Messi is no stranger to the fashion industry. In 2019, the soccer superstar launched the Messi brand and debuted a collaboration with Savile Row tailor Richard James.
“I like to explore different fields that are of interest besides sport. I always try to make the most of every opportunity to be a part of something new and exciting, so the launch of my lifestyle brand is something I am really excited to do and I hope that everyone loves it as much as I do,” Messi said at the time of the launch.
Messi, who is on the Argentinian national soccer team, brought home the win for Argentina at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Earlier this year, Messi also appeared in his first solo Louis Vuitton campaign.
