Rising basketball star Alexandre Sarr has been named the latest global ambassador for Versace. The 19-year-old French athlete will bring a new energy to the legendary Italian fashion house.
The second overall pick in the NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards, Sarr is a bold choice for Versace that demonstrates the brand’s commitment to embracing emerging talent. His remarkable journey from the courts of Europe, Australia and the United States to professional basketball exemplifies the dynamic spirit Versace strives to capture.
Donatella Versace personally welcomed Sarr with enthusiasm, stating: “I am thrilled to welcome Alexandre to the Versace Family. He has such incredible talent at such a young age, I cannot wait to see him go from strength to strength in his field – wearing Versace of course!”
The partnership resonates deeply with Sarr, who shared his perspective: “Versace is one of the most recognizable names in the world. You feel it when you wear a Versace design, and it powers you to do more and better. It’s humbling to represent the brand and sit alongside the amazing talent from sport, music, acting and more who Versace have always championed.”
Sarr joins a stellar group of Versace ambassadors, including Chris Lee, Anne Hathaway, Stray Kids’ Hyunjin, Ningning, Cai Xukun as well as Rosy Zhao.
