles underneath! The collection is called "Pyjama Boys, "blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor wear with surprising pairings that exude unexpected aesthetic harmony."
Here is a similar print to what he's wearing! The exact print is not up on the D&G website right now.
More apparant in videos and in sunlight, the set he wears has embroidery and beading applied to create little clusters that unfurl outwards from a central stone. Per the segment on it, "By evening, the pyjamas become precious, transforming into a refined yet relaxed statement, enriched by sparkling accessories, and bold contrasts of patterns, textures, and colors."
I like the simplicity of how it translates to viewers, even though it isn't technically simple. If the set was broken up with just the pants and a casual shirt in the summer, it would be pretty easy to look past it. But with the intentional fiber content creating a permanent crinkle, the beading and embroidery, this set is more than it might initially look.
Similar to how ATEEZ stylists give San outfits with drapey material when they want to soften his silhouette, this set does that affect as well. It moves away from his "Duke of the North" appearance with softer drapes, a baggier fit, and the oversized glasses are also used to soften his face.
Notes:
The title for this show is "Identity" and is heavily produced with Madonna in mind. Co-founders Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana greet Madonna at the end of the show, and that can be found here
The intention behind this collection can be found in this Instagram reel. [I have copied the subtitles for ease] "Dolce & Gabbana 'Identity' is a clear statement: identity is the ultimate luxury. This is not nostalgia. It is presence. A language built on roots that are still alive. Sicily as emotion, black as strength, lace as intimacy, tailoring as authority. A vision where femininity and masculinity are in constant dialogue, where the body is not hidden but affirmed. Dolce & Gabbana is sensuality, devotion, glamour, and craftsmanship merged into an aesthetic that is instantly recognizable because it comes from authenticity and passion. Dolce & Gabbana 'Identiy' is the story of remaining true to yourself."
Most of the above statement is straightforward, but as for Sicily, I can attribute this reference to their line of Sicily Eau de Parfum that has been relaunched October 2025 of their original 2003 fragrance. It is described as: "Originally launched in 2003 and created by Nathalie Lorson, this floral aldehydic fragrance is the embodiment of absolute femininity with its floral citrusy Calabrian bergamot opening and its voluptuous bouquet jasmine, honeysuckle and powdery heliotrope at the heart. A sensual base of sandalwood and white musks wrap the skin with a comforting, alluring trail, evoking the sun setting that caresses the sea." (per the D&G Beauty page)
A very heavily black and lace and leather-filled collection, it demonstrates what D&G has come to represent. Their few tailored pieces have dramatic waistlines, padded shoulders to complement the hips, and a wide fit to offset the formal tone of the suit in a contrasting pinstripe fabric. This collection is truly recognizable as D&G, and it will be fun to see how much they can push the men's collections in the future to make sure they are as memorable.

This will be a compilation of all the pieces I can find from his visit to the Gucci Milano location and the runway presentation
For the life of me, I couldn't find his blazer/jacket, but for Gucci, most of those jackets are single-breasted, have a notch lapel, 2 front welted pockets, and a viscose lining for the body and cupro for the sleeve lining
All of the outerwear is oversized, especially the white and black wool coat and the leather jacket, which are noted to run large. The 1st and 2nd coats are paired vertically with the bags that he is posing with. (I love the leather jacket and leather duffle combination! He usually doesn't get styled like this, so I'll take what I can get) Outfit #3 is what he also wore to the after party!
His bag is the Jackie 1961 crocodile medium shoulder bag, and it is part of one of the collection's character's outfits. This bag is in the "Ragazza" look.
Jewelry: Likely due to the fact that he had his ears pierced relatively recently, he had no brand earrings.
Again, similar to Chan's appearance, the bag takes center stage as part of the designer's debut collection. And for Fendi and Gucci, one of their iconic items, are their bags, especially the ones that are highlighted by their brand ambassadors.

Notes:
This is Demna Gvasalia, the current Creative Director's first collection since his appointment last March in 2025
This collection, "La Famiglia," is divided into characters who represent "one of the many personas of La Famiglia." La Ragazza is, in contrast, more casual compared to other characters like L'Influencer and La Bomba, which follow this character.
This is I.N's first stop in Italy before the Bottega Veneta show! On top of their Belle Époque collection - that I.N wears frequently - they have recently released 2 new collections: Mimosa and Margherita.
His outfit: It moves and looks like silk satin, but the sheen it has in different lighting seems to show a slight slub to the fabric, which leads me and other fans into believing that it is velvet.

