As a person who works in design industry, everything about XG’s creativity and direction always WOW and blew me away, and what crazy is XG made me feel so inspired and got this passion for fashion back again after i kindda dropped those feelings and interests for longtime since Covid.
The thing with XG is that they dont give a fuck about personal image when its about fashion, look at Jurin's everyday clothes, she is into edge street style, things that we never saw in idols or groups because the companies are afraid of damaging the idol "image" with weird stuff, the only group that did edge thing in this department was BIGBANG and thas why they are considered fashion icons in Asia. Thats whats make XG freaking cool.
XG and AESPA styling is just truly insane and just different from everyone else. They to me are in a league of their own and not the same ol' same ol' play it safe. XG literally looks bada$$ in anything they just have that much natural charisma
mingi praise is always welcomed !! and yes ur so right ateez’s styling is far from boring i am soso in love w most of their stage outfits, especially deja vu or say my name era
youre totally right,, the white backdrop combined with xg's white puppet show outfits kind of washes them out! for some reason i think an ombre neon purple and green reflective backdrop would look sooo much better and also create some really cool visual interest(at least something other than the flat white lol). I differ from you because I really like the way the lighting is shot(in the member's individual photos): It kind of seems like a hologram? and the way it flattens their faces, when the shots are upclose/solely showing a single or a few members at once, really works for me and i have no clue why lmao
I’m not a kpop/jpop fan, I exclusively listen to XG as a hip hop/rnb genre listener. Grew up in the 90s/00s in the US. I can confidently say that XG is attracting more than just kpop fans. As for styling, let’s not forget that Tokyo/Japan is one of the fashion capitals of the world so it’s evident that this group is fashion forward. Their creative direction is not for the basic mind.
Xg somehow reminds me of 2ne1 in term of uniqueness. They are truly getting real quirky with their style in order to embody the concept they are going for. A lot of kpop doesnt do that anymore because they dont wanna look unflattering and still want to play with the face card, which i feel like limits their creativity. I miss the over the top concept like xg does and they arent afraid to express themselves in it. Not to mention they have quite knowledge about 90s-00s hiphop n rnb music which just adds even more interesting point in my eyes❤
im literally in love with xg's style and outfits, i love the colourful vibe and creativity, it feels like y2k but not y2k at the same time, its a mix of y2k, cybercore-ish, colours and creativity and i love it sm!! i want to marry their style
Ateez been living on real life anime or video games with their outfits they always look so good and incredible. KQ Stylist and stage designers are on top and feels like they bring you to another world
Tinytown is going wild, next Ateez comeback will be linked to Alice in Wonderland and we all trying to figure out how they will look. I mean we try our best but they always delivery more, so I am excited to the visual concept. Did you see the other pictures from that magazine?
no bc i remember watching the 'ive summer' video & wishing they saved it for a future concept. imagine my shock seeing their recent concept photos & music videos. it's exactly what i wanted for them & i think it makes sense for them to go in this direction. +petra collins you will always be famous, we need her to photograph them!
XG's fashion choices aren't always good or conventionally attractive, but it grabs your attention and gives you something to talk about. That's the best type of fashion/art in general imo. That's why I love groups like Ateez, Nmixx, etc., not only for their fashion, but for their uniqueness and ability to tell a story (chaotic or not lmao).
xg’s styling is someothing very different and needed in the kpop scene (even if you don’t consider xg kpop, i think the point is that they aren’t meant to limited to just one genre of music).
I agree about xg! their outfits, especially alien-inspired, are just fire! I like their style in tgif the most too ✌️ like wow, I want to look like that every day
I love ive’s new era. don’t get me wrong, I thought love dive and I am were some of the best things to ever come from a girl group, but this new era has come in and topped both of those for me already. song wise, either way is the best I’ve ever heard from them. I really love off the record as well. and as you said, styling wise it’s nothing too impressive. EXCEPT those makeup looks from either way, quite possibly the best makeup I’ve ever seen from a girl group. I’m obsessed. on another note, I am fully convinced that ateez has the best stylists in the industry of all time. I think what makes them shine for me is the way that every member of ateez has a pretty unique body type, and yet their stylists are never lazy, always coming up with something very interesting that will suit each member individually. everyone say thank you kq 🙏 finally, I’m so ready for the styling we’re going to get from txt’s freefall. this comeback will be one for the history books, I think!
