Joe Willock is the latest Premier League baller to walk the runway at Paris Fashion Week after linking up with 424.
The Los Angeles brand is no stranger to enlisting players as talent for shows, having worked with Destiny Udogie and former Arsenal stars Robert Pires and Mathieu Flamini earlier this year. With this summer's showcase marking Willock's debut, both as a model and attendee at PFW.
The Newcastle midfielder joined a star-studded group debuting Guillermo Andrade's latest looks, including actor Will Poulter, musicians Rema, Roddy Ricch and Tommy Richman, as well as British boxer Ben Whittaker. The show took centre stage in the courtyard of the Monnaie de Paris, with Willock and co. arriving in classic Porsches.
Unlike their Nike-collaborated FW25 collection, this season's ready-to-wear range featured no clear nods to the beautiful game, instead showcasing a series of formal and casual wear shaped by the brand's unique aesthetic. But with Andrade making his love for the beautiful game clear over the years, who knows what he’s plotting next.
