Milan Fashion Week wrapped up last week, and pop idols and movie stars from Asia were in the city to grace the affair.
You don't have to keep your eyes on the runway to catch this season's show-stopping designer outfits; you can also take a gander at the celebrities sitting in the front row. Their looks are meant to raise awe, inspire, and of course, make these celebrities the envy of whoever lays eyes on them. In attendance at Milan Fashion Week FW24, which took place from 12th January to 16th January 2024, were Snow Man members Raul and Ren Meguro alongside Careless Music's James Reid (who was also in attendance at Paris Fashion Week) with some of the hottest and most prominent Asian artists and personalities in the world today, showcasing the biggest luxury brands and drawing millions in media value thanks to their presence alone.
In exclusive messages to Bandwagon, Snow Man's Raul and Ren Meguro, as well as Filipino actor-turned-pop star James Reid shared their Fashion Week experience with us.

"I have always adored the creativity of Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani, JW Anderson, and so many more of the houses and designers here at Milan Fashion Week, and I am so thankful to them for their invitations as well as the fans who came to greet and support me. It’s been an incredible week and I will remember it forever! Raul a Milano, ciao!"

"Being invited to Fashion Week in Milan has definitely been a career highlight as well as a personal dream come true. Getting to shoot with Fendi last year in Rome was an incredible experience in itself, and I want to thank them for their kindness and generosity in inviting me back to Italy to see the new collection's show. But more than anything, I want to say thank you to all the fans who braved the cold to support me. Grazie, xiexie, arigato!"

"This being my first Men’s Fashion Week, I am humbled and honoured to be invited and dressed by some of the most prominent names in fashion to witness their Fall/Winter 2024 showcases in Milan and Paris.
If there’s one word to describe my experience it would be “inspiring”. I’m inspired by the people, the spaces and the designs. I see a similar magic that happens when creating music. When creativity takes form, It’s always an amazing sight.
The best part of the trip was being with my partner Issa Pressman (who got me into fashion in the first place) and (exploring) the fashion world together, learning and trying on new looks. It was very satisfying.
I’m loving the current trend of more tailored looks and American and Western designs.
It was an unforgettable first Men’s Fashion Week and definitely won’t be my last."
