Considered as one of the best players in the world despite his young age, Killian Mbappé paves his way in the world of fashion and luxury.
Killian Mbappé: ambassador for Dior and Hublot.
Although the collaborations between brands and footballers are not recent, the fact remains nonetheless that the figure of Kylian Mbappé is creating, through it, an even closer relationship…
Recently designated Dior’s ambassador, Kylian Mbappé’s aura goes beyond the boundaries of mere collaboration.
It is common knowledge that the player shines through an exceptional track record considering his young age. In the space of six years, Kylian Mbappé has been awarded some of the most important distinctions in the football world: Best Young Fifa Player, Young League 1 Player of the Year in France, The Golden Boy Award – this one being the most prestigious individual trophy in Europe awarded to a young footballer under the age of 21- and finally the Kopa Trophy for the world’s best player under the age of 21.
In addition, this very beautiful book, in collaboration with the Solar Editions, comes back on Mbappé’s dazzling career. This book is illustrated with rare images and filled with exclusive interviews collected by the journalists of France Football.
In the meanwhile, he was also named Player of the Year in Ligue 1 twice and finished as the top scorer in the French league for three consecutive seasons! World champion and European champion with the rest of the French team, we can guess that the person of Kylian Mbappé fascinates as much as it inspires.
It was the Hublot house that, in the first place, detected in the young player the potential of an icon to come.
As one of the first luxury houses that had partnerships with footballers, Hublot chose Kylian Mbappé to become its ambassador in 2018. Indeed, Hublot has been able to find in exceptional players the ambassadors who will live up to their innovations.
In the Hublot family, we ask for the giant Pelé and… Kylian Mbappé! Mbappé proclaimed that “Hublot embodies this merging of innovation, new technologies and materials that I like. They unconditionally support my sport and are associated with my most beautiful football moments. Therefore, I am proud to become the first active footballer of the brand!”
In 2021, it is Dior that selected the young man as its ambassador, and it was a first! The men’s line was then orchestrated by visionary Kim Jones. and it was a first! After dressing the players of the Paris Saint Germain team, the Dior Man’s artistic director, Kim Jones, named Kylian Mbappé as the ambassador of Dior’s fashion for man and also of its famous Sauvage fragrance.
After Alain Delon and Johnny Depp, Kylian Mbappé embodies the “Dior man”. This status shakes up the already established order that, until now, actors were called for such a mission.
However, Kylian Mbappé is already quite familiar with the Dior house. He has, as a matter of fact, already be seen, and more than once, wearing the very pieces from the Dior Man collection by Kim Jones: from sweatshirts to Kaws Bee Dior sets, not to mention his passion for sneakers and especially the Air Jordan I High OG Dior. Those iconic shoes were offered by Kim Jones in 2020 to the player for his birthday!
As we can see, the bonds between Kylian and fashion are just being established, but they announce the enthronement of an ambassador who has everything to become an icon himself!
An ascent that we will understand all the better by wondering through this selection dedicated to the talent and the influence that Mbappé owns!
