Saint Levant Becomes Ambassador for Prada
Prada names Saint Levant global ambassador, uniting music, culture, and luxury fashion.
In a move that solidifies the intersection of music, culture, and high fashion, Italian luxury house Prada has officially named Palestinian-Algerian musician Saint Levant as its newest global ambassador. The announcement comes just months after the brand tapped Bella Hadid as its first-ever global ambassador, marking another significant step in Prada's strategy to engage with diverse, globally influential voices.

The appointment follows Saint Levant's (born Marwan Abdelhamid) prominent appearance at Prada's Spring 2027 Menswear show, held at the iconic Deposito within the Fondazione Prada in Milan. Seated alongside established Prada ambassadors such as Jaehyun and pop icon Troye Sivan, the Jerusalem-born artist appeared seamlessly integrated into the brand's elite circle. While his presence at fashion weeks has become increasingly common, this official title signals a shift from "front-row regular" to brand representative.
A Long Road to the Front Row
Saint Levant's relationship with the Italian powerhouse has been building for some time. His debut for the house occurred in January during the Fall 2026 menswear presentation, where he rubbed shoulders with other luminaries like Maya Hawke and Louis Partridge. Since then, he has steadily climbed the hierarchy of the industry, securing spots at major shows for Saint Laurent and Dior.
His influence extends beyond mere attendance; in 2023, Saint Levant made history as Dior's first-ever fragrance ambassador for the Middle East. That milestone underscored his rapidly expanding reach, transforming him from a viral music sensation—known for hits like "Galbi"—into a bona fide darling of the luxury world. With his multilingual appeal, massive global fanbase, and effortless personal style, he embodies the exact profile brands are now seeking to capture.
The Spring 2027 Collection Context
Saint Levant's latest runway appearance coincided with one of the most discussed collections of the season. Designed by creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, the Spring 2027 Menswear line was staged inside the brutalist beauty of the Deposito. The collection championed themes of "freedom, spontaneity, and youthful optimism," featuring tiny shorts, lightweight tailoring, sporty outerwear, and vibrant floral patterns. The aesthetic stood in stark contrast to the current fashion industry trend toward serious, somber tones, mirroring the rebellious yet joyful energy Saint Levant brings to his own work.
A Natural Fit
Industry analysts view the partnership as a logical evolution. Saint Levant occupies a rare space where art, cultural identity, and commercial relevance converge, making him an ideal face for a house that prides itself on intellectual yet accessible luxury.
"The front-row guest era is over, and the ambassador era has officially begun," noted fashion observers following the reveal. As Saint Levant steps into this new role, he joins a roster of talent that defines the modern face of Prada, promising campaigns and collaborations that will further blur the lines between the stage and the runway.
