A strong sense of style typically develops over time, but GISELLE has been following her own fashion instincts since she was a kid. Even at a young age, she couldn't be told what to wear, no matter how hard her fashion designer mom tried.

With that in mind, GISELLE's digital designs for PAPER and The Dematerialised speak to her love of mix-and-match versatility and making a sta ..read more

She's attentive, a generous listener and someone her members can easily rely on to answer the t ..read more

There are no rules, no limits — just stars that plaster celestial mosaics in aubergine skies, illuminating the breadth of digital expanse. This is Kwangya, an intermediary metaverse at the center of aespa’s story. While it’s not unusual for K-pop acts to spawn entire universes and convoluted narratives, aespa’s concept is as real as it is fantastical. As AI chatbots continue to incite intrigue a ..read more
