Over 80 million people singing along to “It Makes You Forget”, the FIFA19 soundtrack. And how can we ever forget C2C18, when she came onstage in a Juventus shirt, conquering the hearts of fans on the dancefloor and beyond. Countless underground dates have made Peggy Gou the DJ who’s everyone’s friend and a real star on the house and techno scene.
In addition to asserting herself so energetically in the music industry, she has also moved into fashion: at the last Paris Fashion Week, she presented her Kirin (“giraffe” in Korean) line, produced in collaboration with the Milanese New Guards Group – which Virgil Abloh also calls home. And she didn’t miss the opportunity to become a testimonial for Nike, participating in the launch event for the latest Air Max 720 model – and consequently having her face posted all over Berlin.
She’s already achieved a lot, but we have no doubt that she’ll continue to climb because the secret to her popularity is not so much in the content as in the form, her ability to communicate with simplicity. That’s why she’s the friendly giraffe DJ.
