So, as kpop fans, we all have moments when we want to slap whoever it is that dresses the celebrities. And then, there are moments when we want to hug them and shower them with all the love that we have. This post is dedicated to those people who have the task of making our idol stars look even better than they naturally do. I'm going to give shout outs to my favorites and not so favorites on this post (yes, this may be lengthy).
Super Junior's Stylists
The first stylist team that I'm going to mention is that of Super Junior. Let's face it, there's rarely a "Wtf are they wearing" moment with this group. That alone is commendable since there are so many people in the group and they have to ensure that they all look good enough to eat.
2ne1's Stylists
I have to give a shout out to the genius behind these girls. Whoever it is, must really have a sense of humor and an "f u" attitude, because honestly, some of the outfits and concepts make everyone go O_O. Still, thanks to their team (and their own neat tastes) the girls have become fashion icons.
B1A4's Stylists
Someone hand me a gun.
<--- This is complete and utter madness. Yes, the fans will love them, regardless of what they wear on stage. They started off alright during the "O.K." promotions. However, upon the arrival of "Beautiful Target, it's like they randomly dig in a barrel of clothes and find outfits that are similar in color and give it to them to wear. Unlike other groups, the stylists off day is when they actually look good. Although, there is a bit of consistency to this mess. Jinyoung will always wear oversized shirts, Baro will always have a hat, CNU will always look semi masculine (his femine features and long hair make it kinda difficult to achieve a full masculinity look), Gongchang always has the animal hoodie and Sanduel's outfit rarely matches the group on the whole. Still though, as a fan, I would like to see a bit more effort.
Kara's Stylists
These girls stylists do a great job. The group almost always matches, not just in color co-ordination but also with the other members. Their hairstyles are usually very pretty, and their make-up isn't over the top. Cute, sexy, innocent - they've successfully created every female image (except maybe bad-ass, but 2NE1 can help them with that if they need it).
The Other Big 3 Stylists
Let's face it, the "big 3" have some of the best, and most reliable stylists. Sometimes, they do a heap of foolishness (Like putting a huge flower on Seungri's greenish colored quarter sleeved, tight suit jacket), but they're still very consistent in delivering fashionable apparel that matches the image of the companies' artists. SM's male artists always look as if they've stepped out of GQ magazine and their females...well, they change depending on the concept that they have at any given time.
YG stylists have managed to go where professional stylists have never gone before. They manage to make the most affordable and available clothes look runway ready. They are able to mesh hip-hop, rock, classical and regular casual clothes together in a way that other stylists are either afraid or simply unable to. Even the most messed up styles from this company are inspiring and cool.
JYP stylists also do a good job with their clients. Seeing how each group has their own concept and image (i.e Wonder Girls are retro, 2PM are macho, 2AM are suave etc) the stylists have to continue to come up with different styles every so often and like a million variations for the billions of performances. So yeah, congrats all JYP stylists...you do a good job.
