KCD is a global brand experience agency with offices in New York, Paris, Los Angeles, and London, applying more than four decades of fashion expertise to culture-driven industries. The past year brought a full calendar of campaigns, fashion shows, and global events across its Media Relations, Guest Experience, Digital, Beauty, and Creative groups. The agency's designer-first positioning supported new chapters at storied houses and brands, including Sarah Burton at Givenchy, Glenn Martens at Maison Margiela, and Zac Posen at Old Navy, where KCD led the press campaign for the retailer's entrance into the handbag category. Guest experience remained a signature strength, spanning the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, the Guccicore Fashion Show in Times Square, Louis Vuitton's Cruise 2027 show at The Frick Collection, and the inaugural Franca Fund gala in Doha. The agency also moved deeper into entertainment, advising Penske Media on red carpet logistics for the Golden Globe Awards, shaping the creative execution and guest experience for the global premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 for Disney Studios, and supporting Netflix's season four premiere of Bridgerton in Paris. Meanwhile, the Beauty Group, founded in 2023, continued to build its global roster with signings including rini and the MCM fragrance business, evidence of an agency extending its reach while keeping fashion at its core.
