Nylon Singapore: Flower Power takes over the Fendi x Young Bae Collection

 

If you are a fan of Taeyang and are one of his 7.4 million Instagram followers, you would have noticed that Taeyang has a thing for flowers and daisies, in particular. We’ve seen him plant fresh blooms into his black laced-up boots more than once, and brands sent him bouquets of flowers that included his favourite daisies for his birthday. It’s a pretty well-known fact among his legions of fans. And now, the daisy will become the theme of his first ever fashion collection in collaboration with Italian brand, Fendi. *SQUEALS*

Designer Silvia Venturini Fendi has tapped on Taeyang to work on the collection dubbed as the “Fendi for Taeyang” collection or the #FendixYoungBae capsule collection, and will include a lineup of jackets, hoodies, T-shirts, and accessories, in conjunction with the reopening of the label’s men’s flagship store at Landmark shopping mall in Hong Kong.

The K-pop star’s personal style and signature elements are translated into the collection, which includes daisy-shaped motifs and one-word slogans like “FAITH”, “GRACE”, “SAVED” and “PASSION”, embroidered on black shearling jackets, bomber jackets and oversized T-shirts.

Accessories-wise, the collection also includes pouches and backpacks which comes in either red or black and made from either shearling or calfskin, decorated with the flower motif and Fendi’s brand name. The zip pullers also feature rubberised detailing and are embossed with the artist’s name. In addition, the slogans will also adorn key charms and sneakers that comes in all-black or all-white options.

The capsule collection will drop in Hong Kong on 27 July 2017 and will be available for pre-sale on fendi.com starting in July, with prices ranging from €400 EUR to €8,500 EUR. The Fendi for Taeyang collection will also be available exclusively in the Marina Bay Sands outlet on 1 September 2017.