YES YES YES!!! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN my Giselle getting her flowers.. Like notice how she Eats every time they put her in clothes that fits her and her body type.. Instead of the ugly outfits of spicy era this time the stylist did her justice and she absolutely owned it
I think she actually looked cool during spicy era though. it felt like the mv and styling took inspiration from mean girls' characters/atmosphere/style, and each of the members was styled to resemble/remind of a certain main character and what they typically wore in the movie. karina was regina, the most bright and confident in styling, with a biiiit of an edge, + obvious blonde hair. ningning was karen, her style had sexy elements like cheetah print and short clothes, but also childish and girly elements like bows and pigtails. winter was gretchen, styled with darker and milder stuff, mature and kinda serious, but not edgy or overly sexy. and giselle was like a mix of cady and janis, so the styling was edgy, more down to earth, more creative in a "high schooler gets creative" way, with a tiny hint of sexiness. and from all members giselle is the one who usually has the most edgy/alt-looking style and aura, so that fit. maybe it looked more all over the place compared to other members, especially the blue hair, but that's what one gets when morphing two different characters in one style. 🤷♀️ but I think she looked good, and especially in the white and pink sporty outfit that everyone was pissed about, she was mothering, giving strong 2nd gen vibes, like she legit looked like a girls generation member!! if someone told me that she was gonna perform a cover of "oh!" by girls generation on that stage, I would believe them cuz it fit so well. anyways I'm just such a huge fan of both aespa and mean girls, that spicy era and styling made me soooooo happy!! 😅 I hope you get what I mean ✌️
- the xg all white outfits on a black background would have been FIRE - mingi and hongjoong for the alterd state still hs me going because omg they look SO GOOD - ive's either way makeup (the plant inspired one) is the right amount of subtle but still catching to the eye i really like it its p r e t t y
i gotta say for me peraonally. ugly styling is when all the group members look the same and come off as pretty average...not to say average is ugly but these are idol thus arnt average people so why are we styling them that way? music is art and that includes concepts and styling. i would personally rank ugly styiling to how much the styling corrilates to the concept and if it serves the pourpse there going for so in all words great video my dude
I personally feel like at a certain point NCT or æspa has to be dressed in some Mugler. The clothing just looks how their music sounds. It is a match made in heaven.
Ummm what did i sayyyy?!?!?!! DRAMA was LITERALLY MUGLER CODED. I DIDN'T LIE!!!!! I WAS SO RIGHT?!??? I LOVE BEING WRITE!! LIKE NOT EVEN THE CLOTHES BUT THOSE SCENES FROM THE MV!!!!
there's a reason why ateez has A T E in their name. Their styling from nugu era was also just as great as now despite the limited budget. Perks of being a gay punk ass grp ✨
While it fits the music, other than Wonyoung going *BLONDE* (we didn't talk about it enough) in Either Way, all of IVE's styling this era has been so far just ok/aesthetically pleasing, but nothing really outstanding specially compares to their previous eras. We'll see with Baddie. But I do appreciate IVE branching out into different things unlike others who could give some more variety....
I know I’ve commented this before but it’s so cool to me how you’re still able to showcase your personality without using your real voice. Like, I actually laugh OUT loud at your sense of humor 😭likeeee I really giggle and kick my meet yk. Also, I can TELL who your biases are, you were so shameless with it & you’re so real…like damn, a mingi girl? I shouldve known. Also! I agrée i feel like the new IVE will take a minute to sink in and get used to, but in a way I feel like it was perfect for a last quarter of the year release. This EP feels cozy, perfect for fall/winter. Very chill. Either way has such a strong message and I think maybe that’s why it really stuck with me, it was very clear that it was their response to the hate they’ve been getting since debut and I’m glad they could channel it into a good song. Baddie drops today I think? I hope I remember to come back and give my thoughts. But yeah! I loved this video xx
One of my recent faves is Yujin's outfit from Off The Record mv with baggy jeans and white button down... I've never seen any kpop girl wearing this style, like at all... ps she did it for the lesbians I'm sure lol
idk if you've seen them, but gentle monster recently came out with these sunglasses in collaboration with overwatch & i am BEGGING xg to wear them on a stage like just once & i'll be happy
I personally love IVES New Era, especially off the record, The track sounds very akin to something BILLIE would release, which by no means is a bad thing. While I do love IVE for being unapologetically glamorous and posh in the past, I am very fond of this more chill and laid-back concept they've given us. I love that they're giving us something different. Not everything has to be over the top and glamorous. Sometimes a song's job is to just be vibey, which I think off the record delivers perfectly. That being said, I still think LOVE DIVE has given us the best concept so far and nothing can compare to the music and the outfits, However, I am very content with off the records existence.
