Inspired by its brand anthem, Be the Most, Claire's created The Collab, centered on celebrating the influence and creativity of Gen Zalpha.
The year-long initiative will speak to "the most diverse, savvy and empathetic generation yet," and feature up-and-coming creative voices like seven-year-old Ayla Palmer, creator and designer of the AY fashion line and 15-year-old Ashlyn So, a fashion designer newly named one of top three designers to watch by Vogue Hong Kong. Notably, the dress worn by Ashlyn in the photoshoot announcing The Collab is her own design.
The Collab's talented Gen Z and Gen Alpha cast will play a role in everything from styling shoots to creating content and hosting events, all the while calling on other young creators to express themselves.
