High jewelry houses have chosen these Asian celebrities to represent and be the face of their brand.
Korea is currently a hotspot for luxury brands. Various fashion houses and high jewelry brands are starting to notice how huge the K-Wave is, and they’re trying to ride it. Holding fashion shows in Seoul is one of the ways these luxurious brands surf the wave.
One of the main ways high-end brands utilize the Hallyu wave is by inviting famous Korean stars and idols to their brand ambassadors. These brands hand-picked celebrities to represent and be the face of their label. Moreover, fashion brands often hire brand ambassadors, but high jewelry labels rarely choose someone as their global ambassador.
Furthermore, these Korean superstars, whether in the K-Pop or K-Drama industry, are specially chosen by high-end jewelry brands to be the face of their campaigns.
