Stray Kids‘ charismatic leader Bang Chan has officially stepped into the spotlight as Fendi’s newest brand ambassador, making a spectacular entrance at Milan Fashion Week that has fashion critics and fans alike singing his praises. Stays (Stray Kids’ fans) once again chime in saying, It is the world of Bang Chan, and we are all living in it!

Stray Kids’ Leader Bang Chan Debuts as Fendi Brand Ambassador in Milan Fashion Week

On February 26, 2025, all eyes were on Christopher Chan Bahng—better known to millions worldwide as Bang Chan—as he made his grand entrance at Fendi’s prestigious headquarters in Milan’s Via Solari 35. The 27-year-old K-pop sensation commanded attention in an impeccably styled monochromatic ensemble that fashion insiders are already dubbing “iconic” and “effortlessly sophisticated.”

Bang Chan’s carefully curated look featured an off-the-shoulder cream knit that revealed glimpses of a sandy camel tank top with crisp white trim underneath. The flowing crepe pants in the same cream hue created a cohesive silhouette that emphasized his confident presence. His choice to accent the outfit with minimal disruptions to the color story—save for pristine white sneakers and a statement black Fendi clutch—demonstrated the refined styling sensibility that likely caught the luxury brand’s attention in the first place.

Along with his stunning Fendi attire, fans could not help but praise the Maniac crooner’s thoughtfulness and how he greeted fans outside the show. A fan posted on X: “When he left, fans started chanting his name so loudly, so he got off the car and made sure to greet all the fans, even those who were on the other side of the street. He’s so precious.”

A Partnership in the Making

The Australian-Korean star’s journey with Fendi began earlier this year when he was officially announced as the brand’s ambassador on January 16, 2025, following his initial appearance during Fendi’s spring-summer 2025 collection showcase. Industry insiders reveal that the partnership was a natural evolution after Bang Chan had repeatedly demonstrated his affinity for the brand’s designs in his personal wardrobe choices.

Even his airport fashion revealed his dedication to the partnership. Just a day before his Milan appearance, Bang Chan was photographed departing from Incheon Airport sporting a coordinated denim ensemble from Fendi—a relaxed jacket and pants combination elevated by a crisp white t-shirt and statement platform sneakers. The look was completed with a black baguette messenger bag adorned with a playful WolfChan Skzoo pendant—a nod to his fandom—alongside eye-catching silver earrings that showcased his attention to detail.

Stray Kids’ Unstoppable Momentum in 2025

Bang Chan’s fashion triumph comes during a particularly momentous period for Stray Kids, who continue to shatter records and expand their global influence in unprecedented ways. The eight-member powerhouse group—consisting of Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N.—is preparing for their most ambitious European stadium tour to date, set to commence in July 2025. The Europe tour will begin at the heels of their highly successful fan meeting that took place during Valentine’s week.

The highly anticipated tour will see the group performing at some of Europe’s most prestigious venues, beginning with Amsterdam’s Johan Cruijff Arena on July 11. They’ll continue their continental domination with stops in Frankfurt’s Deutsche Bank Park (July 15), London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (July 18), Madrid’s Riyadh Air Metropolitano (July 22), before culminating in a spectacular finale at Paris’s legendary Stade de France on July 26.
