NCT’s Jeno will open Peter Do’s Spring/Summer 2023 runway show at New York Fashion Week (NYFW), making him the first K-Pop idol to kick off the annual event.
The New York-based fashion designer said in a statement that picking the NCT member was a “natural choice,” adding that he “embodies the Peter Do man — multifaceted, confident, and a trailblazer.”
“I have so much respect for these artists because there is so much time put into their craft that people simply don’t see. Few realize the intensity of what is happening behind the scenes to achieve the end product; it’s very similar to fashion so I identify with that process very much,” Do further added.
As part of the label’s collaboration with his agency SM Entertainment, Jeno’s labelmate Red Velvet’s Seulgi will sit front row at the inaugural menswear collection show. SM Rookies Shohei and Eunseok will also be making appearances.
When?
Jeno is set to make his runway debut at the designer’s SS23 runway show at NYFW on September 13.
