BTS Make 1 Move, and Jimin's Louis Vuitton Look Sells Out Instantly in Korea
When K-pop band BTS announced their appearance on South Korean variety show You Quiz on the Block, a short, 37-second trailer had fans searching wildly for Jimin's Louis Vuitton look. It should come as no surprise that he wore the French fashion house — the group were fully outfitted in Virgil Abloh's designs for the 2021 Grammys, and it's a go-to label for many of the members of the crew.
But this, of course, was a decidedly casual combination from Louis Vuitton: the Inside Out Crewneck Sweatshirt in black, which retails for $800 and features a small embroidered logo tag on the back, and the LV Friends Pendant necklace, which rings up at $810. In Korea, both products sold out immediately.
It's not the first time Jimin, who is known as a style icon, has sparked a shopping sensation with one of his looks, but this instance is particularly notable since the LV crewneck itself is pretty simple in style, and there are a lot of similar iterations out there. While both of Jimin's LV staples are still available in the US, just in case you're shopping on a budget, we found similar items for you to re-create the moment at a more affordable price point. But first, scroll to watch Jimin's LV pieces in action to get inspired.
