Football and Fashion: does it fit?

Football players aren’t best known for their style awareness. Neither are their fans anything like style heroes. Football and fashion – is such a fusion possible at all?

Yes, it is. A proof of it is a new fashion film..

On the occasion of the European Championship there is now a fashion film by Sharif Hamza seen on Nowness in which the Arsenal London defender Thomas Vermaelen is training with ball at his feet in fine Belgian clothing.

No football player, not even Becks has ever worn clothes this stylish. In the video Vermaelen is wearing Ann Demeulemeester, Kris Van Assche, Dries Van Noten, Tim Coppens, Raf Simons and Maison Martin Margiela. Briefly: the Who’s Who of Antwerp.
