In January 2016, she was selected to serve as Pantene's new global ambassador. She was chosen by Amazon Fashion as the spokesperson for their "Spring 2016" campaign and brand ambassador for Europe. On July 26, 2017, in Milan, she opened the first Chiara Ferragni Collection boutique. The fourth iteration of "Intimissimi on Ice," with costumes created by Chiara, was presented by the Italian apparel company "intimissimi" in the Verona Arena in October of that year. In May 2018, "Footwear News" named her as one of "the most important people in the fashion business."
