The French NBA rookie is announced as the fashion house's newest ambassador.

With it being a few days shy of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/mens-milan-paris-fashion-week-fall-winter-2024-runway-trends-menswear" target="_blank" title="The Best Men's Fall/Winter 2024 Fashion Trends Straight Off the Runways" rel="noopener">Paris Fashion Week</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/got7-bambam-joins-louis-vuitton-mens-latest-ambassador-2024-fashion-celebrity-news" target="_blank" title="GOT7's BamBam Joins The Louis Vuitton Family as Latest Ambassador" rel="noopener">Louis Vuitton</a>&nbsp;has French basketball player Victor Wembanyama as its newest ambassador.&nbsp;
Hailing from the western Parisian suburb of Le Chesnay, Wembanyama began playing for his hometown team, Nanterre 92, then emerged as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft for the San Antonio Spurs. Within his first season with the Spurs, Wembanyama proceeded to win numerous titles, including Most Valuable Player, Best Young Player of the Year, and Leading Scorer and is now a favourite for the Rookie of the Year title.&nbsp;

Wembanyama isn't the first athlete to be named an ambassador for <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/every-look-louis-vuitton-mens-fall-winter-2024-runway-images-pharrell-williams-pfw" title="From Paris to Virginia: Louis Vuitton Goes West For Men's Fall/Winter 2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Louis Vuitton</a>, with tennis player Carlos Alcaraz and swimmer Leon Marchand among the many famed athletes to represent the brand.
"Striving for excellence and with a perpetual honing of craft, Victor joins <a href="https://www.hommessingapore.com/style/get-to-know-louis-vuitton-newest-house-ambassadors-kpop-boy-group-riize" title="Get To Know Louis Vuitton's Newest House Ambassadors &mdash; RIIZE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Louis Vuitton</a> on a journey of shared values and aligned ambitions. Like Louis Vuitton himself, the young athlete has blazed a trail, excelling in a career that is only just beginning," the brand said in a press release.
As the luxury brand's parent group, LVMH Mo&euml;t Hennessy, gears up in preparation as a sponsor for the Paris 2024 Olympics, the decision to anoint a rising athlete doesn&rsquo;t come as a surprise considering Wembanyama, a member of the French national team, hopes to compete in the games.&nbsp;
Wembanyama was previously seen wearing a sleek Vuitton suit to the 2023 NBA draft.&nbsp;
