So BTS were wearing Stone Island for the act 2 fits. They are an Italian brand specialising in high-end outerwear, which served as a stylish nod to British stadium culture and London’s local streetwear scene.
And turns out the styling choice carries an interesting historical background. I did some reading and found out that the brand's signature compass badge was originally adopted as the unofficial uniform of 1980s UK football hooligans 👀 looking to blend into luxury crowds.
So bts wearing it is like playing a clever homage to the brand and its history while also portraying the brand's gritty, rebellious stadium heritage to match the rowdy, chaotic energy of act 2 itself.
Cool right?