I think NewJeans’ Super Shy superhero/school girls looks (not the ones they wear at the beginning, the gold spandex tops and skirts) are godawful. I get the idea, but I think it looks horrible on them and I hate skin color clothing, especially when it’s tight on the figure, because it looks like they are trying to go nude. I don’t think it fit the concept. I was also puzzled by the NewJeans (the song) outfits, not because they were ugly nor bad, they just had flip flops, which look ok in the MV, but during dancing (which that song doesn’t have much of) that makes me feel sad, because they had to hold them shoes on for dear life. I also hated the jelly shoes they had in Cool With You, because I feel they looked out of place. I think dancer shoes, those shoes that look like slippers would have worked better or just went with socks fully (that’s a little crazy, but I don’t mind a cool idea that’s a bit odd). But at least they are wearing clothing appropriate for the members (as in things that aren’t overly sexualizing them. I definitely like the OMG, Hype Boy, and Ditto eras outfits more, since they really have such a great look I like). I also like the outfit Natty wore in Kiss Of Life’s Shh MV, with the fuzzy boots and shorts (I think they all looked great, though Haneul got a outfit that’s been overused, but loved her pigtails). And I liked Julie’s jacket dress combo in Kitty Cat. It’s simple, but I also like oversized jackets and mixing party looks with comfy looks. I definitely think they made some of the best MVs this year and I’m so happy how they all got a solo on the first mini album (take notes YG, you lazy hacks).
@@mariri725 Yeah, like the outfits when they look over the city were ok, but then it was like wrestling attire under a school skirt and it just looks horrible, especially against the pretty backdrop.
All of the apparel XG wears are top of the line apparel companies. As for the styling and editing, there are other well known model shoots that have done the same techniques for various magazines.
i absolutely LOVEEE IVE's new stuff. i've been obsessed with the two songs and i'm living for this new concept that they're on. it's fun and care-free but not in a kitsch type of way. i'm not very focused on the styling in this era, but they always look good! they're branching out to these newer concepts without sacrificing the quality of their sound and identity which is really really impressive.
for me the new ive songs are my favorite, specially OTR, idk why I like them so much. I feel they have the hunting singing style they had in love dive, which i missed. I feel that's so IVE, like they sound like sirens. I do agree that the styling was underwhelming, I could get it for either way, cuz the song is more emotional. But in Off the Record, they couldve done a lil bit more!!!! OTR gaeul LOOKS SO GOOD OMG, she was not my bias but man... I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT HER THERE !
i think off the record's styling was a mix of both mundane and fantastical elements, if you get what i mean? like gaeul with that veil on her cap, yujin with a hoodie on a sequin dress, rei in that very fairy like attire. i personally loved both either way and off the record! usually don't enjoy ballads but IVE never misses ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@etherealstrawberry9873 OMG I FANGIRLED SO MUCH FOR GAEUL, literally my bias are wony and liz but now i dunno. I want to dress like gaeul and her makeup and everything in that video is perfection!
Off the Record was such a balanced performance. Legit everyone stood out to me throughout the whole MV. Yet still, Gaeul was probably the most captivating, the grungy outfit contrasting with the veil, her bow during the bridge, her tossing the veil in one of her final scenes. Immaculate.
tbh im kinda confused w/ the direction ive is going in, dont get me wrong it's good to branch out but i feel like they have no artist identity. it really shocks me because starship does an excellent job at establishing & maintaining their groups' identity & as soon as you hear the names of their groups there's immediately a concept that comes to mind. (ex: wjsn = cosmic, sistar = summer) while w/ ive the spaghetti isnt really sticking to the wall 🤷♀️
ive as a group have an identity, the only thing is it’s not been solidified enough compared to other girl groups, ive’s whole identity has been elegance/royalty and narcissism(which are extremely versatile) since debut
IVE’s entire concept is ‘I HAVE’, they are meant to constantly change and show new things. If you think about it, all their titles so far have been different from one another, they never really do the same thing twice. The only thing keeping them together is the elegant & feminine way they do it. Fans call it a ‘royal’ identity. Their are meant to always change and do something new. ‘SHOW WHAT I HAVE’ ‘HAVE WHAT WE WANT’ are both phrases they use continuously as well as the ‘I’ve’ idea for their projects.
