To celebrate the enduring power of heritage and modernity, Louis Vuitton unveils a new campaign starring Zendaya — actress, cultural force, and one of the most influential fashion figures of her generation. The collaboration reinforces the Maison’s ability to bridge generations while remaining undeniably relevant in today’s visual and cultural landscape.
Shot by Glen Luchford and creatively directed by Roman Coppola, the campaign revisits the iconic Louis Vuitton monogram and the legendary Speedy bag through a contemporary lens. Zendaya appears confident and commanding, wearing tailored silhouettes and an edgy cropped hairstyle, proving once again that reinvention is at the heart of true luxury.
“Louis Vuitton is more than fashion — it’s a story that connects generations,” Zendaya reflects in the context of the campaign, emphasizing the emotional and cultural depth behind the house’s legacy.
A Dialogue Between Past and Present
Rather than relying solely on nostalgia, the campaign elevates classic codes through bold styling and cinematic imagery. The Speedy bag, a timeless symbol of the Maison, becomes a narrative tool — not just an accessory, but a reflection of continuity and evolution.
Zendaya has often spoken about her relationship with fashion as something deeply personal and intentional:
“If I invest in something, I want it to last. I love pieces that feel timeless, but still reflect who I am today,” she has shared in previous fashion conversations.
This philosophy aligns seamlessly with Louis Vuitton’s DNA. The brand’s craftsmanship, longevity, and cultural impact resonate with Zendaya’s own journey — one defined by growth, versatility, and authenticity.
Why Zendaya, Why Now
The choice of Zendaya as the face of this campaign feels instinctive. She represents a new era of luxury — one where elegance meets individuality, and influence is built on substance as much as style. Effortlessly moving between cinema, fashion, and social commentary, she embodies the modern woman Louis Vuitton speaks to.
More than a campaign, this collaboration stands as a visual manifesto: heritage does not mean static, and modernity does not require erasing the past. Together, Zendaya and Louis Vuitton prove that true icons evolve — without losing their essence.
