Aespa's Ningning opens up about the connection between music and fashion in a new campaign launching Versace's 2024 holiday collection.
“I believe that fashion and music are intertwined. Through music we can show what's in our hearts and express our style,” says Ningning in the campaign, which takes viewers behind the scenes of her photoshoot for Versace's holiday collection, highlighting the new Kleio bag.
“I love the Kleio bag,” she says, noting the bag's “soft leather” and “pillow-like” design. “The texture is very interesting.”
Crafted from Nappa lamb leather, the quilted bag features a removable chain strap and Versace '95 Medusa hardware. Versace's Kleio Mini Bag retails for $1,390 and the Kleio Shoulder Bag is $2,390. Both bags are available in red, white, pink, black and yellow.

“Versace is not just a fashion brand. Its luxurious and unique designs provide endless inspiration for many musicians,” Ningning says later in the ad. “I hope to collaborate more with Versace in the future and create more and better works to share with everyone.”
The 22-year-old K-pop star models several pieces from Versace's holiday collection, including the Safety Pin Gathered Top ($1,195), Medusa '95 Regular Fit Jeans ($950), Opera Bow Patent Mules, Dalmation Wool-Blend Oversized Sweater ($1,590 ), '90s Vintage Stirrup Leggings ($595) and Opera Bow Knee High Boots ($1,890) and Protea Shoulder Bag ($1,850).
