Pehrt: Haerin of NewJeans

Pehrt is a balletcore dream. Led by the ‘off-duty’ dancer aesthetic—brought to life in pleated skirts, cardigans, leg warmers, jogger pants and ribbon-led details—Pehrt’s catalogue is one you’ll find a perfect meld with the youth’s playful wardrobe. And it’s no surprise that it’s the girls of NewJeans who have been wearing their pieces; most recently, both Haerin and Hanni slipped into its skirt options for their viral music video for one of their catchy new tunes ‘ETA’.
