BTS RM’s Smooth Interaction With Kelela At The “Bottega Veneta” Show Goes Viral
BTS‘s RM recently took over Milan Fashion Week, making his fashion show debut at the Bottega Veneta Ready-to-Wear Autumn Winter 2022-2023 collection show.
Before arriving in Milan, RM proved he was the main event with his ultra-chic appearance at the airport.
The luxury Italian fashion brand has been eyeing BTS’s RM, with eagle-eyed netizens spotting the creative director, Matthieu Blazy, and the chief marketing and digital business owner of Bottega Veneta, Dario Gargiulo, following RM on Instagram in mid-January.
The sudden social media activity followed the announcement of BTS’s Jimin being named a global ambassador for Dior and Suga being named a global ambassador for Valentino, leading many to hope Bottega Veneta would name RM an ambassador too.
