One of a Kind
One of a Kind.
Those are the first words that come to mind when we hear the names of legendary footballers Ronaldinho Gaucho and Dijbril Cisse. During an era that birthed some of the sauciest football styles on the pitch and on the street, Ronaldinho Gaucho and Dijbril Cisse’s individual styles pioneered waves that still live on today.
Recently, Dijbril Cisse featured in a self-curated editorial for Ghanaian street-style brand FREE THE YOUTH (FTY). In this self-curated editorial, Cisse was stunningly captured donning the newest FTY Sports football kit, which features a genuinely unique FTY design – perfectly suited for one of most beloved football fashion icons of all time.
Envisioned by Jonathan Coffie, Kelly Foli, Winfred Mensah, and Richard Kweku Ormano, FREE THE YOUTH is a collective of young creatives determined to empower Ghanaian and all African youth to connect to art scenes around the world with Ghanaian inspired street-style fashion and culture. - (via freetheyouth.net)
Football and fashion go hand in hand. As the old saying goes, “look good, feel good; feel good, play good.” Like Cisse, Ronaldinho is no stranger to performing well in front of the cameras when it comes to looking good; whether he is in a full kit or in his drip of the day, it is must-see TV.
The former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star’s latest performance was for the return of PSG’s joint visual ‘People of Paris’ campaign, in collaboration with luxury apparel brand GOAT, uniting individuals around the world through their shared passion for football, fashion, and culture.
When it comes to originality, there is no need to look any further than Dijbril Cisse and Ronaldinho Gaucho. What these two icons are contributing to world of fashion after the careers they had in football, speaks volumes to their impact and influence - lasting for over 20 years. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for FREE THE YOUTH and Paris Saint-Germain, as they continue to create spaces for footballers of the past, present, and future to be themselves - to be legendary.
