Stray Kids powerhouse Bang Chan anchors his signature luxury style in sharp tailoring and dark layers for house Fendi
When a luxury fashion house taps a K-pop star as its ambassador, the appeal goes beyond their celebrity status. They bring a distinct personal style and a global fanbase that can introduce a heritage label to a new generation.
Stray Kids’ Bang Chan makes an interesting match for Fendi, the Roman fashion house known for its Italian craftsmanship and modern approach to luxury. His wardrobe often leans towards structured silhouettes, monochromatic looks and practical accessories, balancing the ease of contemporary menswear with sharper tailoring.
There’s a natural fit between his understated approach to dressing and Fendi’s more refined pieces, particularly when clean lines and thoughtful details do the talking. The partnership also reflects how luxury brands are connecting with younger audiences through stars whose personal style feels like an extension of the clothes they wear, rather than simply a way to showcase a logo.

When did Bang Chan become brand ambassador for Fendi?
Fendi officially announced Bang Chan as its brand ambassador on 16 January 2025. The announcement arrived as the Italian luxury house commemorated its 100th anniversary, marking a notable alignment between the brand’s historic centenary milestone and its expanding global representation. Following the initial announcement, Bang Chan debuted official campaign imagery for the brand featuring pieces from the Fendi Men’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection.
What is Bang Chan’s Fendi style?
Bang Chan’s visual partnership with Fendi relies on a minimalist aesthetic characterized by structured tailoring, dark tonal layering and precise accessorising. His public appearances and stage outfits feature several recurring design elements:
Monochromatic basics: Preferring deep navy, charcoal and black tones, his looks often center on knitwear, sleeveless blazers and clean suiting separates.
Textural contrast: Outfits frequently balance solid matte fabrics with sheer metallics, satin surfaces or subtle FF monogram knits.
Functional accessories: Leather goods such as the Fendi Lui bag, combined with structured lace-up boots and geometric silver jewelry, provide utility and geometric framing to his tailoring.
