Global fashion icon G-DRAGON once again proved why he remains one of the most influential figures in luxury fashion.
The BIGBANG star and longtime Chanel ambassador attended the Chanel 2026 Métiers d’Art Collection showcase, capturing all eyes with his signature charisma and bold styling.
A Look That Balances Edge and Elegance
At the show, held on December 3 (KST), G-DRAGON appeared in:
- A classic Chanel jacket
- A sleek pullover
- A leather belt that added definition to the silhouette
- Sunglasses and sparkling rings that completed his distinctive high-fashion look
The combination created an effortlessly powerful ensemble — understated yet commanding — perfectly aligning with GD’s reputation as a trendsetter.
A Collection Inspired by New York’s Underground
This year’s Métiers d’Art line was crafted under the direction of Artistic Director Mathieu Blazy, who drew inspiration from the New York subway.
The collection captured:
- The city’s energy and vibrant personalities
- A cinematic interpretation of urban movement
- Chanel’s signature craftsmanship blended with fresh storytelling
Details such as leopard tweed, wool bouclé, and intricate embroidery highlighted the Maison’s artisanal expertise.
The show also paid homage to Coco Chanel’s moments of inspiration in New York, bridging the spirit of Paris and New York through a modern reinterpretation of Chanel’s subculture aesthetic.

Editor’s Insight
G-DRAGON’s appearance at the Chanel 2026 Métiers d’Art show in New York (held on December 2, 2025) wasn’t just a front-row cameo; it was a masterclass in how to anchor a brand’s new era. As Matthieu Blazy stepped into the role of Artistic Director, he chose the gritty, cinematic backdrop of the New York subway to debut his first Métiers d’Art collection—and GD was the perfect personification of that “urban-meets-couture” vision.
While many ambassadors simply wear the clothes, G-DRAGON “GD-ified” his ensemble (Look 26 from the SS26 collection) by layering $20,000 worth of accessories, including high-end 18K gold rings and custom nail art. In the 2026 fashion world, where brands are desperate to bridge the gap between street subculture and luxury heritage, G-DRAGON remains the ultimate bridge.
