Lanvin outfits Arsenal
Lanvin has designed exclusive suits for the London football club.
Currently sitting at the top of the English Premier League, Arsenal has been given an added boost ahead of the game this Saturday against Southampton with a stylish new club suit designed by Lanvin.
Created by Lanvin Homme designer Lucas Ossendrijver, the midnight blue suits feature a small gold Arsenal crest on the lapel and are worn with white poplin shirts and a solid red tie. Accessories include black Lanvin derby shoes, a matching belt, and Arsenal-engraved cufflinks.
“We are delighted to welcome Lanvin to the Club as our official tailor,” said Vinai Venkatesham, Arsenal’s sales and marketing director.
“The fashion house has a remarkable history and proud heritage, and is an institution in its field having opened in 1889, only three years after Arsenal played its first match. The suits are a classic design, and will give players and staff a unified and stylish appearance”.
Earlier this month Italian brand Versace unveiled smart off-field designs for Spanish giants Real Madrid. And the football and fashion tie-ins are a popular trend: Arsenal’s domestic rivals Manchester United have their tailoring provided by Paul Smith, while back in Italy it’s Dolce & Gabbana who outfit AC Milan.
