Members of the K-Pop group Blackpink wears Diana M Putri’s pieces to promote their new album
On Sept. 16, Blackpink announced the release of their second album Born Pink and a music video for their first single “Shut Down” after a two-year hiatus.
On the video, two members of Blackpink can be seen wearing some of Diana M Putri’s pieces, much to the delight of the designer as well as the group’s Indonesian fans. The designs are also worn for other promotional materials related to the album.
“It’s truly a dream to be able to dress some of the most amazing girls in the K-Pop scene today. Here’s to many more iconic looks,” Diana wrote on her Instagram.
Diana shared that it was a sudden request from YG Entertainment, Blackpink’s agency.
“It was a sudden request from YG Entertainment [Blackpink’s management company], requesting that the wardrobe pieces arrive in South Korea within four days, as we finally chose the pieces from the Diana Couture archive, [sending] both from Indonesia and Los Angeles,” Diana told Liputan6.
Blackpink member Jennie Kim wore Diana’s corset decorated with pearls and chandelier accents, while Rosé wore an edgier design with Diana’s Swarovski-encrusted shorts on a photo to promote the album. Meanwhile, Lisa spots Diana’s tweed peplum skirt adorned with teardrop jewels, while Jisoo wears a pair of multicolored fringe shorts.
Both Blackpink fans and the design community congratulated Diana on her Instagram. Indonesian singer Shanty commented, “Wow, the corset looks fantastic.”
Diana’s design has been worn by other international artists including American country singer Carrie Underwood and a Houston-native rapper, Megan Thee Stallion.
