In a statement on Kenzo’s official website, the brand’s artistic director Nigo said that he is “pleased and grateful to welcome Vernon into the Kenzo family”.
“I feel honoured and fortunate to be KENZO’s Global Ambassador,” Vernon said of the appointment. “I’m excited to explore the synergy this partnership will introduce and look forward to showcasing a new side of me to fans around the world.”

Meanwhile, SEVENTEEN recently re-released several older out-of-print albums, which were originally released from 2015 to 2018. It came just a month after the boyband made their return with their 10th mini-album ‘FML’.
