The new issue of Vogue Korea is now available and presents a striking series of covers featuring Rosé from Blackpink, all captured by Kim Hee June.
The photographs reveal a deliberate focus on strong silhouettes and rich textures. One cover features Rosé wearing an oversized red and black plaid shirt styled off the shoulder. Paired with thigh-high platform boots, the look channels a refined grunge aesthetic. This is not about nostalgia; it’s a modern interpretation of proportion and attitude. The shirt’s generous cut suggests a shift toward voluminous shapes, a trend that has recently emerged in men’s and women’s collections alike.

Another image showcases a Saint Laurent look, a brand with which Rosé has collaborated for years. She wears a structured black top with faux fur trim on the arms and a sleek, high-waisted skirt. The outfit exudes a sharp sense of confidence. Anthony Vaccarello’s influence at Saint Laurent is evident in the clean lines and focus on powerful, assertive forms. This approach to glamour feels current and significant.
Texture takes center stage in a black-and-white portrait. Rosé’s hair is styled with intense crimps, creating a dramatic, almost sculptural effect. She wears a simple, dark turtleneck and black leather gloves that ground the look. The contrast between the wildness of her hair and the restraint of her clothing is compelling. It demonstrates how playing with texture alone can make a complete fashion statement—a technique increasingly used to add depth to minimalist womenswear.
The creative team, including fashion editors Kihon Sohn and Juyeon Ko and stylist Aeri Yun, constructed a cohesive vision. Each distinct photograph contributes to a singular mood. Lee Seonyeong did the hairstyling, Won Yungyo did the make-up, and Park Eunkyung did the manicure.
Kim Hee June’s photography uses stark lighting and clean backgrounds to ensure the focus remains on the subject and the clothing. This allows the details of each garment and the power of the overall styling to stand out. The final result is a collection of polished and potent images.
