South Korean actress HoYeon Jung surprised the Paris Fashion Week crowd by making a guest appearance on the catwalk of the Louis Vuitton women’s Fall/Winter 2022 show.
The "Squid Game" star and former model opened the show for the high-end French fashion house at the capital’s Musée d'Orsay.
The 27-year-old donned oversized pinstripe trousers, a white shirt with a colorful yellow patterned tie hung loosely around her neck, and a large brown leather jacket with embellished collar detail.
The luxury label’s creative director Nicolas Ghesquière described the collection as “an excursion into a perceptible, fleeting, and decisive moment when everything comes to the fore, in all its innocence and insight. The impermanence and beautiful volatility of adolescence.”
The Oscar-winning actress was named Louis Vuitton’s latest global ambassador for fashion, watches, and jewelry in October 2021.
HoYeon, made famous for her performance as Player 067 in the hit Netflix series, has previously starred in Louis Vuitton’s 2017 ready-to-wear campaign, in addition to walking on the French fashion house’s runway.
In a statement released at the time, Ghesquière said: “I immediately fell in love with HoYeon ’s great talent and fantastic personality, and I am looking forward to starting this new chapter of the journey we started at Louis Vuitton a few years ago.”
“It is an honor to mark my beginnings as an actress with Louis Vuitton after having worked with them as a model. I’m looking forward to every moment I will experience with Louis Vuitton as their global ambassador,” HoYeon said in a statement.
Louis Vuitton, of the LVMH group, also used the occasion to announce it has sealed a new long-term partnership with the Musee d’Orsay that will see the brand promoting the museum and its associated art collection.
The fashion show was the first in history to be hosted at the museum, which holds the world’s largest collection of Impressionist and post-Impressionist art.
