Lourdes Leon Dazzles As She Boldly Displays Armpit Hair In Campaign
Lourdes Leon, daughter of music icon Madonna, is making a bold statement in her latest Calvin Klein campaign by proudly displaying her armpit hair. Leon is featured in the brand’s newest collection, “CK1 Palace,” a collaboration with skateboard-fashion brand Palace that launched in April 2022.
In the campaign photographs, Leon is seen with her long brown hair cascading down her back while confidently showing off her underarm hair. This is not the first time she has embraced her natural body hair, having previously displayed it on the Met Gala red carpet, in the Spring 2021 Marc Jacobs campaign, and in a 2018 selfie with her mother.
The “CK1 Palace” campaign, shot by Palace photographer Alasdair McLellan and styled by Max Pearlman, combines the playful graphics of Palace with Calvin Klein’s classic designs, featuring underwear, denim, tees, and fleece. This collaboration marks the first time Palace has included women’s underwear in its collections.
Fans have been enthusiastic about the edgy collaboration, praising Leon for her confidence and authenticity. While some negative comments have surfaced, her supporters have been quick to defend her, highlighting the importance of self-expression and individuality.
The campaign follows Leon’s recent work with Burberry, where she modeled alongside Bella Hadid, Jourdan Dunn, and Ella Richards. As a model, Leon has utilized her platform to advocate for art, self-expression, and a healthier environment within the fashion industry.
In an October discussion with Interview magazine, Leon shared her vision of a fashion world where models have greater agency and are viewed as artists and personalities rather than silent clothing racks. She also emphasized the importance of maintaining a healthy relationship with social media, acknowledging the deceptive nature of online personas.
Leon’s fearless embrace of her natural body hair and her commitment to promoting authenticity and self-expression in the fashion world demonstrate her determination to challenge norms and redefine beauty standards.
