Big Bang debuted in 2006 and are known for their hip-pop music and energetic freestyle dancing. Like many pop stars, the band's five members have received plenty of attention based on their individual fashion styling.

Key terms for the band include hi-top sneakers, brightly colored skinny jeans, leather trousers, bold jewelry and accessories. Big Bang's latest music video, Fantastic Baby, created a surreal feel with expressive styling, the use of hyper colours and dramatic hair and make-up.
