This collection aims to capture, through the joy of football, the bringing of people together as well as the stereotypical toxic masculinity deeply associated with the game. The research and inspiration comes from a mix of imagery. From the pictures and stories told by parents and grandparents, the images of Irish fans celebrating at Italia '90 and the groups of premier league supporters, a visual narrative is formed.
This menswear collection combines elements of sportswear and casual clothing. It is constructed using functional technical fabrics with sportswear finishes such as tape-seaming and cording. Although the garments are functional, they are targeted at an audience of young males aware of good design.
