Paris Saint-Germain have teamed up with Indian fashion designer Manish Arora for a unique capsule collection that debuted at the designer’s Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer 2019 runway show.
Yeah, it's pretty out there. And no, your dad ain't gonna like it; but he needn't worry, this collection isn't exactly designed to absorb spilt bovril on a Tuesday night terrace. This is PSG, they do things differently. After all, how many clubs could get away with collaborating with an esteemed fashion designer for a Paris Fashion Week show? We'd guess at the list starting and ending with PSG – and that's the direct result of their increased movement into fashion and lifestyle circles in recent seasons.
With their record transfer superstars, Jordan branded kits, and celebrity following, PSG are catwalk football. And now that term becomes literal as models carried the iconic club crest down one of fashion's most prestigious runway in alternative style.
The faces of PSG stars Thiago Silva, Kylian Mbappe, Marco Verratti and Edinson Cavani were all incorporated into the SS19 collection as Arora showcased his creativity across a number of PSG branded statement pieces. Former PSG women's player Laure Boulleau was in attendance to witness her club step further into the boldest of new ground as PSG continue to break the boundaries of how football and fashion interact.
It's okay to admit you don't hate it...
