Estée Lauder names Adut Akech as Global Brand Ambassador

Back in the 1980s, Estée Lauder’s brand ambassador was Willow Bay, now Dean of the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Paulina Porizkova replaced Willow Bay as Estée Lauder’s brand ambassador, and subsequently, Elizabeth Hurley became Estée Lauder’s brand ambassador.

In other words, it took Estée Lauder years to recognize women of color. Now it has signed fashion model Adut Akech, who was born in South Sudan. Her first campaigns will debut next month, in July 2021.

I am convinced that some models create an archetype for upcoming models. I think that Alek Wek, who is also from what is now South Sudan, is the archetype for Adut Akech.

Stay Klossy! Estée Lauder names Karlie Kloss as its new brand ambassador

Estée Lauder named Karlie Kloss as its new brand ambassador.  Karlie’s already had a gig with L’Oréal.

According to WWD, Karlie’s production company will produce content for her and Estée Lauder’s social channels; in addition, the brand will support her Kode with Klossy summer camp, in which teenage girls learn to code.

I’m obsessed with Karlie Kloss.  She’s from my hometown of Webster Groves, MO, so I take vicarious pleasure in seeing her in magazines and larger-than-life visuals.  Check out my Stay Klossy board on Pinterest: 3329 pins and counting!
