Red Velvet’s Seulgi is Ferragamo’s ambassador
In a video campaign called Let’s Dance, Red Velvet’s Seulgi is featured dancing freestyle, showing off elegant moves and clad in the latest fashion from Italian luxury brand Salvatore Ferragamo. Most striking are her Ferragamo Let’s Dance shoes, which are lace-up heels crafted in silver laminated nappa – a light, functional and stylish choice.
Yonhap News called her an “instant show-stopper”, adding that Seulgi was chosen as the brand’s global ambassador for her “unique sense of style, passion for her craft and creativity” – the same values that the Italian fashion house espouses.

Shin Min-ah debuts Roger Vivier’s shoe collection
Model and actress Shin Min-ah, one of Korea’s most recognisable faces, has debuted a shoe collection in collaboration with Roger Vivier.
While Shin has made regular appearances for the French fashion brand in previous years, she’s gone beyond her usual role of ambassador. “I also took part in video planning, and this time, I actually made the idea of working with the brand to design shoes into a reality. I slightly applied the existing design of Roger Vivier’s Mary Jane shoes,” she told Dazed magazine.
Drawn to the classic aesthetic and quiet charm of Roger Vivier’s shoes, Shin also noted how the brand is bold and unafraid of new concepts too.

Seohyun of Girls’ Generation recently flashed an elegant Prada bag on her Instagram – looking just as exquisite posing beside it. She wrote a bit about her chosen luxury arm candy in the photo caption: “Named after Prada’s first store in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the Galleria bag contains Prada’s history.”
The Prada Galleria is an iconic bag that is “recreated season after season with the mood of the moment and the spirit of the times”, according to the brand’s website. It comes in mini, small, medium and large sizes, and is available in up to twelve colours.
