We didn't need the era of influencers to know how important it is for fashion brands to have ambassadors supporting their efforts to sell products. However, in 2023, the rise of brands announcing Global Ambassadors to help with positioning in the fashion market has reached an all-time high. Within the last year alone, luxury fashion houses from Dior to Louis Vuitton have added new brand faces to front their brand's advertising and social outreach efforts. But what does a global ambassador title mean in fashion?

What is Global Ambassador's meaning in fashion?

In fashion, a global ambassador is a paid liaison, often someone of high esteem in the public eye, representing a brand's voice and attitude through a long-term partnership. A global ambassador may promote products on behalf of the brand, attend their fashion shows, appear in advertising, and wear the brand's clothing to notable events, amongst other things, to boost brand awareness and messaging.

Now that we know what a Global Ambassador is in fashion, let's meet the seven notable faces representing Prada globally.
