The highest number of collaborations were proposed by Louis Vuitton - with BamBam (Kunpimook Bhuwakul) in 2024, Dew Jirawat Sutivanichsak in 2023, Lisa (Lalisa Manobal) in 2024, Tu Tontawan Tantivejakul in 2023, Urassaya “Yaya” Sperbund in 2023 and Yaya Urasayya in 2025, and Dior - with Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat in 2023, Jirayu “James” Tangsrisuk in 2022, Phakphum “Mile” Romsaithong in 2023 and Tu Tontawan Tantivejakul in 2024.

Celebrities with Multi-Brand Partnerships
While focusing on Thai celebrities, we can notice that most of the icons have multiple collaborations. Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat joined Dior and Piaget in 2022. Dew Jirawat Sutivanichsak is with Bottega Veneta and Onitsuka Tiger from 2024, Louis Vuitton, and Emporio Armani from 2023. Lisa (Lalisa Manobal) of Thai origin collaborated with Bulgari in 2024, Celine in 2020, and Louis Vuitton in 2024. Jeff Worakamol Satur teamed up with Cartier, Ray-Ban, and Valentino in 2024. Bright Vachirawit joined forces with Adidas in 2021 and Burberry as well as Calvin Klein in 2023.
Gen Z Stars and K-Pop Influence in Brand Strategy
There has been a hike in collaborations with Gen Z-engaging stars. For instance, Ten from NCT is repping Saint Laurent in 2024. Lisa of BLACKPINK is the face of Bulgari, Celine, and Louis Vuitton. These types of partnerships paved the way for the brands to connect with K-Pop fans around the world and the celebrities to blend more with the culture and heritage of their origin.
Gender-Neutral Fashion and Male Representation
The Thai entertainment industry is also welcoming gender-neutral content such as KinnPorsche, 2gether, and My School President. With this, men like Apo Nattawin (Dior 2023 and Piaget 2022) and PP Krit (Balenciaga 2023) are reshaping masculine looks in fashion. There is also a rise in male ambassadors in a traditionally female-centric brand which reflects the evolving fashion and beauty standards as well as inclusive marketing.
