Celine Proudly Announces BLACKPINK’s Lisa Its Global Ambassador

Celine officially made its partnership with Blackpink's Lisa as Hedi Slimane selected the k-pop star to shine in her own gig.

The designer and rapper had been in a great relationship with the French fashion house over the past year, with Slimane photographing the k-pop star for the Celine Essentials campaign back in June.

"We are pleased to announce the continued collaboration of Celine with Lisa, who will represent the house as global ambassador," the brand stated in an official announcement on Tuesday.

The k-pop star has been a fan of Celine for quite some time now, attending its runway shows in Paris and visiting the brand's high-end boutiques.

Lisa showed her genuine enthusiasm and excitement over her new role,

"To me, Celine is unrivaled, and Hedi Slimane has such a multifaceted talent—from clothing design to photography," Lisa said of her new role. "He creates this rare, incredible, and desirable world through his vision. I'm always inspired by his work. It's truly an honor and pleasure to be able to work with Hedi as Celine's first ambassador."

Apart from Celine, Lisa recently became Bvlgari's ambassador for Korea. Other Blackpink members are also faces for high-fashion brands: Jennie for Chanel, Jisoo for Dior, and Rosé for Yves Saint Laurent.

The girls believe that fashion is as important and inspiring as music,

"Fashion definitely empowers us as much as music does," Jennie told ELLE in the group's recent cover story. The two "cannot be separated," Rosé added.

Blackpink has their debut album, The Album, which will arrive on October 2.

The eagerly anticipated work includes already released singles "How You Like That" and "Ice Cream," their collab with the superstar Selena Gomez.
