BEFORE HE WAS a prince, a wizard and a master of the air, Callum Turner was a model. Runway. High fashion. Louis Vuitton Spring 2009: the London lad was clad in an all-white ‘fit of Paul Helbers’ design. So, becoming an ambassador for the luxury stalwart feels like a 360° moment for the actor who’s just a swish and a flick away from becoming a household name.

“I’ve always loved LV from way back when, and I truly enjoy the full circle part of joining the guys,” he exclusively tells Esquire.

For the customary announcement shoot, LV kitted him out in its yet-to-release men’s spring/summer 2025 collection (his prop, a supersized sakura shade Speedy) showcased in June at Men’s Paris Fashion Week.

Turner says they’re the kind of pieces he would wear for “going out out” – a phrase we’re sure went over a few heads in Paris – but also “for every day”. He’s not surprised that Pharrell, “a constant influence” in his sartorial choices, designs clothes that align with his style. “I love Pharrell in everything he does,” expresses Turner. “His clothes are incredible, [and] the collection is fresh and cool and exciting.”

Speaking of fresh and cool and exciting, Gabriel Moses was the photographer on set, much to Turner’s delight: “It was nice to work with a fellow south London boy all the way in Paris. We had a lot of fun.”

The buzzy British-Nigerian photographer is something of an LV ambassador himself, having shot several moments for the maison during Pharrell’s reign and walked in the first show designed by the musician-turned-creative director.

Once a Louis Vuitton man, always a Louis Vuitton man, it seems.

The Louis Vuitton SS25 collection is expected to release in January. For now, you can shop the brand’s pre-spring collection.
