Messi explains his thoughts on the concept of the horizon: “For me, the horizon is looking to the future, letting my imagination carry me and thinking about what could happen, what the future holds—all its possibilities.” Under Glen Luchford’s expert direction, the football star also appears in a mesmerizing Louis Vuitton ad video, showcasing the sleek and sophisticated Horizon suitcase, a product of the harmonious collaboration between the Maison and esteemed designer Marc Newson.
