Blackpink’s Lisa is expanding her creative footprint beyond music and acting with a new role in fashion design.
The global pop star, actor and style icon has been named guest designer for Kith Women’s Spring 2026 collection, scheduled to release on February 20. This aligns with the start of the spring retail season, and marks as her first official design collaboration with the New York based brand.
The appointment builds naturally on a relationship that began in front of the camera. Lisa starred in Kith Women’s Summer 2024 campaign, a quietly confident outing built around warm weather travel ready pieces and relaxed silhouettes that resonated with the brand’s growing women’s audience.
That collaboration was less about spectacle and more about alignment. The ’24 campaign featured lightweight silks, linen, satin and crochet textures, land introduced Lisa not only as a face for Kith but as someone attuned to how clothes move, layer and live.
Spring 2026 takes that connection further. This time, Lisa moves from muse to collaborator, working closely with Kith founder and creative director Ronnie Fieg throughout the design process.
According to the brand, despite a demanding global schedule, she remained closely involved throughout the design process, contributing during fittings, reviews and concept discussions, often dialing in remotely via Zoom while on tour or film sets. The hands on approach has been positioned as central to the collection rather than symbolic.
The Spring 2026 collection blends Kith’s core visual language with Lisa’s own sense of versatility. Expect sporty outerwear, subtle jacquard textures and logo knits shaped through a more fluid, adaptable lens. The result reflects a wardrobe built for movement between public life and private moments rather than a celebrity capsule built on name recognition alone. Clearly, it balances that mirrors Lisa’s own rhythm rather than leaning into overt celebrity cues.
The timing is notable for Kith Women, which continues to define its identity a decade after launching. While Kith Men has long been known for high profile collaborations, the women’s line has expanded more selectively. The Lisa project arrives as the brand celebrates its 15th anniversary and introduces its first loyalty exclusive collection of the year, signaling a broader moment of reflection and growth for the company.
Lisa’s fashion profile has grown steadily in parallel with her music career, and this latest collaboration represents a thoughtful expansion of her creative scope. Beyond Kith, she serves as a global ambassador for Louis Vuitton and appeared alongside Saoirse Ronan in the house’s Spring 2025 campaign photographed by Steven Meisel. Her transition into design reflects a broader shift across entertainment, where artists increasingly seek creative authorship rather than endorsement roles.
For Kith, the Spring 2026 collection underscores a belief in its women’s line as a serious fashion offering. For Lisa, the collab places her not just within fashion’s conversation, but quietly inside its process.
