Jisoo Leads Salomon's Fall/Winter 2026 'In the Open' Campaign

Miuccia Prada

Head of the Prada fashion house and intellectual designer known for defining modern minimalist and innovative fashion.

Blackpink star Jisoo steps into the spotlight as the global ambassador for Salomon's Fall/Winter 2026 'In the Open' campaign, marking a significant moment where high fashion seamlessly merges with outdoor performance. This collaboration showcases Salomon's evolving presence from specialized hiking gear to a celebrated style icon on city streets.

Redefining Style: Where Performance Meets Urban Elegance

The Ascent of Salomon: From Trails to Trends

Salomon's footwear, once primarily known for its rugged technical attributes, has experienced a remarkable transition into mainstream fashion. What began as essential equipment for outdoor adventurers has now found its place on urban sidewalks and within the curated collections of style influencers. This shift underscores a broader trend where functional design is increasingly valued for its aesthetic appeal.

Jisoo's Endorsement: A Natural Alignment of Comfort and Style

Jisoo, the acclaimed Blackpink vocalist and Salomon global ambassador, is at the forefront of the brand's latest campaign. She highlights her personal affinity for comfort and effortless mobility in her daily life, stating that Salomon's versatility perfectly complements her needs, offering comfort regardless of weather conditions or environment. Her endorsement emphasizes the brand's ability to cater to both active lifestyles and casual wear.

The Autumn/Winter 2026 Collection: Built for the Elements

The new collection, dubbed 'In the Open', introduces three distinct footwear designs: the XT-6 Protective, XT-Whisper Gore-Tex, and XT-4 OG Gore-Tex. Each model is engineered to provide robust protection against winter elements without compromising on contemporary style. This capsule collection represents a harmonious blend of durability and fashionable design.

A Fusion of Landscapes: Urban Meets Wilderness

The campaign's visual narrative brilliantly captures the intersection of urban settings and natural landscapes. Rather than presenting these two worlds as separate entities, Salomon's photography features Jisoo amidst wild, grassy terrains juxtaposed against the backdrop of a bustling city skyline. This artistic direction visually articulates the brand's philosophy that performance and style are not mutually exclusive but coexist beautifully.

Seoul: A Personal Connection for Jisoo

The choice of Seoul, South Korea, as the campaign's setting holds special significance for Jisoo. She often describes her time in her home city as an opportunity for relaxation and quiet reflection. Whether exploring local eateries, discovering charming cafes, or simply enjoying music, Jisoo values the moments of tranquility. This personal connection to Seoul resonates with the campaign's theme of finding comfort and style within diverse environments.
