G-Dragon, Taeyang & Teddy on “Under the Influence: Human Potential”
Under the Influence: Human Potential by DARIA RADLINSKI
Givenchy and Hepburn, Saint Laurent and de la Falaise… the relationship between designer and muse has been integral to fashion history. Our favorite contemporary designers and their influences are no exception.
This season, we asked designers to photograph the people, places, or objects that inspired their Fall/Winter 2012 collections. From batmobiles in Paris to the best skate spots in Moscow, they did not disappoint. Check out what else they came up with in our new series, “UNDER THE INFLUENCE.”
Today, the designers of HUMAN POTENTIAL reveal who they turn to for inspiration and it’s none other than Teddy (producer at YG Entertainment), and Taeyang and G-Dragon of BIG BANG!
Who is your muse?
They are artists and musicians who are free and enjoy expressing themselves through fashion. In this shoot, our muses are Teddy, Taeyang, and G-Dragon.
How do they influence you?
They are very fashion forward and are true trendsetters.
Does your inspiration change from season to season?
Yes, our inspiration changes quite often. But our concepts are always inspired by the human condition.
Do you have any secret talents?
I guess our secret talent is analyzing the human condition and trying to find a spiritual connection.
Where did you shoot these photos?
At the YG building in Teddy’s studio. This is where many of our muses create their work.
