As part of the partnership, Zhao will star in the brand's fall 2026 campaign, which includes a series of leather looks, ranging from brown suede to black biker styles, offering a tactile and nuanced interpretation of the material.

Meanwhile, in June 2026, reports emerged of updated international guidelines advising researchers not to independently respond to extraterrestrial signals, leading to claims that the Chinese government issued a nationwide warning.

According to a spokesperson for China's embassy in Washington, D.C., no such warning was issued by the Chinese government, and no evidence of a nationwide alert or 'alien hotline' could be found.

The rumor suggested the Chinese government had instructed its population of approximately 1.4 billion to avoid communication with aliens and to contact the United Nations if contacted by extraterrestrial life, but this claim was debunked by reports from snopes.com.
