One of the hottest players in football at the moment is Erling Haaland of Norway. because he consistently scores goals. 52, to be exact, last year. Not only does that make Pep Guardiola, his manager, extremely pleased, but it also means he wins more Player of the Season awards. Additionally, he is dressed like though he is having the time of his life (reader: which he is).

The top Targaryen in the Premier League was one of the honorees at Dolce and Gabbana’s Alta Moda presentation this past weekend in Alberobello, Puglia. Alta Moda is the Italian brand’s take on haute couture, the most opulent and glittering division of any major fashion house. It’s for those who have the money to invest in masterfully crafted, one-of-a-kind objects that nobody else will own.
The guests are of the highest caliber. Along with Haaland, there are Venus Williams, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and brand ambassador Kim Kardashian. The 6’4″ football guy also appeared to fit in just fine. He wore a tailored, loose, double-breasted pale blue suit along with a matching V-neck sweater vest, open-toe sandals, and a matching jumper. Big sunglasses in the top, like Kurt Cobain. It was a City-related fit, as he noted in the caption of the Instagram photo in which he is wearing the suit, and it was a marker of his ascent to high fashion proper.
You wouldn’t be unreasonable to think that this is the start of Haaland’s formal function as a proper fashion man given his new position on the circuit. He imitates what has been happening elsewhere by showing up at the Dolce & Gabbana runway show. Fashion companies have entered the field and claimed the famous players for themselves.Gucci has acquired the rights to Jack Grealish. The Florentine brand’s Adidas partnership was headed by Mo Salah.Marcus Rashford and Son Heung-min were selected as Burberry’s campaign ambassadors.
It won’t be long until the next stop on Haaland’s rapid menswear voyage is a campaign.
