As many of you know this weekend is Superbowl weekend of course, and this is a fashion blog, so why am I bringing football into this Chanel scripted, high heel, blog of mine? Because for the first time, these two worlds will collide and I don't mean Gisele and Tom. In one world, a hit on the quarterback; in the other, a waistless dress. Spiral names the prettiest of passes or a lovely swirled frock. Double coverage can be two defenders on a wide receiver or layered cardigans. Blocking: the job of the endearing giant in "The Blind Side" or how you shape a sweater. Football has its helmets (granted, not an accessory, but an essential in minimizing head injuries), while fashion boasts Pierre Cardin’s Space-Age headgear as well as Lang and Newton, give or take a vowel.
In this world, this fashion football crossover it started a long time ago, long before we knew, and it started with the shoulder pads.
