Welcome to the Week in Fashion, Bazaar’s at-a-glance guide to what the industry is talking about.
Kaia Gerber Stars in Sarah Burton’s First Givenchy Campaign
Introducing Givenchy by Sarah Burton. For the creative director’s debut campaign for the luxury French fashion house, she recruited none other than Kaia Gerber to model her new designs.
The campaign was directed by Halina Reijn, who captures Gerber in puffy white babydoll dresses, metallic heels, lacy gowns, and more, with some of the shots even featuring Reijn, who is seen adjusting Gerber’s clothes in the shots.
In a statement to WWD, Burton said: “Kaia Gerber and Halina Reijn captured something I love about how creative women collaborate. The idea behind my first campaign for Givenchy was to focus on the friendship between a film director and an actress. I wanted it to celebrate the female gaze.”

Jeremy Allen White Becomes an Ambassador for Louis Vuitton
Jeremy Allen White is swapping his Calvins for something a little different. Throughout the past year, The Bear actor has starred in a number of high-profile fashion campaigns for Calvin Klein, Saint Laurent, and more. Now, he’s been named as an ambassador for Louis Vuitton.
The news was shared on Tuesday, along with a statement from Pharrell, the creative director of menswear, who said, “Together, we are ready to amplify a new wave, that redefines timeless style.” The designer added: “Jeremy’s got a quiet confidence and authenticity that you can’t fake. It’s effortless. At Louis Vuitton, it’s about real people who move culture forward—and Jeremy lives that. We’re proud to welcome him into the family.”
Recently, the Emmy-winning actor has worn the luxury fashion brand on a number of red carpets, from the Met Gala to the SAG Awards to an evening celebrating season four of The Bear.
Sabrina Carpenter Embraces Her Inner Barbie for Versace
Is Sabrina Carpenter about to bring back Barbie summer? At the end of April, the “Espresso” singer starred in a beachy La Vacanza campaign for Versace, where she looked ready to spend her summer by the shore, all while wearing fabulous Italian high fashion. Now, the fashion house has unveiled a new campaign video continuing the series, where Carpenter appears to be embracing her inner Barbie.
Directed by Carlijn Jacobs, the clip sees the singer walking around in a sequined pink minidress with matching stilettos and her signature blonde bombshell hair.
The clip comes on the heels of Carpenter’s announcement that her seventh studio album, Man’s Best Friend, will be out August 29. With a couple more months of promo to go, there will likely be more of Carpenter in Versace too.
Harris Dickinson Is the New Face of Rhode Skincare
It’s been a big few weeks for Hailey Bieber’s beauty empire, Rhode. At the end of May, it was revealed that Bieber had sold her company to E.l.f. Beauty for a cool billion dollars. Now, a campaign has been unveiled to support the brand’s new glazing mist, which uses some serious star power in the form of Babygirl actor Harris Dickinson.
Dickinson becomes the first male face of the skincare brand, signaling a new chapter for the company in the wake of the acquisition.
“I watched [Babygirl] and I thought it was so great,” Bieber said in a statement to WWD. “I knew for this campaign that I really, really wanted to use a male face. I’m just really a fan of his work and I just felt like there could be really good synergy between him and Rhode.”
She added: “Women have gravitated towards [Rhode] mostly, but my husband [Justin Bieber] has used Rhode since its inception and I really wanted all of the packaging to feel as unisex as possible.”

The Twelfth Iteration of Prada Mode Lands in Osaka, Japan
For the latest iteration of Prada Mode, the traveling cultural club hosted by the titular Italian fashion house, the team brought the festivities to Osaka, Japan, where a pair of events were hosted alongside Inujima Project in collaboration with architect Kazuyo Sejima.
This is the second time the group has collaborated with the director of Kazuyo Sejima & Associates and co-founder of SANAA, and the itinerary is centered around her projects in Inujima. To celebrate the event, the co-hosts also unveiled a new permanent pavilion at Inujima Life Garden, which was designed by Sejima and donated to the island by Prada.
“On Inujima, a tiny island rich in nature, visitors will encounter and experience ‘Symbiosis’—a landscape that combines history, architecture, art, and daily life,” Sejima said in a statement. “In Osaka, a city with historical ties to Inujima, this experience will be shared and expanded to reach a wider audience. At this edition of Prada Mode, ‘Symbiosis’ will take shape through conversations and discoveries, creating a new landscape that continues to grow with the participation of all.”
Prada Mode Osaka and the Inujima Project opened on June 4 and will last through June 15.
