BTS’ V stuns as Face of CELINE's Winter 2023 campaign

On December 3, 2023, Kim Taehyung, aka V of BTS, set the internet ablaze as he was named the “Face of CELINE’s Winter 2023 campaign.” The singer was also praised by DA MAN Magazine, which called him the “Epitome of Rock’ n Roll era” in an article published on November 27, 2023.

Hedi Slimane, image director of Celine, appointed V as the latest figure for his winter edition portrait series. The Love Me Again singer was virtually indistinguishable as he wore a throwback 1950s rock ‘n roll gestalt, complete with the iconic hairstyle of the time, in CELINE’s winter 2023 apparel.

The singer looked sharp in CELINE’s leather shirt and jacket for the first black-and-white photo shoot. Captured by Hedi Slimane, the Rainy Days singer assumed a casual yet introspective flair as if he were a real celebrity from the 1950s.
