Zinedine Zidane once told Vogue, during his dalliance with modelling: "It's not that I'm doing something different -- it's a continuation." And he was right: the elegant playmaker would not look out of place on the catwalk wearing the tricolore France jersey in which he won the World Cup, or the classic all-white Real Madrid kit he wore when lifting the Champions League trophy.
The designers and models on the runways in the world of haute couture may turn their nose up at football culture, but every fan of the sport knows the thrill of seeing an amazing new kit.
