Gucci Names Stray Kids' Lee Know Global Brand Ambassador

Gucci revealed on Monday that it has named South Korean singer Lee Know as its latest global brand ambassador.

"The House is happy to reveal the appointment of Lee Know from Stray Kids as a new Global Brand Ambassador. Upon receiving the news, Lee Know shared his excitement for his role, “I believe Gucci is a brand that transcends the past and present through heritage and contemporary creativity," the brand said in a statement.

The appointment of the member of the K-pop sensation Stray Kids comes as no surprise, as the artist has worn Gucci both at official events and in editorial appearances. 

Last year, he also attended the Florentine house’s cruise 2025 fashion show in London, further strengthening its ties with the Kering-owned company. In his new role, Lee Know will be even more involved in Gucci’s events and initiatives.

“I believe Gucci is a brand that transcends the past and present through heritage and contemporary creativity. It’s a great honor to be part of Gucci’s visionary journey,” the K-pop idol added.

Since his debut with Stray Kids in 2018, Lee Know has become a multifaceted and versatile artist, affirming himself not only as a performer but also as a songwriter and composer.

The band overall has turned to be one of the biggest acts in music in just a few years. It was formed by JYP Entertainment through the 2017 reality show of the same name and includes other seven members: I.N, Bang Chan, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, and Seungmin.

In January 2018, Stray Kids released their first EP, and since then, it has been all upward for the band. Their music success has gone hand-in-hand with the increasing attention of the fashion industry. For example, most recently, I.N was tapped as both Bottega Veneta and Damiani ambassador, while Fendi, Versace, and Louis Vuitton have tapped Bang Chan, Hyunjin, and Felix, respectively, for similar roles.

Stray Kids is currently on its third world tour, titled “DominATE,” which began in Seoul in August last year and will wrap up in Italy on July 30 with a final event at the Stadio Olimpico stadium in Rome.
