Chinese superstar musician Li Ronghao is the new ambassador of Maison Valentino, the brand has announced.

To celebrate his new partnership with the brand, Ronghao will star in a new campaign for the Valentino Pink PP Collection.

Ronghao, a popular singer and actor in his native China, is groundbreaking in more ways than one, as he is the only singer from the Chinese mainland to also have held concerts in Hong Kong and Taipei.

”Valentino’s spirit resonates with me. And I believe inspirations in different forms can communicate just fine, as long as sharing a similar core: rhythm and lyrics are my preferred language, but the gentle yet subversive fashion language of Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli equally impresses me as well, and I am looking forward to starting a new chapter with Valentino,” says Ronghao.
