With an avant-garde fashion show at ComplexCon Hong Kong 2025, the reborn K-pop sensation NJZ (previously known as NewJeans) astonished both convention attendees and cultural influencers. Perfectly fit for the urban, avant-garde environment of the occasion, the ensemble embraced a look that highlighted their evolving identity and honored the modern worldwide fashion scene.
For NJZ’s creative growth as well as their attitude to current fashion, their debut marked a turning point. Their stage clothes were designed to represent urban style and mark a fresh start in the middle of legal and branding adjustments.
NJZ’s outfit for their ComplexCon Hong Kong event
People quickly started to notice NJZ’s attire at ComplexCon. Posts by well-known fashion bloggers on social media show the three sporting “full bedazzled” outfits inspired by Denim Tears. The brand is known for its modern approaches to old denim and intricate embellishments. Carefully laid all over the clothes, the bedazzling gave them a shimmering, radiant appearance.
Along with these adorned objects, other streetwear basics like fitted cuts, big forms, and utilitarian touches were present, suggesting a mix of pragmatic need and artistic risk-taking. One arresting aspect of NJZ’s look was its gender-neutral design.
The group’s taste in non-sexist apparel brands speaks to a moment when traditional gender norms are under challenge in the fashion business. Their straightforward cuts and clean lines, which did not slant too much toward conventional femininity or masculinity, welcomed a more flexible expression of style.
NJZ’s costume choice at ComplexCon functioned more as a kind of branding than as a means of actual expression. As the organization deals with legal concerns and rebranding projects, public perception is much shaped by their visual look.
Reflecting a larger narrative, the completely bejeweled Denim Tears pieces were striking as well. Combining the edgy, embroidered elements of streetwear with the clean, modern lines of fashion, this new approach clearly shows NJZ’s new creative orientation from its past image.
Fashion reviewers and supporters were all thrilled by the daring new look, even if they reacted differently. The extreme change startled some of the group’s long-standing members, while the new look delighted others because it deviated from their earlier work. Soon online forums and social media sites began discussing the consequences of the new clothing choices.
Furthermore, NJZ’s coverage of ComplexCon sparked debates on the evolving relationship between K-pop and current fashion. The band’s bold style decisions have made them well-known as cultural analysts at a period when audiences all over are seeking real expression.
ComplexCon Hong Kong 2025 was a fashion display presenting NJZ’s reinvented self, not only a music event. The intricate decorations the whole group donned, which honored gender-neutral streetwear and also signaled a turning point for the group, were from Denim Tears.
