LISA Becomes Kith Women Guest Designer
Global K-pop star LISA has been appointed as Kith Women's first-ever celebrity Guest Designer, marking a significant partnership between K-pop and streetwear. The collaboration signals the growing influence of K-pop on global fashion and represents an exciting chapter for the label. New collections are expected to blend LISA's iconic style with Kith's street sensibility.
- This marks the first time Kith Women has appointed a celebrity Guest Designer, a role that involved LISA in the entire design process, from initial concepts and fabric selection to the first sample fittings. - The collaboration grew organically after LISA starred in the brand's Summer 2024 campaign, with Kith founder Ronnie Fieg noting her detail-oriented approach as a key reason for extending the partnership. - The Spring 2026 collection is structured around two distinct concepts: "Hopeless Romantic," which features airy white fabrics and lace, and "After Dark," which uses gunmetal and black tones with materials like lambskin leather and mesh. - Specific pieces in the collection include a modular Hera Convertible Leather Coat made from lambskin, a crystal-encrusted Brei Bolero Jacket, a Piper II micro-hobo bag in mesh tulle, and a lace crochet balaclava. - While LISA has been a global ambassador for luxury brands such as Celine, Bulgari, and Louis Vuitton, this Kith collaboration is her first official foray into co-designing a full fashion collection. - Kith's womenswear line was first launched in December 2015 after the brand noticed that the smallest sizes of its menswear were frequently selling out to female customers. - The collection is set to be released globally on February 20th at all Kith flagship stores and online.
