SOOBIN / DOLCE&GABBANA / SEPTEMBER 2026
One appointment. Three ways to tell the story.
SOOBIN’s Dolce&Gabbana chapter is unfolding across fashion and beauty. In September 2026, the Italian house named the TOMORROW X TOGETHER leader its new Global Ambassador and confirmed him as the face of the launch campaign for its Ever-Youth Skin Collection. [1]
A DAZED Korea beauty editorial published on September 30 added another perspective. Together, the announcement, campaign and editorial give this partnership several distinct settings. [3]
Three formats.
One new chapter.

From Bare Till Noir
DAZED Korea brings wardrobe and skincare into a day-to-night story.
View the editorialA familiar artist, a different setting
In the brand’s announcement, SOOBIN connects his enthusiasm for the house to its attention to individuality and craftsmanship. [1]
That gives this STYLE story its starting point: how much of an artist’s identity remains visible when the setting changes. A stage, a fashion portrait and a beauty close-up ask the audience to look for different things.
For KPOP MAGAZINE, the interesting detail is the movement between those formats. The appointment establishes the relationship. A skincare campaign directs attention toward expression and presence. The editorial then offers another way to frame the same person.
Beauty comes into the foreground
Ever-Youth gives the announcement a concrete launch to follow. Dolce&Gabbana’s collection introduction presents four core products: a mask, an eye serum, a serum and a cream, built around its Gold Peptides ingredient story. [2]
The details are deliberately tactile. The brand describes a mask that changes from ivory to gold during application and an eye serum with a heart-shaped cooling applicator. Texture, packaging and the act of applying skincare become part of the presentation.
These are the house’s product descriptions, rather than findings from a KPOP MAGAZINE product test. The editorial significance here is SOOBIN’s role in introducing the range alongside his new ambassador title.
From the announcement to the image
DAZED Korea’s September 30 feature, From Bare Till Noir, makes the fashion-and-beauty connection particularly clear. Its public introduction follows SOOBIN from morning to night against a pared-back white-wall setting. A visible styling caption pairs Dolce&Gabbana Beauty eye patches with a cotton shirt by the fashion house. [3]
The result is a useful shift in scale: from a title announced by a brand to the small details of how an artist is presented. Wardrobe and skincare belong to the same image.
September has supplied the opening sequence. The next campaigns and appearances will show how SOOBIN makes this new chapter his own.
