Bastian Schweinsteiger swaps the pitch for the catwalk as he tries his hand at modelling for Chicago's Soccer & Style annual fashion show

Bastian Schweinsteiger is not one to shirk an invitation, with the midfielder regularly seen at showbiz events alongside his celebrity wife Ana Ivanovic.

This week, though, he took it a step further and actually played a part in a fashion show in Chicago, strutting his stuff on the catwalk.

All in the name of charity, the Chicago Fire player dressed up in a number of different Banana Republic outfits to wow the crowd at the Soccer & Style Fashion Show.
