Fashion headlines rarely hold attention for long, but this one kept circulating. BLACKPINK's Lisa has officially been named Kith Women's first-ever guest designer, with her role confirmed across the Spring 2026 women's collection. The project is credited as Designed by Lisa and was created in direct collaboration with Kith founder Ronnie Fieg. The collection dropped on February 20, 2026, placing both the artist and the brand firmly in the spotlight.
Lisa Takes on a Design Role at Kith Women
Kith confirmed that Lisa participated directly in the design process for the Spring 2026 collection. Her involvement covered creative discussions, concept direction, and product development alongside Ronnie Fieg and the Kith Women team. This appointment marks the first time Kith Women has named a guest designer. The brand has historically maintained close control over its collections, making this collaboration a notable shift in its creative structure. The collection title places clear authorship on Lisa's role and establishes her presence within the brand's design credits.
Two Themes Define the Collection
The Spring 2026 lineup is shaped by two distinct archetypes: Hopeless Romantic and After Dark. These themes reflect Lisa's own adaptability and personal fashion sensibility, which frequently surfaces through tailored silhouettes, streetwear influences, and luxury references. Standout pieces include the Hera Convertible Leather Coat, the Brei Embellished Bolero Jacket, and the Cerise Leather Pants, each crafted in lambskin. Accessories include the Piper II micro-hobo bag in mesh tulle and the Luna II in smooth leather.
A Relationship That Continued to Grow
Lisa's connection with Kith Women began before this announcement. She previously appeared in the Kith Women Summer 2024 campaign, which introduced her to the label's audience through a fashion-focused collaboration. Following that campaign, conversations between Lisa and the Kith team continued, gradually expanding her involvement into creative input and design collaboration — culminating in the Spring 2026 project. The collection confirms her role within the creative process, positioning her well beyond promotional material.
A Career Spanning Music, Acting, and Fashion
Lisa continues to maintain an active schedule across multiple creative fields. At 28, she recently released her solo album Alter Ego and appeared in HBO's The White Lotus. She is also attached to an upcoming film project titled Tygo. Alongside her entertainment work, Lisa remains associated with luxury fashion houses Louis Vuitton and Bulgari. The Kith Women guest designer credit adds a formal design role to her portfolio while her existing brand partnerships remain in place.
February 2026 Release
The Designed by Lisa collection became available on February 20, 2026, at 11 AM EST across all Kith shops worldwide — New York, London, Paris, and Tokyo — as well as online and on the Kith app. Additional campaign visuals, including an Instagram reveal on February 16, built anticipation ahead of launch. With authorship established, timing confirmed, and a full women's collection credited to her name, Lisa's role at Kith Women stands as a clear development in her fashion career heading into Spring 2026.