Note: The brooch pinned to his jacket is made using the flower motif from the Margherita collection! There are no brooches in the collection online, but on this Damiani post, it is described as "a magnificent white and pink gold brooch with a stunning central oval-cut tourmaline, surrounded by a crown of tourmalines and brown diamonds"
Me: I originally thought this brooch was custom-made, but the caption above says otherwise, so I believe it may be only available in-store
Tourmaline- gemstone that can come in multiple colors, a Mohs hardness of 7-7.5, and the October gemstone!

Wooyoung's Outfit Breakdown:
His outfit is from the S/S 2026 collection, titled "A Change of Tone"
Due to a difference in proportions between Wooyoung and the runway model, the trousers and jacket fit more standard on Wooyoung. The sleeves hit his wrist, and the pant inseam is just right for him, even with the boots on.
No bag, though, which is interesting because he did have a Prada suede bag for his airport outfit. Because this is his first appearance for the brand, they may be testing the potential for a future relationship for later seasons
It's an interesting choice, too, to outfit him in one of their more experimental looks, especially for one of the people that they dress as part of marketing the show. The entire collection overall is bright and uses a lot of color blocking in place of busy patterns and is definitely not conventional. It's fun, though, to see how Wooyoung pulls off the colors and really utilizes his jacket to really pull the outfit together. He keeps it closed, and due to the oversized fit on him, he can blend the green and blue of his pants and sweater with his jacket. (His past looks have also been all-black, so this is definitely a step outside his comfort zone)
His makeup also captures the essence of what the Prada Beauty department was trying to convey. "Lynsey Alexander, Global Creative Make-Up Artist of Prada Beauty, aimed to capture the essence of a natural, radiant glow—skin that breathes and truly shines, reflecting the vitality and ease of the warmer months" (per the SS26 Prada page)

Wooyoung with Miuccia Prada
Notes:
Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons are co-Creative Directors for Prada
Prada collections are divided by menswear and womenswear; the menswear collection was released earlier this year in January
Held at: Deposito of the Fondazione Prada (It is an exhibition space that was formerly a laboratory)
The runway was set up so that their 15 models would cycle, shedding their layers as the show went on. Each model had 4 looks each, and the layering revealed plenty of sheer one-pieces, gathered waistlines, and peeks of longer hems underneath shorter outerwear.
*DISCLAIMER* I am not claiming to be an expert in any sort of way; I am an enthusiast who has sewing and patterning experience. I do not have personal knowledge of specific details that I can not search for online. I do this for fun, so my general commentary will be lighthearted as well.
Note: Chan mentions that this will be the first collection from Maria Grazia Chiuri (This is Chiuri's return to Fendi after leaving Dior in 2025)
Chan's Outfit Breakdown:
Credit: WWD, Giovanni Giononni
Look #3
Blazer, poplin shirt, and trousers: The blazer and shirt have an oversized fit while the pants are slim-fit. The collars are also different; the blazer has a pointed [notched] lapel while the shirt underneath has a banded collar - although they have the top button undone to keep the eye traveling downwards. The trousers seem to have an attachment that is wrapped around one side of the body, but without photos without the blazer, I can not be sure about the function or aesthetic purpose it holds.
Due to the difference in proportions, the stylists needed to alter the sleeve length for Chan. Similar to last season, when they opted to bunch it near his elbow, they shortened the overall length by folding over the sleeve cuff over the blazer's sleeve ends. (This also preserves this garment better than a simple sleeve shortening because it is loaned for this event) This sleeve cuff is also left free and unbuttoned, which lends a more casual and informal touch.
Baguette® 26424 Bag: It is an iteration of their staple Baguette bags that have been a focus for their [returning] Creative Officer, Maria Chiuri, which is now on pre-order.
Overall, this is a toned-down look in order to put focus on the bag, which is a revamp of a popular style from Fendi. The styling still has traces of tailoring from the vertical pintucks on the shirt and the notched lapel but adds relaxed elements that break it up. The bag, sunglasses, and details like the sleeve cuffs and shirt collar break the formal tone that the garments hold.
Maria Grazia Chiuri has returned to Fendi as their Chief Creative Officer since her farewell in 1999
This show is titled/sloganed "Meno io più noi" or "Less I [Me] More Us," which sums up her approach to her reset for the brand. Aware of the Fendi sister's legacy and the House's origins, fur and leather are scattered throughout the collection. From there, Chiuri acknowledges the Ready-to-Wear aspect of the collection, blurring the components between different genders to create "A shared wardrobe" and focus on the wearability of the garments themselves.
I'm looking forward to the next season to see Maria Chiuri's ideas now that she has space to expand her ideas and cement her new legacy for the brand. As for Chan, I don't mind seeing more tailored fits on him because a lot of their on-stage outfits are casual and made for performances outside of their red carpet looks.
