World Cup: a selection of luxe takes on ‘fan gear’
Redline
Parisian jeweler Redline has created a new piece of luxury bling for fans of the beautiful game. The ‘Love Ball’ can be worn as either a bracelet or necklace, with a choice of personalizable string colors to match your team’s kit. The diamond pavé piece is priced at €830, and is available online and at the Redline store in Paris at 161 rue Saint Honoré.
Elizabeth & James
The brand’s Bowery slogan t-shirt style has been remixed for the World Cup. Priced from $88 to $96, the capsule features a t-shirt, cropped t-shirt and a tank. The teams celebrated include the United States, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, England, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Russia, Spain, Switzerland and The Netherlands. For fence-sitting neutrals there’s also an Elizabeth and James “I Heart FÚTBOL” t-shirt.
Yoox
The Italian online luxury portal has unveiled a range of sweatshirts with prints for major teams at the World Cup by designers from that country. AMI’s Alexandre Mattiussi was on design duties for team France, MGSM created the Italian shirt, and Barbara Casasola was inspired by Brazilian modernist art to create her country’s shirt. The Soccer Couture collection by Yoox ranges in price from €68 to €94.
