Model Nam Gi-ung is being embraced by luxury brand CELINE and is emerging as a trending model.
Ghost Agency model Nam Gi-ung struck the global fashion scene upon debut, drawing attention inside and outside the industry for his explosive growth.
Nam Gi-ung appeared in the CELINE collection, considered a dream stage for models, two consecutive times. This achievement is the only one accomplished by an East Asian male model during the 2026 S/S season, giving his remarkable trajectory even more special significance.
Nam Gi-ung, following CELINE 2026 Spring, perfectly dominated the 2026 Spring·Summer season fashion show held this fall in Paris. When he appeared on the catwalk, he captured the attention of the audience filling the venue. That was because of his 188cm tall frame, outstanding proportions, and his stylish walking that fully complemented the unique appeal of the garments.
Nam Gi-ung's innate qualities as a model captivated not only fashion people but also Michael Rider, the creative director leading CELINE. In this way, he brightly illuminated the CELINE collection runway and showcased a presence while continuously enhancing the stature of Korean models.
Nam Gi-ung debuted as an exclusive model for the Prada show, foreshadowing the birth of a top rookie. Nam Gi-ung has demonstrated his outstanding skills across a variety of stages, from high-end brands such as Dior and CELINE to emerging labels receiving strong attention now, such as Craig Green and Xie Ji Chen.
Nam Gi-ung has moved from a newcomer who made people curious to the ranks of a trendsetter. There is a pleasant sense of anticipation about the footprints he will leave in the fashion world.
