On September 24, amidst the grandeur of Milan Fashion Week, Stray Kids’ leader Bang Chan made a commanding appearance at the Fendi Spring/Summer 2026 runway show. As Fendi’s global ambassador—announced earlier in 2025—this moment reinforced his emerging status as a style icon bridging K‑Pop and high fashion.
Chan stepped onto the runway in a striking ensemble: a black sheer, lacy shirt layered with matching black trousers, and topped with a charcoal gray leather coat. To complete the monochrome aesthetic, he accessorized with Fendi earrings, a coordinating ring, and a sleek black bag. The look was simultaneously bold and elegant, capturing attention for its refined interplay of texture and tone.
Fans online were quick to laud the pairing. On X, one fan wrote, “Bang Chan looks like a fantasy character, and the outfit is a masterpiece.” Another gushed, “It’s as if Fendi created this look specifically for Chan… the combination becomes a work of art in itself.” The hashtag wave—#BANGCHANXFENDISS26 and #FENDISS26—trended among K‑Pop fashion fans and Fendi followers alike.
This runway appearance is not Bang Chan’s first outing for Fendi. He debuted in Fendi’s sphere at Milan Fashion Week prior to his ambassador role, wearing all‑cream ensembles at their FW25 show, and has since become a regular in Fendi styling.
Before the show, Chan also attended the inauguration of Fendi’s flagship store in Milan, wearing a voluminous beige fur coat over neutral tones. The juxtaposition of that softer look and the bold runway outfit demonstrates his versatility as a fashion muse.
The Fendi SS/26 show itself, directed by Silvia Venturini Fendi, leaned into playful elegance and craftsmanship—sheer fabrics, bold silhouettes, floral motifs, and leather details took center stage. Chan’s styling and presence aligned well with the collection’s aesthetic, reinforcing his synergy with the brand.
In a fashion world increasingly influenced by pop culture and global fandoms, Bang Chan’s presence at Fendi’s runway underscores how music and style are converging. For fans and fashion insiders alike, his appearance is more than a guest spot—it’s proof that he’s a creative collaborator, an ambassador, and a muse capable of carrying both the weight of brand legacy and the energy of K‑Pop fandom into the next era.
