Gucci Names Stray Kids' Lee Know Global Brand Ambassador
Yara Sameh 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. read more 15 Ludicrous Cosplay Costumes That Will Blow You Away Watch...

Biomaterials firm shakes up leadership as it preps for commercial growth
This story was originally published on Fashion Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Fashion Dive newsletter. Biomaterials startup Gozen has named a new CEO as it prepares for 'its next stage of commercial growth,' the company said in a news release last week. Ece Gözen, the company's co-founder, is stepping down from the CEO role to become chief innovation officer and creative director. In her place, Sedef Uncu Aki will become CEO. Uncu Aki was most recently the startup's chief product officer, a role she's held since January 2024. Prior to joining Gozen, she worked at denim brand Orta Anadolu and Bossa. The leadership changes come a few months after the biomaterials company opened a 40,000-square-foot production facility in Turkey to expand the reach of Gozen's leather alternative material Lunaform at scale. The new leadership structure will support the ongoing rollout of Lunaform following the adoption of the material by brand partners Beymen Collection and Kering-owned Balenciaga, Gozen said in the release. Gozen was founded in 2022, and it made its debut during Balenciaga's Paris Fashion Week runway show in the fall of 2023. The startup is now looking to deliver Lunaform across product industries in mass, premium and luxury segments, per the release. Pelin Gözen, Gozen's other co-founder and chief operating officer, will remain in her role and continue to lead the company's product roadmap and operations. Po Bronson, managing director of SOSV, a Gozen investor, said the new team structure gives the startup the ability to scale with focus and the ability to harness its creative capabilities, 'exactly what's needed to continue growing the adoption of Lunaform.' Gozen's other investors include Happiness Capital, Accelr8 and Astor Management.

Pierpaolo Piccioli Named Balenciaga's New Creative Director
After weeks of rumor-milling speculation,Pierpaolo Picciolihas officially been namedBalenciaga'snew creative director. The formerValentinodesigner will begin his new role on July 10, and his first collection for the Kering-owned brand will be revealed in October. In a statement, Piccioli said, 'Balenciaga is what it is today thanks to all the people who have paved the way. In all its phases, while constantly evolving and changing, it has never lost track of the House's aesthetic values. What I am receiving is a brand full of possibilities that is incredibly fascinating.' Picciolibid farewelltoValentinoin March of last year, after 25 years at the Italian fashion house (and 16 as creative director). In a mutual agreement with the brand, the designer had already departed from the label at the time of the announcement, meaning hisFall 2024 collection, shown during Paris Fashion Week in February of last year, marked his final output for Valentino. He'll take Balenciaga's reins from Demna, who's scheduled to reveal his final couture collection for the House this July before heading to Gucci. Like him or not, Demna transformed Balenciaga into one of the most coveted labels on the modern market, and he's widely celebrated for his fashion week spectacles — be they windstruck snowstorms, murky mud baths, or dystopic stock exchanges — as well as the needle-pushing wardrobes and all-star front-rows that accompanied them, which, altogether, often staked a claim as the most talked-about show during any fashion week. Piccioli, who's lauded for his innovative couture, striking color palettes (Valentino Pink, in particular, was a massive success), and his ability to bring traditional design techniques into the modern day, boasts a design language imbued with unequivocal romanticism similar to that of Cristóbal Balenciaga himself. Piccioli's Balenciaga will look much different from Demna's, to say the least. 'I must first and foremost thank Demna,' Piccioli continued. 'I've always admired his talent and vision. I couldn't ask for a better passing of the torch. This gives me the chance to shape a new version of the Maison, adding another chapter with a new story.' Balenciaga CEO Gianfranco Gianangeli said he was 'excited' about this 'new era' for the brand. '[Pierpaolo's] creative vision will thrive, and he will perfectly interpret the legacy of Cristóbal Balenciaga, building on the House's bold creativity, rich heritage and strong culture,' he added. '[Pierpaolo] is one of the most talented and celebrated designers of today,' affirmed Kering Deputy CEO Francesca Bellettini. 'His mastery of Haute Couture, his creative voice, and his passion for savoir-faire made him the ideal choice for the House.' With culture-shifting design abilities, myriad high-profile co-signers, and a legion of cult followers, Piccioli is well-positioned to succeed in the House's top seat. How exactly the designer's Balenciaga will manifest is still up for debate, but stay tuned for Piccioli's debut this October.
