ALASTAIR PHILIP WIPERGoude, a French graphic designer and image-maker (and Grace Jones’s partner), helped create some of the most iconic images of the 1980s. The way he reshaped her image into a futuristic, androgynous yet sexy figure is unforgettable.
Kristoffer Alexander Holtermann Bellérín spent his years at Arsenal making the case that a footballer could be genuinely interested in clothes without it being a brand deal. He was. And because of that authenticity, his friendship with Guillermo Andrade produced something that felt real, 424 suiting Arsenal not through a sponsorship but through a personal connection. That’s the only collaboration model I believe in. The clothes were secondary to the relationship that made them possible.
