Scene setters
Few things get fashion talking quite like a well-timed celebrity appointment. It’s a formula the industry knows well, but the stakes feel higher now. One name, one campaign, and suddenly a brand is back at the centre of the conversation. It is a calculated move on both sides, and when it lands, everyone wins. This year has already delivered a string of headline-making signings. Here are the ones worth clocking.

Julia Garner becomes Loewe’s first global brand ambassador under Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, marking an early defining move in their tenure at the House. The designers describe a shared curiosity that drew them to the actress. “We admire those who dare to explore: Julia certainly has that ceaseless curiosity, and we are proud to see her bring this to Loewe,” they said. Garner aligns closely with that vision, pointing to a mutual sense of creative freedom. “The House celebrates individuality and allows space for exploration. I feel that same permission in my own career—to take risks, to choose complexity, to grow.”
