To become global brand ambassador is truly a dream come true for me.”
Announcing the amazing news on Instagram, Osaka journeying down memory lane wrote;
“Wow this is actually crazy. Honored to be @louisvuitton newest House Ambassador,” she wrote. “Funny story: I first bought my mom a LV bag when I was 16 as a birthday present and it’s kinda been a tradition since. Do I call this a full circle moment? Yes ?”
Ghesquière, who posed alongside Osaka in the above photo, expressed excitement at having Osaka.
“Naomi is an exceptional woman who represents her generation and is also a role model for everyone,” he said in the release. “Her career and convictions are inspiring. I am in awe of Naomi, she stays true to herself and doesn’t compromise on her values.”
