Chanel appoints A$AP Rocky as its new brand ambassador, citing his “limitless creativity” and alignment with the house’s evolving vision. Artistic director Matthieu Blazy praises Rocky’s multi-dimensional persona—musician, actor, father, friend.

The announcement comes with a Michel Gondry short film featuring Rocky opposite Margaret Qualley. Rocky notes Blazy’s designs strike a balance between strength and sensitivity, grounded yet imaginative.

This follows a year that includes a not-guilty verdict in a Hollywood shooting trial, the birth of his third child with Rihanna, and appearances at Rolling Loud and in films with Denzel Washington and Rose Byrne.