@@2yj1stfan i thought they were going for a royalty/elegant concept but after like is disco & im not sure what box the new era falls under since its not fully out yet but it's not really the posh sound in eleven or love dive 🤷♀️
I love that XG is doing their on thing with styles and I never get the idea that they are told to dress that way and they are just doing for that reason. They seem fully engaged with it.XG, taking no L’s and giving no F’s.
I honestly don't like new ive era, their royal princesses concept was really unique and good. I was most excited for otr too but it sounded like their old b sides, I expected it to be more like la vien rose+love dive but it was very different from concept photos, at first I didn't like either way too but now I think it's a song I'd listen to after having a long day, I think I'll get used to otr too but it isn't a song I'd listen to by myself, it's more like cupid by fifty fifty. Anyways I was excited for baddie but it sounds like classic+hypnosis, which is good ofc but it sounds used and I don't really like demonic signs used in mv. I really miss their old concept and I hope they get back to it asap
since we haven't talked abt styling within kpop for the past 6-ish months, here's a list of my best/worst styling over the past 6 months queencard was y2k mcbling done right. soyeon's matching safety shorts will go down in history spicy was y2k mcbling done wrong, there's so much fun the stylists didn't have. same with kep1er's 'giddy'. a song abt the exitement of love w/ a lot of kitty imagery & we're wearing denim? it came out almost a year ago, but im still upset abt skz's 'case 143'. where is the pink? where are the hearts? i get the police uniforms. but this era could've been so fun & so bright like
1:26 how are these objectively ugly, like I get subjectively ugly but when you say objective do you mean as in they break the rules of fashion or aesthetic? Which would make them appealing to the general public
I think most people would agree that the outfits look mismatched and “weird”, which is why I say they’re objectively “ugly”, I think our eyes definitely prefer symmetry and a pleasing color palette which is why I think some things can absolutely be objectively ugly
I read online Somewhere about IVE and the whole concept of the albums being color modes (we just got out of RGB+White and now we are starting the Magenta in CMYK). It’s definitely something different IVE is going for, it reminds me of something spoken of in Graphic Design class last week. When working in RGB color mode and you print in CMYK, the colors don’t translate well (if at all). We saw IVE’s RGB, the big electronic screen of color. Rei can have a vase fall on her head and Wonyoung can jump off a plane. Something that we can look at on a screen, but can’t really “touch”. Now we are in the CMYK Era, a lot more… real-life outfits. It’s now a drastic jump from the pristine web colors we were used to, like seeing the finest computer screen and then jumping straight to a newspaper. Maybe it’s just because I work for a newspaper irl but Ngl I love their styling for this era, it’s less a performance costume and something I could legit see someone around my town wear. It’s probably the only parasocial bone in my body, but I love an outfit that looks attainable. Also I greatly dislike wearing hats personally, but seeing Liz rock the hats in Either Way and Off The Record is making me feel emotions 😍
“I’m curious to see what Baddie is all about. I mean, with a title like that, it can’t be anything too understated and boring, right?” meanwhile, the (pretty but not at all kitsch) styling in Kitsch:
frrr like one of their videos popped up in my recommended and I literally started watching thinking it was aja's new video, because the thumbnail game was the same and overall style was very similar.... i was watching and was like huh, something seems not right, before I've heard them praise lrfm, then I had to do a double take at the channel name 💀
@@nctiddy Everyone has a different opinion on something therefore it cant be bad, its subjective. You can like mainstream, simple stuff but don’t disrespect people who have a vision and are willing to execute it.
you take it too personal, art (including) fashion is meant to be critiqued and always has been, also nothing I’m saying is meant to be disrespectful I love fashion so much I spent a lot of time researching so my opinions come from a place of wanting to see groups do the best they can to make a concept come to life
@@pigeondance strange isnt the issue. Some of them are okay. They make them wear the ugliest things lol. Check the last video and look at Cocona's legs. Weird and ugly AF. What are those socks ?
do we love or hate the new IVE era because I’m not yet used to it…
didn't rlly vibe w either way, but i'm excited for baddie
oh and i thought off the record was alr
the concept is visually so nice, the songs are nice but I think baddie is gonna be way more memorable.
