Aespa Leads the Dirty Core Fashion Trend with Upcoming Single
A Fashion Evolution with Aespa’s Dirty Core Style
Aespa’s Impact on Fashion Trends
In recent years, South Korean girl group Aespa has made waves not only in the music industry but also in the realm of fashion. With their upcoming single Dirty Work, set to release at the end of this month, the group is once again setting a new trend known as ‘Dirty Core’.
Introduction to Dirty Core
The Dirty Core fashion trend, a portmanteau of ‘dirty’, referring to a rugged texture, and ‘core’, a term commonly used in fashion to denote a central theme, embodies a unique style. This look is achieved through smeared makeup, tousled hair, ripped jeans, and stained tops.
Aespa’s Unique Concept
Aespa’s preparation for their comeback involved releasing a series of teaser videos, including an intro video. They have evolved their brand identity, previously known as the ‘clean metal taste’, into what is now called the ‘rusty metal taste’. This has captured attention across various communities and the fashion industry.
The decadent and rugged style showcased in these teasers has bolstered the Dirty Core trend, especially among women in their 20s and 30s. Discussions and imitations of Aespa’s look are prevalent across social media platforms.
Aespa’s Diverse Appeal
Aespa’s influence extends beyond fashion. Their ‘Dirty Core’ style contrasts sharply with the trending ‘Egen-nyo’ and ‘Egen-nam’ styles, derived from the combination of estrogen-related phrases.
As noted by an industry insider, “While many idol groups are returning with refreshing concepts for the summer season, Aespa remains steadfast in exploring their unique color, displaying remarkable determination and confidence.” Their steadfast approach has been met with accolades.
Musical Identity and Upcoming Release
Aespa’s previous hits, like “Supernova”, “Armageddon”, and the mini-album “Whiplash”, have solidified their distinctive ‘metal taste’ in music. The anticipation surrounding “Dirty Work” is immense, with fans speculating whether Aespa’s ‘four-character myth’ will continue with this release. Names such as ‘Rusty Metal Taste’, ‘Smelting Aespa’, and ‘Blacksmith Aespa’ have already been coined by fans.
Aespa’s “Dirty Work” is scheduled for a global release on major music platforms at 1 PM on the 27th.
