International icons like BLACKPINK’s Lisa, who stunned in a custom sheer silhouette, and SEVENTEEN’s Joshua, whose sophisticated tailoring set a new standard for modern menswear. The celebration of Asian excellence continued with a powerful lineup of creators and stars featuring Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Jon M. Chu, and Laufey, among others.