I LOVED either way and off the record tbh
i think it’s really interesting ! imo it’s a shift away from their typical elegant concept but i’m v fine w that, v excited for baddie tho !!
I always loved xg’s styling and creative direction like it’s not something everyone would like but the ppl who do go crazy about it !!!!
it’s always something I look forward to whenever they release music
I love xg styling because they ain't following trends
im obsessed w it.. the JPG and chet lo.. i love their maximalism so much
It’s very camp and they pull it off sooo well like other groups can’t do it without being bashed
And they dress the same way when they’re going out or not busy with scheduling too
As a person who works in design industry, everything about XG’s creativity and direction always WOW and blew me away, and what crazy is XG made me feel so inspired and got this passion for fashion back again after i kindda dropped those feelings and interests for longtime since Covid.
Oh I feel you!!! Felt the same way the first time I saw shooting star
NCT and Ateez the only 2 bg with good consistent styling. Im in love with XG styling and whole concept!
yupppp!
SO REAL
The thing with XG is that they dont give a fuck about personal image when its about fashion, look at Jurin's everyday clothes, she is into edge street style, things that we never saw in idols or groups because the companies are afraid of damaging the idol "image" with weird stuff, the only group that did edge thing in this department was BIGBANG and thas why they are considered fashion icons in Asia.

mingi praise is always welcomed !! and yes ur so right ateez’s styling is far from boring i am soso in love w most of their stage outfits, especially deja vu or say my name era
personal favorite ateez styling has to be Guerilla and wonderland!!
every era is so good in their own way…for me, halazia is probably the best styling moment in the history of this industry
youre totally right,, the white backdrop combined with xg's white puppet show outfits kind of washes them out! for some reason i think an ombre neon purple and green reflective backdrop would look sooo much better and also create some really cool visual interest(at least something other than the flat white lol).

yess I like that idea of the purple green ombré backdrop instead of the plain white one

I think she actually looked cool during spicy era though.
it felt like the mv and styling took inspiration from mean girls' characters/atmosphere/style, and each of the members was styled to resemble/remind of a certain main character and what they typically wore in the movie.

i can't stop thinking about how good aespa's styling was

ooooh the altered magazine photoshoot ateez recently just had? OMYFUCKINGOD IT IS PERFECT!
I gasped🫡
there's a reason why ateez has A T E in their name. Their styling from nugu era was also just as great as now despite the limited budget. Perks of being a gay punk ass grp ✨
"....gay punk ass grp" lmao you couldn't have said it any better 😂😂
Nct 127 being so hit or miss makes me check out every comeback 😅
right lmaoo
Help the mingi comments are so reallll

Baddie drops today I think? I hope I remember to come back and give my thoughts. But yeah! I loved this video xx
One of my recent faves is Yujin's outfit from Off The Record mv with baggy jeans and white button down... I've never seen any kpop girl wearing this style, like at all...
ps she did it for the lesbians I'm sure lol
omg i wish we got a better shot of that because that was the best look in the entire mv
Yujin is so lesbian coded this era it’s crazy lol
i've been saying the entire time that this comeback (+ ive's discography) is so sapphic coded but no one gets me 😔
no bc mingi modeling contract when????? he makes any outfit looks good!!
fun fact: xg & yena have the same stylist!
Oh so THATS why they both serve every time good to know
woooah honestly bless that stylist
I saw mingi, I clicked ❤
idk if you've seen them, but gentle monster recently came out with these sunglasses in collaboration with overwatch & i am BEGGING xg to wear them on a stage like just once & i'll be happy
I just looked them up and I NEED to see them on Jurin!!!!!!
aespa was so fresh and glorious. 🪸🫧✨
in love with the editing!!!!
Thank uuu🤭
YALL WAKE UP QUEEN POSTED
WELCOME WELCOME
Ateez have best outfits all time.
