Silky, oversized, and straight out of your grandma’s guest bathroom—G-Dragon’s latest fashion twist is the bathrobe, and he’s making it runway-worthy.

As a global fashion icon, G-Dragon’s airport fashion has always served as a canvas for creative experimentation—part streetwear, part gallery installation. But lately, fans and style-watchers have been doing double takes as he glides through terminals wrapped in what appears to be luxurious loungewear: bathrobes tied at the waist, often styled with fuzzy slippers, oversized sunglasses, or a beat-up cap that somehow looks couture.

G-Dragon's Whimsical Wardrobe

For years, G-Dragon has blurred the lines between homewear and high fashion, turning the ordinary into aspirational. Though he has collaborated with some of the most high-end luxury brands like Jacob and Co, Chanel and Gentle Monster, fans can certainly look to recreate his iconic looks with an effortless and accessible item that's probably hanging on your bathroom door. His signature fashion motifs include:

Bathrobes—arguably the most casual garment possible—are now the latest addition to G-Dragon’s ever-evolving, ironic, and deeply intentional fashion vocabulary.

Loungewear Goes Luxe

Don’t mistake this for laziness. For G-Dragon, a terry cloth bathrobe is less about comfort and more about message. It’s nonchalant rebellion—a stylish shrug at formality and structure. The “robe look” is what happens when you’ve transcended trends and live only by your own aesthetic rules. He doesn't follow fashion; he becomes the reason it changes.

The striking red robe G-Dragon was recently spotted wearing at Gimpo International Airport is actually a piece from luxury haute couture label Hermès. But don’t be fooled—G-Dragon doesn’t shy away from humble, everyday bathrobes either, whether it’s the kind you'd find in your own bathroom or draped over a hotel room hanger.

He doesn’t follow trends; he redefines them. So don’t be surprised when fashionistas start calling a terry cloth wrap-and-go moment a "GD look." The streets could soon be filled with fashion-forward bathrobe warriors—because if G-Dragon wears it, it’s fashion.

Meanwhile, G-Dragon wrapped up the Korea leg of his ‘Übermensch’ world tour—a comeback both sonic and cultural. The tour comprises a conceptual narrative exploring personal evolution, resilience, and identity in a post-idol age. It’s art-meets-stage, in true GD fashion.

PEACEMINUSONE x Highball: GD’s Taste for Business

He’s also making moves in the F&B scene. Through PEACEMINUSONE, G-Dragon recently launched a signature highball line, marketed as a creative fusion of contemporary art and cocktail culture. Designed to appeal to a new generation of aesthetic-conscious drinkers, it’s G-Dragon’s latest lifestyle flex—proof that his vision doesn’t stop at the stage or the closet.

From Runway to Rocket Science? GD, the Professor

Let’s not forget: G-Dragon is now officially Professor Kwon Ji-yong at KAIST University, where he’s involved in cutting-edge research bridging culture and outer space design. Yes, space. Whether he’s mentoring students in cultural engineering or discussing spacewear aesthetics, one thing’s clear: G-Dragon is playing a game the rest of us haven’t even imagined yet.

Final Word: From Bathroom to Billboard

Only G-Dragon could turn something as mundane as a bathrobe into a fashion statement and cultural moment. And whether he’s releasing genre-blurring tracks, redefining masculinity with embroidered nails, or showing up to the airport like he just rolled out of bed—he always arrives ahead of the curve.

One thing’s for sure: if GD wears it, it’s not just fashion. It’s future.
