Today, as celebrity’s multiple identities dominate the worlds of music, film, and fashion, clothing lines have become mandatory symbols of pop music’s dominance.
The latest to develop his aesthetic into a fashion brand is Chinese pop star Jackson Wang, a member of the boy band Got7, who, in addition to having a successful solo career. Industry giants like Armani, Fendi, and Adidas are all looking for Wang, known for his elegant personal image, to use in advertising collections and capsule collections.
His new streetwear and lifestyle brand Team Wang applies his talents to design, with a debut collection focused on minimalist necessities. Mr. Wang, the brand’s creative director, sees the project, the result of three years of development, as an extension of himself.
Wang’s brand vision aligns with his wardrobe.
He was an Olympic-level fencer who dressed with precision and combined athleticism with catwalk menswear. Wang is also a master of paparazzi rambles, taking some of the biggest style risks as he travels from destination to destination.
To that end, Wang’s future plans are to “go with the flow” rather than stick to a seasonal schedule.” The Kings are going to get bigger and I’m going to try things that inspire me,” he explained.”As a designer, I will continue to follow my heart, I want to make history.”
