In this Johnnie Walker commercial, we follow a software engineer student as he takes the bold step to give up his studies to follow his passion as an artist. After he and his art are rejected by several galleries, his perseverance leads him to meet a fashion designer. By being open to a new path, he ultimately tastes success in the world of fashion, which culminates in a fashion show where his art is the main design on a series of dresses. Proving that the most important step on your journey isn’t your last, it’s your next.
