For the April 2026 issue of HERO, actor and cultural icon Wu Lei (吴磊) appears in a series of portraits that cement his place on the international fashion scene. Dressed in a double-breasted jacket from Julien Fournié’s Spring 2026 Haute Couture collection, he strikes a balance between sartorial precision and contemporary sensibility.
Wu Lei, whose popularity has long transcended borders through his acclaimed roles in Chinese productions, asserts himself here not only as an actor, but as a style icon in his own right.
The result is a striking image, where the precision of the garment meets the intensity of his gaze — a perfect alliance between exceptional craftsmanship and the magnetic presence of its wearer.
A jacket from the First Misfits collection for Wu Lei
Wu Lei wears the Charisme crossover zipped jacket — a unisex ¾-length piece in sand linen lacquered with lunar gold — from the First Misfits Haute Couture collection.
On the runway, the jacket was styled with the Liquid Gold hooded tank top, the Signature unisex belted trousers in Prince of Wales check woven with gold lurex thread, and the Big Bang Go bag in lunar gold — a versatile carryall featuring a sturdy shoulder strap and a gleaming gold metal clasp.

Handbags, tote bags, and clutches created by Julien Fournié
More than a fashion brand, Maison Julien Fournié is a luxury experience that transcends trends and seasons. Driven by a commitment to excellence and innovation, Julien Fournié continuously redefines the world of ultra-luxury.
Founded in 2009, the house’s history is woven into its haute couture collections, presented in Paris every January and July during Haute Couture Week. For his debut collection, the young couturier was awarded the Grand Prize for Creativity by the City of Paris in January 2010. By his fourth collection in January 2011, Julien Fournié became a guest member of the official calendar of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture — a first step towards recognition among the great couturiers.
In January 2017, Maison Julien Fournié was officially classified as Haute Couture. This prestigious label, protected by the French Ministry of Industry, is held by only a handful of houses — currently ten — that unite the highest creativity in design with the finest standards of garment making.
Since its inception, the house has been invited to present its collections at prestigious events worldwide, bringing the couturier’s vision to luxury clients across the globe. In March 2023, a Julien Fournié gown worn by actress Audrey Fleurot entered the Musée Grévin in Paris. In April 2023, the first retrospective of Julien Fournié’s work was held at SCAD Lacoste, in an exhibition entitled Haute Couture, un point c’est tout.
While honouring tradition, Julien Fournié has forged bold partnerships with high-tech leaders such as Apple and Tencent, digitising the creation, design and personalisation of his haute couture pieces. He stands among the rare couturiers to fully master the new digital tools. Clients are no longer mere spectators of the creative process — they have become active participants in the singular experience of creating a garment, wherever they may be.
Since December 2020, Julien Fournié has been developing a line of luxury bags and accessories, initially conceived to offer the iconic pieces seen on the runway — previously reserved for haute couture clients — to a wider audience.
