Global rap sensation Psy has taken his “Gangnam Style” into the world of high fashion by landing himself on the cover of this month’s edition of Italy’s L’uomo Vogue magazine.

The 35-year-old Korean star, who launched his personal catchphrase “Dress classy and dance cheesy” after his record-breaking hit single “Gangnam Style” went viral, has become something of a fashion icon with his signature colored tuxedo jackets and black shades.

Psy had the opportunity to work with Rushka Bergman, known for his work with big name celebrities such as Michael Jackson and Lady Gaga, as well as Francesco Carrozzini, who has in the past worked with Robert De Niro, Scarlett Johansson, Beyonce and many others.

Psy is now the first Korean entertainer and only the second Korean ever to have graced the cover of the fashion magazine after the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