I personally love IVES New Era, especially off the record, The track sounds very akin to something BILLIE would release, which by no means is a bad thing. While I do love IVE for being unapologetically glamorous and posh in the past, I am very fond of this more chill and laid-back concept they've given us. I love that they're giving us something different. Not everything has to be over the top and glamorous. Sometimes a song's job is to just be vibey, which I think off the record delivers perfectly. That being said, I still think LOVE DIVE has given us the best concept so far and nothing can compare to the music and the outfits, However, I am very content with off the records existence.
I think NewJeans’ Super Shy superhero/school girls looks (not the ones they wear at the beginning, the gold spandex tops and skirts) are godawful. I get the idea, but I think it looks horrible on them and I hate skin color clothing, especially when it’s tight on the figure, because it looks like they are trying to go nude. I don’t think it fit the concept.
I was also puzzled by the NewJeans (the song) outfits, not because they were ugly nor bad, they just had flip flops, which look ok in the MV, but during dancing (which that song doesn’t have much of) that makes me feel sad, because they had to hold them shoes on for dear life. I also hated the jelly shoes they had in Cool With You, because I feel they looked out of place. I think dancer shoes, those shoes that look like slippers would have worked better or just went with socks fully (that’s a little crazy, but I don’t mind a cool idea that’s a bit odd). But at least they are wearing clothing appropriate for the members (as in things that aren’t overly sexualizing them. I definitely like the OMG, Hype Boy, and Ditto eras outfits more, since they really have such a great look I like).
I also like the outfit Natty wore in Kiss Of Life’s Shh MV, with the fuzzy boots and shorts (I think they all looked great, though Haneul got a outfit that’s been overused, but loved her pigtails). And I liked Julie’s jacket dress combo in Kitty Cat. It’s simple, but I also like oversized jackets and mixing party looks with comfy looks. I definitely think they made some of the best MVs this year and I’m so happy how they all got a solo on the first mini album (take notes YG, you lazy hacks).
Agree on new jeans! Super shy is such a good song so its such a disappointment to see how they style them 😢
@@mariri725 Yeah, like the outfits when they look over the city were ok, but then it was like wrestling attire under a school skirt and it just looks horrible, especially against the pretty backdrop.
Aespa styling=weird but pretty. Like in savage era they looks gorgeus in fighting suit and now in better things they looks like mermaid. What next?
XG just plays chess in an industry full of checker players..
All of the apparel XG wears are top of the line apparel companies. As for the styling and editing, there are other well known model shoots that have done the same techniques for various magazines.
jennies outfit reminds me of perfect blue 😍
Off the record is such pretty girl music like you gotta do a lil two step at least 😭
wellll
No literally I felt like a princess
YESSS! TGIF STYLING!
!!
thanks mingi
eu queria dar uma grande parabéns pra equipe que faz o estilo do ateez. os cara é muito pica
i absolutely LOVEEE IVE's new stuff. i've been obsessed with the two songs and i'm living for this new concept that they're on. it's fun and care-free but not in a kitsch type of way. i'm not very focused on the styling in this era, but they always look good! they're branching out to these newer concepts without sacrificing the quality of their sound and identity which is really really impressive.
for me the new ive songs are my favorite, specially OTR, idk why I like them so much. I feel they have the hunting singing style they had in love dive, which i missed. I feel that's so IVE, like they sound like sirens. I do agree that the styling was underwhelming, I could get it for either way, cuz the song is more emotional. But in Off the Record, they couldve done a lil bit more!!!! OTR gaeul LOOKS SO GOOD OMG, she was not my bias but man... I CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT HER THERE !
i think off the record's styling was a mix of both mundane and fantastical elements, if you get what i mean? like gaeul with that veil on her cap, yujin with a hoodie on a sequin dress, rei in that very fairy like attire. i personally loved both either way and off the record! usually don't enjoy ballads but IVE never misses ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@etherealstrawberry9873 OMG I FANGIRLED SO MUCH FOR GAEUL, literally my bias are wony and liz but now i dunno. I want to dress like gaeul and her makeup and everything in that video is perfection!
Off the Record was such a balanced performance. Legit everyone stood out to me throughout the whole MV. Yet still, Gaeul was probably the most captivating, the grungy outfit contrasting with the veil, her bow during the bridge, her tossing the veil in one of her final scenes. Immaculate.
I love the new ive concept and the clothes are not meant to be flashy 😭 .
