Kendrick Lamar Is Chanel’s Newest Ambassador
Kendrick Lamar has officially joined Chanel as the brand’s latest ambassador. As the first and only rapper to win a Pulitzer Prize, Lamar’s impact extends far beyond music, and his influence on culture is undeniable. Fresh off launching his joint tour with SZA, Lamar debuts Chanel’s new eyewear campaign, rolling out today, April 21. Known for its traditionally elegant image, Chanel’s partnership with the outspoken artist could mark a bold new chapter, both for the house and for Lamar himself.
“Chanel has a timeless legacy, and that is always something I can get behind. Since they don’t make clothes for men, I knew it would have to be glasses,” Lamar tells Business of Fashion.
Zendaya Stars In Louis Vuitton’s 2025 Resort Campaign
Louis Vuitton’s latest women’s campaign featuring Zendaya radiates pure summer energy, channeling a nostalgic ’70s aesthetic set against the dreamy backdrop of the Italian Riviera. Reminiscent of her striking visuals in the Louis Vuitton x Murakami collaboration, Zendaya appears larger than life—a playful, surreal perspective that echoes the artistic whimsy of that iconic collection. One standout piece in the campaign is the Capucines bag, reimagined in a breezy wicker material, a chic and practical choice for high-summer heat, capturing effortless elegance with a seasonal twist.
