…and by theme, we mean red and white polka dot gingham fiesta.

Style Files: Henry/Hilfiger, Dolce/AC MIlan
WWD recently announced that Dolce & Gabbana will be designing the Chinese Olympic soccer team uniforms, and they’re sounding rather fabu. The boys will be rocking a ‘Martini’ suit – black, slim fit with just a single button on the jackets. They’ll also have bombers and sweaters with satin-lined hoods. Link: The Fashion Olympics
Keeping with Dolce & Gabs, this is not the first time the designers have delved into the footie world with their clothing. In fact, let’s take a moment to reflect on how much this brand has done for football. Ah, good, half-naked times. Dear Kickettes, we implore you, if you are loyal to any label, this is the one to pledge your life to.
Let us continue our style reflection by checking out the AC Milan collabo with D&G. You might want to do that as a matter of urgency/vicarious letcherousness.
Also, our little fashion birdies out there tell us that the Tommy Hilfiger/Thierry Henry relationship is moving to into new territories. This September, Thierry will have his own capsule line released worldwide. Hilfiger has designed a collection inspired by newly-single Thierry – think sophisticated urban cool.

Pele v Beckham: Pop Star Training
Footie legend Pele has a few choice words for David Beckham regarding his lifestyle in LA, and they don’t center around Becks’ new hairdo.
“David Beckham is more of a pop star than a player. From my experience with New York Cosmos, I would advise him to be very well prepared for the matches.
“I know the level of play in the league. It is well balanced, and the spectators will demand a lot from him as their star player. But when there’s no training or practice, then he can stroll through Hollywood… David must be the one to lift the sport. He must give the right answers on the pitch, that is not Victoria’s business.“
We’re not too concerned with David’s ‘pop star’ lifestyle – when he is fit to train he will, and he’s never been one to shy away from hard work.
Questioning Coleen McLoughlin’s Trousers
A simple question, Coleen,
Pourquoi?
Please do tell: why are your trousers so bloody long?
Why doth they draggeth along the pavement, collecting dust, scraps and squirrels?
Yes, a clean, unbroken line can make your legs look longer. And sure, when you spend £600 on a pair of slacks you shouldn’t have to do anything to them, they should come perfectly formed and perfectly tailored. But such is life. Life is not always fair.
And so, we ask, again: why?

Steven & Alex: The Wedding Photos
Oh, how we have waited. And waited. And then waited some more for these photos.
The blessed Steven Gerrard and Alex Curran wedding photos. Or, in other words, the photos by which all WAG wedding photos will forever be judged.
They do not disappoint, but are surprising in their subtlety. Although, obviously WAG subtlety is a universe unto itself.. Alex’s Ellie Saab dress is literally the “night of 19,000 Swarovski crystals covered in sparkling diamond dust and the sweat of a thousand child labourers working from sun up to sun down to create”.
But, you know… it’s kind of nice in a pageantry, barbie kind of way. We hate the hair, though. When will women learn that your wedding is not the time to experiment with bouffy, hard, helmet-like styles? Note the frozen smiles of hate on the bridesmaids who had 18 layers of Aquanet and a rolled up sock in their hair. Our wedding hair advice: go with you, but with cleaner, slightly more stylish hair, and you’re good.