3:44 YOURE RIGHT BESTIE
I FEEL THAT WAY TOO
my favourite song in the background 🥺
Being different isn’t always the worst or weird
aespa ‘better things’ styling should be the standard actually
I want everybody to drown themselves in jewelry
Seriously
tbh im kinda confused w/ the direction ive is going in, dont get me wrong it's good to branch out but i feel like they have no artist identity. it really shocks me because starship does an excellent job at establishing & maintaining their groups' identity & as soon as you hear the names of their groups there's immediately a concept that comes to mind. (ex: wjsn = cosmic, sistar = summer) while w/ ive the spaghetti isnt really sticking to the wall 🤷♀️
I feel like Royal/Elegant concept goes really well with IVE, and their songs like Royal and Blue Blood further cement my belief.
yeah I have to agree with you, I’m not yet seeing the vision
ive as a group have an identity, the only thing is it’s not been solidified enough compared to other girl groups, ive’s whole identity has been elegance/royalty and narcissism(which are extremely versatile) since debut
IVE’s entire concept is ‘I HAVE’, they are meant to constantly change and show new things. If you think about it, all their titles so far have been different from one another, they never really do the same thing twice. The only thing keeping them together is the elegant & feminine way they do it. Fans call it a ‘royal’ identity. Their are meant to always change and do something new. ‘SHOW WHAT I HAVE’ ‘HAVE WHAT WE WANT’ are both phrases they use continuously as well as the ‘I’ve’ idea for their projects.
@@2yj1stfan i thought they were going for a royalty/elegant concept but after like is disco & im not sure what box the new era falls under since its not fully out yet but it's not really the posh sound in eleven or love dive 🤷♀️
XG really did well with their recent comeback! They looks like an alien that learning and trying to wear clothes as human do!
here's my weekly whacking for rbw. why did swan not reference black swan or swan lake in her solo? i like some of her outfits, but sigh
I love that XG is doing their on thing with styles and I never get the idea that they are told to dress that way and they are just doing for that reason. They seem fully engaged with it.XG, taking no L’s and giving no F’s.
I honestly don't like new ive era, their royal princesses concept was really unique and good. I was most excited for otr too but it sounded like their old b sides, I expected it to be more like la vien rose+love dive but it was very different from concept photos, at first I didn't like either way too but now I think it's a song I'd listen to after having a long day, I think I'll get used to otr too but it isn't a song I'd listen to by myself, it's more like cupid by fifty fifty. Anyways I was excited for baddie but it sounds like classic+hypnosis, which is good ofc but it sounds used and I don't really like demonic signs used in mv. I really miss their old concept and I hope they get back to it asap
i love your editing sm !!!
since we haven't talked abt styling within kpop for the past 6-ish months, here's a list of my best/worst styling over the past 6 months
queencard was y2k mcbling done right. soyeon's matching safety shorts will go down in history
spicy was y2k mcbling done wrong, there's so much fun the stylists didn't have. same with kep1er's 'giddy'. a song abt the exitement of love w/ a lot of kitty imagery & we're wearing denim?
it came out almost a year ago, but im still upset abt skz's 'case 143'. where is the pink? where are the hearts? i get the police uniforms. but this era could've been so fun & so bright like
Oh 100% agree with you on case 143 i was disappointed with the outfits they couldve gone wayyy quirkier even with the police uniforms
@@nctiddy no bc it was one of the first times they talked abt love in a title track like why aren’t we being creative???
XG is really different from other Korean groups. After watching xg, it feels that it is not a level to see other Korean groups
Xg is not Kpop but it's definetely part of the Kpop multiverse
omg drop your pinterest 👀👀👀👀 no pressure tho
hope the link works! pin.it/6ERy0rk
Most of my boards are privated but hope you enjoy anyways hehe
i love xg’s styling, it’s so camp
1:26 how are these objectively ugly, like I get subjectively ugly but when you say objective do you mean as in they break the rules of fashion or aesthetic? Which would make them appealing to the general public
I think most people would agree that the outfits look mismatched and “weird”, which is why I say they’re objectively “ugly”, I think our eyes definitely prefer symmetry and a pleasing color palette which is why I think some things can absolutely be objectively ugly
😔😔missed opportunity to start with: Hi- it's me again, I'm back!
