The Lloud x IWANNABANGKOK Gym Collection introduces a fitness-focused capsule led by BLACKPINK’s Lisa, combining performance-ready construction with a stylized approach to activewear. Developed in collaboration with Thai label IWANNABANGKOK, the collection was unveiled at ComplexCon Hong Kong 2026 as part of Lisa’s expanding LLOUD creative platform. The range reflects a choreography-driven design approach, with garments built to support movement while maintaining a distinct visual identity.
The collection features coordinated sets including crop tops, shorts, and fitted layers constructed with lightweight materials and functional detailing. Design elements include zip enclosures, wrap accents, and branded graphics that reference performance wear while maintaining a streetwear-oriented finish. The pieces extend Lisa’s ongoing collaborations across fashion and sport, following earlier custom designs created with IWANNABANGKOK for live performances.
