GUESS Celebrates Global Unity and Heritage with ‘One World, One Brand 2025’ in Marrakech

Tanisha Cardozo

As GUESS approaches its 45th anniversary in 2026, the brand chose Marrakech, Morocco, as the stage for its global conference One World, One Brand 2025 — a vibrant celebration of creativity, heritage, and unity. The city holds deep personal meaning for Paul Marciano, GUESS’s Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, who was born there.

Now in its eighth edition, the conference brought together over 800 guests from 100 countries, marking one of the most ambitious gatherings in the brand’s history. The event unfolded over three days of inspiring conferences, fashion showcases, gala dinners, cocktail receptions, and luxurious experiences that reflected GUESS’s signature blend of glamour and authenticity.

The grand finale was a breathtaking fashion show at the El Badi Palace, an architectural marvel of 16th-century Morocco, where guests witnessed the unveiling of the Spring/Summer 2026 and Pre-Fall 2026 collections and a special MARCIANO by GUESS capsule created exclusively for Marrakech.

“It’s far beyond a corporate gathering,” said Paul Marciano. “One World, One Brand is about bringing people together from across the globe to share ideas, celebrate creativity, and experience the lifestyle that defines GUESS. I chose Morocco to honor my family’s humble beginnings and to showcase the beauty and progress of this country that shaped who I am.”

The overarching theme, Never Forget Your Roots, resonated throughout the event, paying tribute to Marciano’s Moroccan heritage and GUESS’s evolution from its iconic denim origins to a global lifestyle powerhouse.

Among the attendees were GUESS executives, business partners, and international talent, including Chiara Ferragni, Leonie Hanne, Lea Elui, Maura Higgins, Krystle D’Souza, and Andrea Brillantes, along with global media and fashion influencers. Guests experienced curated adventures across Morocco — from sidecar tours through Marrakech’s vibrant souks to hot-air balloon rides over the Agafay Desert and private explorations of the Medina.

To extend the celebration, GUESS will take over the luxurious White Camel glamping resort in the Agafay Desert through the fall season, offering immersive experiences and décor inspired by the brand’s iconic heritage.

As GUESS moves closer to its 45th anniversary, One World, One Brand 2025 stands as a symbol of its enduring vision — a world united by creativity, connection, and timeless style.

The event witnessed when silver screen icons met high-fashion drama — Vogue World: Hollywood turned the Paramount Pictures Studios Lot in Los Angeles into a runway of cinematic dreams. Celebrating the intertwined legacy of film and fashion, the show brought together Hollywood’s brightest stars, style powerhouses, and designers who continue to shape global fashion narratives. The charity-driven night not only celebrated creativity but also raised millions for important causes.

Dakota Johnson captivated the audience in a Valentino gown designed by Alessandro Michele. Adorned with crystal floral appliqués and a delicate tulle neckline, her look was a picture of timeless elegance. With open straight hair, wispy bangs, dewy makeup, and a sleek black clutch, Dakota effortlessly combined sophistication with understated charm.

Kim Taehyung, globally known as BTS’ V, made a stunning appearance in a hanbok-inspired grey trench coat. The ensemble was completed with a red norigae-style belt and hat — a poetic nod to Korean heritage with a contemporary twist. His warm smile and effortless poise added an extra dose of charm to the red carpet.

Miley Cyrus brought modern power dressing to life in an all-Saint Laurent outfit. Dressed in an oversized trench coat layered over a crisp white shirt, sheer tights, and pointed slingbacks, she radiated bold, unapologetic confidence. A leather biker cap sealed her edgy yet refined aesthetic.

Maitreyi Ramakrishnan represented global elegance in a gold Manish Malhotra creation that balanced heritage and haute couture. The ensemble, crafted from archival brocade with metallic floral motifs, paired beautifully with a tea-length skirt and monochrome makeup. Her sleek bun and subtle grace made the look stand out.

Madison Beer’s vintage Valentino mini dress brought back the playful glamour of the ’90s. The black-and-white striped piece, paired with strappy sandals and minimal accessories, highlighted her effortless cool-girl charm.

Kendall Jenner channeled cinematic nostalgia by wearing an original Moulin Rouge costume once donned by Nicole Kidman as Satine. The crystal-covered black-and-silver bodysuit, designed by Catherine Martin and Angus Strathie, shimmered under the lights, complemented by fishnet stockings, high heels, and a dramatic black hat.

Hailey Bieber embodied futuristic sensuality in a custom Mugler leather dress from the Spring/Summer 2026 collection. The off-shoulder silhouette, dramatic cutouts, and sculpted rosette accentuated her refined yet daring aesthetic. Her slicked-back bun, diamond studs, and glossy lips completed a look that was effortlessly magnetic.

The night of Vogue World: Hollywood will be remembered as a celebration of timeless artistry — where legends of the silver screen and icons of modern fashion came together to remind the world that style, much like cinema, is an eternal story of reinvention.
