Michelle and Del Rey have worked together before, and Michelle has stated Lana has always been an artistic muse for his work. At the Met Gala in May 2025, Lana was styled in a deep brown drop waist gown with her iconic alligator hair piece, originating from Michelles Vertigineux collection.

Prior to designing for Valentino, Michelle worked as the Creative Director for Gucci from January 2015 until November 2022. After seven years, Michelle’s interest in maximalism had grown and Gucci’s parent company, Kering, decided to release Michelle due to his growing interest. There were questions about whether Michelle could retain Gucci’s reputation with his style. When asked about the parting, Michelle remains grateful,
“There are times when path’s part ways because of the different perspectives each one of us may have” (Alessandro Michelle).

Inflated, modern silhouettes and the unity of all the brand’s characteristics.

The POWER OF THREE signifies the multi-cultural use of the brand in music, street culture, and film. Hosting the event here is notable to adidas due to their recent advancements in the Chinese market. With more than 100 looks, the show was lit up with street energy, eastern sounds, and culture to celebrate modern sport.
Aside from their renowned footwear, this show presented a combination of all the brand’s peaks created by the imaginative local artists. This collection was about collaborating the classic and timeless three-stripe with the modern, chic takes on street style. Vintage features embrace the overall collection with collars, cardigans, and sharp shoulders adorning the runway. Such features are styled with adidas’ avant-garde athleisure, like their gloves and vests, to fabricate a special and polished look. The model’s accessories touched base on the vintage aspects as well.

Their plush athletic shoes were showcased as well with cargo shorts and large, fashionable backpacks, and fitted gloves to stay warm and look good.
