LALISA Named First-Ever Kith Women Guest Designer, Co-Designs Spring 2026

Lalisa Manobal, LALISA of BLACKPINK, was announced as the "first-ever Guest Designer for Kith Women," stepping into a co-design role with Kith founder Ronnie Fieg as the label rolled out Kith Women Spring 2026: Designed by LISA; the collection arrived in February 2026. Kith frames the project as a hands-on partnership rather than a standard ambassador tie, a clear elevation of LISA’s relationship with the brand after her appearance in the Kith Women Summer 2024 campaign.

The collection lands as a cohesive ready-to-wear assortment centered on two named archetypes: "Hopeless Romantic" and "After Dark." Kith’s product copy calls it "a focus on artisanal ready-to-wear silhouettes, the first of its kind compared to Kith Women seasonal collections," and highlights convertible and modular details that push the drop beyond simple logo drops into garment engineering.

Standouts in the drop read like a capsule built for texture: the Hera Convertible Leather Coat is "made of pure lambskin leather and featuring multiple zip-off seams for transitional wear," the Brei Embellished Bolero Jacket arrives "with encrusted detailing throughout the composition," and denim gets a punk edge in the Deion Studded Denim Jacket paired with the matching Nari Mini Skirt. Intimates and layering are treated with as much intent: Kith lists "intricate floral lace intimates," "modal cotton layering pieces," and "a capsule of exclusive graphics" across tops, bottoms, and dresses that the brand says are "designed for optimal wearability."

Industry coverage framed LISA’s new title as a creative step rather than a title change. Thefashionography ran the headline "LISA Moves From Campaign Star to Guest Designer for Kith Women," noting she "moves past the standard 'face of' contract to take a seat at the drafting table as Guest Designer." Hypebeast added that "This collaboration allows the artist to shape select collections through her unique perspective, beginning with an inaugural release titled Kith Women Spring 2026: Designed by LISA," underscoring that Ronnie Fieg’s team is effectively betting on her design instincts.

The timing feels calculated: Hypebeast pointed out the announcement "arrives during a prolific period for the artist, who recently released her debut solo album, Alter Ego, and expanded her acting portfolio with a role in HBO’s The White Lotus," while her ambassadorships for Louis Vuitton and Bulgari add luxury credibility to a streetwear-luxe partnership. Kith’s prior use of LISA in its Summer 2024 campaign is cited across outlets as the visual groundwork for this deeper creative collaboration.

Kith’s site copy confirms the campaign "stars Lisa," though one supplied excerpt of the campaign text is truncated: "The campaign, which stars Lisa and visualizes a transform", leaving the full creative brief and campaign credits unavailable in the materials released. Pricing, full SKU lists, distribution details, and production credits were not included in the public product copy; expect further rollout details from Kith closer to in-store and online availability.

This is a sharp pivot for Kith Women: a named guest designer, artisanal ready-to-wear ambitions, and specific pieces built around lambskin construction, encrusted boleros, studded denim, and lace intimates. Whether LISA’s eye for stage-ready glamour translates to lasting apparel hits is now Kith’s wager, and the Spring 2026 drop is the first concrete proof point.
