Prada introduces its newest ambassadors: Red Velvet’s Irene Bae and EXO’s Chanyeol Park
From Blackpink Rosé’s appointment at Saint Laurent to EXO’s Kai’s reign at Gucci, it’s safe to say that K-pop is taking over the fashion world, and it’s definitely not stopping anytime soon. The latest brand that has jumped on the bandwagon? Prada and its new brand ambassadors, Red Velvet’s Irene Bae and EXO’s Chanyeol Park. To mark the announcement, the duo showcased their charm in a special shoot, featuring the brand’s Autumn/Winter 20 collection.
The Coach x Jean-Michel Basquiat collection is here
The unveiling of the collaboration during New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2021 has set the fashion (and art) world abuzz since last September. Now, the Coach x Jean-Michel Basquiat collection is finally here and it’s the fashion-art crossover you never knew you needed. From ready-to-wear pieces to bags, the artist’s signature graffiti can be spotted peppered on the pieces.
The brand released its global campaign starring Jennifer Lopez, Michael B. Jordan, Jeremy Lin, and Basquiat’s niece, Jessica Kelly earlier this month, but locally, Coach has also teamed up with the local It-list to celebrate the launch. Nur Fazura, Fattah Amin, Joe Flizzow, and Yuna were some of the celebrities in the mix, alongside fashion influencers Jane Chuck, Ashley Lau, Juwei Teoh, Brian See, and more.
Coach x Jean-Michel Basquait is now available in stores.

The capsule collection is comprised of streetwear favourites including utilitarian puffer jackets and trench coats, matching co-ords, and hoodies and track pants, which will undoubtedly appeal to the younger generation (and their other half).
