NCT fans, you’re in for a real treat.
Listen up, K-Pop fans! Ferragamo has just appointed its very first male global ambassador, and it’s none other than NCT’s Jeno Lee. This partnership was a long time coming and resulted from a growing relationship between the Italian luxury fashion house and the musician. During the Fall/Winter 2023 runway show in February, the K-pop artist was seen attending and participating in various activations for the luxury label.
Taken from a statement, Creative Director Maximilian Davis expressed, “Jeno Lee’s captivating personality and ability to connect with international young audiences, through his music, style and persona is exceptional. We’re driven by the same passion in our creativity and feel fortunate to have him join Ferragamo.”
Jeno Lee said: “It is such an honour to be a global ambassador for Ferragamo, a brand with an incredible heritage, craftsmanship and style. I am very excited to create a synergy with the brand and looking forward to disclosing our future projects! Stay tuned on both of us!”
As we await for more news, we can’t wait to see what’s in store for Jeno. For more info, head over to the website.
Who is Jeno Lee?
The multi-talented South Korean rapper is currently known for being the leading star of NCT Dream. Formed in January 2016, the group currently consists of 20 members. It is also divided into five sub-units: NCT U, NCT 127, NCT Dream, WayV, and NCT DoJaeJung.