8:47 IM SORRY BUT DOYOUNG LOOKS LIKE A SALMON 😭
HE DOESSS WTF
XG is the most fashion forward group.
Aespa 💫 rule period
Are u using Mario kart DS font for your text 😭😍
finally someone is talking about xg's nails in tgif era
I looooveee xg styling
I couldn’t disagree more about IVE’s song ‘Off the Record’- it’s been stuck in my head since it came out! 😅
🤍
I read online Somewhere about IVE and the whole concept of the albums being color modes (we just got out of RGB+White and now we are starting the Magenta in CMYK). It’s definitely something different IVE is going for, it reminds me of something spoken of in Graphic Design class last week. When working in RGB color mode and you print in CMYK, the colors don’t translate well (if at all). We saw IVE’s RGB, the big electronic screen of color. Rei can have a vase fall on her head and Wonyoung can jump off a plane. Something that we can look at on a screen, but can’t really “touch”. Now we are in the CMYK Era, a lot more… real-life outfits. It’s now a drastic jump from the pristine web colors we were used to, like seeing the finest computer screen and then jumping straight to a newspaper. Maybe it’s just because I work for a newspaper irl but Ngl I love their styling for this era, it’s less a performance costume and something I could legit see someone around my town wear. It’s probably the only parasocial bone in my body, but I love an outfit that looks attainable. Also I greatly dislike wearing hats personally, but seeing Liz rock the hats in Either Way and Off The Record is making me feel emotions 😍
Either way is my favorite ive song so far
what app do you use fo edit?
I just watched XG's portion then skip the rest. Nice vid tho 😊
that’s fine thanks for watching!!
love aespa style!
whats the bgm during XG styling
speed love by tripleS!
tripleS speed love!
Ummm, where is Wendy's RBB green feather shopping bag dress?? Not just terrible but iconic in how bad it was.
I definitely talked about it a year ago maybe lol!
“I’m curious to see what Baddie is all about. I mean, with a title like that, it can’t be anything too understated and boring, right?”
meanwhile, the (pretty but not at all kitsch) styling in Kitsch:
lol trueee
wellll
XG is not K-Pop they have own genre and own style. #XPop
ok and? they act like a kpop group. it's fair game to include them in vids like this one
sooooooo aja coded 🤭🤭🤭 NO ORIGINALITY
frrr like one of their videos popped up in my recommended and I literally started watching thinking it was aja's new video, because the thumbnail game was the same and overall style was very similar.... i was watching and was like huh, something seems not right, before I've heard them praise lrfm, then I had to do a double take at the channel name 💀
you are so annoying sitting here comparing thumbnails like a nerd my style is my style and always has been same goes for aja stop being weird
@@nctiddyit's so clearly ajanugu inspired tho- 😭
OMGGG HIII
HIIIIII
I dont think theres such thing as “bad styling”. We need more creative styling. I guess you can never satisfy people.
ouu i have to disagree with you, bad styling is everything that’s boring, uninteresting and badly combined
@@nctiddy Everyone has a different opinion on something therefore it cant be bad, its subjective. You can like mainstream, simple stuff but don’t disrespect people who have a vision and are willing to execute it.
@@Unicornn3_ this person is into graphic design and fashion so they know what vision means. and criticism doesn't equal disrespect 🤷♀️
you take it too personal, art (including) fashion is meant to be critiqued and always has been, also nothing I’m saying is meant to be disrespectful I love fashion so much I spent a lot of time researching so my opinions come from a place of wanting to see groups do the best they can to make a concept come to life
I love XG insanely but they wear the most stupid clothes......
they're supposed to be like cool party animal type aliens from space, so it makes sense that they wear strange stuff
@@pigeondance strange isnt the issue. Some of them are okay. They make them wear the ugliest things lol. Check the last video and look at Cocona's legs. Weird and ugly AF. What are those socks ?
@@pigeondance looks like legs belong to another being or like she is floating. Looks awful cinematography-wise as well.
@@firavun8943 she might as well be another being or floating because she's an alien
yeah doesnt look alien with those socks just looks dumb @@pigeondance
44 secs ago wtf
Hiiiii
Every humans collar bone is anatomically straight 🤣🤣🤣
Jennie is just very lean so it is more noticeable
hmmm you haven’t seen a lot of collar bones I think lmao
