Dato' Michelle Yeoh is Balenciaga's latest ambassador
Balenciaga recently named a new brand ambassador, Malaysian actress Dato' Michelle Yeoh, who's known for her works in 'Crazy Rich Asians,' 'Everything Everywhere All At Once' and 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.'
Already close with the House, the legendary actress, producer, and martial artist of international renown announces with Balenciaga that their relationship will continue to grow in an official capacity.
Her new role is commemorated with a portrait by the documentary photographer Platon, who is known for capturing the world’s most prominent, fashionable, and revolutionary personalities as well as Balenciaga's previously named ambassadors
“I am thrilled to join Balenciaga as a brand ambassador,” says Yeoh. “For me, fashion is a form of art. It’s not just about a dress but about self-expression, how you feel in the dress, and the values you embody wearing it; it is a way to communicate my work and who I am to the world. Wearing Balenciaga makes me value the artistry and craftsmanship behind every piece. The brand embodies a sense of originality and relevance while always remaining true to its heritage as a couture atelier. It is an honor to partner with Balenciaga.”

Four women powerhouses photographed for Louis Vuitton's FW Women's Campaign
Louis Vuitton's latest Fall/Winter Women’s Fashion Campaign features four powerhouses who traverse the cityscape of Paris: House ambassadors Deepika Padukone, Hoyeon, Léa Seydoux, and actress, Elaine Zhong Chu Xi.
Lensed by photographer Ethan James Green and filmed by director Quentin Saunier, each actress brings a contemporary vision of femininity, notably to the bag she carries.
Across emblematic Parisian locations and showcasing looks from the Women’s Fall Winter 2023 collection, the campaign spots Hoyeon with her GO-14 slung over her shoulder as she pauses with a bicycle on the Pont Alexandre III, or catches Deepika Padukone standing on the rooftop of the Palais Galliera. The Eiffel Tower in the background, her GO-14 in contrasting colours blends sophistication with a sense of playfulness and echoes the latticework of France’s most celebrated monument.
Designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, Artistic Director of Women’s Collections, as a tribute to the ingenuity of Louis Vuitton’s master trunkmakers, the GO-14 bag reprises the savoir-faire behind malletage, the cross-hatched motif of the lid lining inside Louis Vuitton trunks.
