Willow Smith has been named Chanel’s latest ambassadress.
The singer and actress has worn Chanel since 2013 and first met Karl Lagerfeld in 2014. She also attended the brand’s catwalk show yesterday wearing a futuristic catsuit and monochrome ankle boots – both by Chanel.
This isn’t her first big fashion job – last year she was chosen to front Marc Jacobs’ autumn/winter 2015 campaign.
Smith, 15, launched her latest surprise album without any pre promotion in December 2015. She named it Ardipithecus, after Ardipithecus Ramidus – the scientific name of the first hominid bones found on earth.
“I wanted to name my musical compilation after it because, while I was making these songs I was in such a transitional state,” she said at the time. “Digging deep in the soil of my heart and finding bits and pieces of my ancient self that tell stories, which end up being lyrics to songs. Ardipithecusis my first album in my entire career and it makes me feel so blessed to be able to share my evolution with the Lighteaters as I continue excavating my inner worlds…”
So that’s Willow Smith. It comes as no surprise that Lagerfeld has enlisted such a fascinating, unconventional and creative individual as his new muse – she seems as otherworldly as he is.
