Louis Vuitton has landed a new grand slam brand ambassador with renowned tennis player Naomi Osaka as the fashion house’s newest brand ambassador. Osaka will make her debut at Louis Vuitton’s for the spring/summer 2021 fashion campaign photographed by Louis Vuitton artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière. 

“Aside from tennis my most treasured passion is fashion; and there is no brand more iconic than Louis Vuitton,” Osaka said. “It is such an honor to work with Nicolas — he’s a designer I admire so much and we share a mutual love of Japanese culture and style. To become global brand ambassador is truly a dream come true for me.” 

“Naomi is an exception woman who represents her generation and is also a role model for everyone,” Ghèsquiere said. “Her career and convictions are inspiring. I am in awe of Naomi, she stays true to herself and doesn’t compromise on her values.”
