From leading catwalk shows to making waves with their street-fashion looks, K-pop stars made their presence known at New York Fashion Week (NYFW)’s spring/summer 2023 edition.
The event, which took place in New York from September 9 to 14, saw the likes of NCT Dream’s Jeno, Twice’s Dahyun, Red Velvet’s Seulgi, iKon’s DK and others hit up the Big Apple’s fashion scene.
The most significant moment took place on September 13, when 22-year-old Jeno (Lee Je-no) made history as the first K-pop star to be the opening model for an NYFW collection, fronting Peter Do’s spring/summer 2023 line.
Jeno’s appearance was part of a collaboration between Do and South Korean entertainment company SM Entertainment. Jeno was joined on the catwalk by two of SM’s male trainees, Shohei and Eunseok, as they showcased the largely monochromatic collection.
“It was a natural choice to have Jeno open the show,” read a statement from Do.
