In the dynamic intersection of luxury fashion and sports, Victor Wembanyama stands tall, not just on the court but also in the fashion world, becoming the freshest face of Louis Vuitton. His collaboration with LV isn’t just a deal; it’s a declaration of the evolving identity of the modern athlete.
“To me, it’s the best. It’s the best partner I can think of” Wembanyama remarks about his alliance with the French luxury powerhouse. “I don’t even know about other countries, but in France it’s huge. It’s the biggest brand for young people. It was just in everyone’s heads growing up, especially with what Virgil Abloh did.” (Source: GQ).
Wemby had already worked with Louis Vuitton for his NBA draft suit. He will now embody “the bold vision of Men’s Creative Director Pharell’s debut collection” (Source: @LouisVuitton).
