Peter Saville England Shirt
3 Comments | Posted by phil on 1 Sep 10 in Fashion, Sport, design
New England home shirt designed by Peter Saville. It’s certainly minimal, the multicoloured crosses being “evocative of the basting stitches synonymous with bespoke tailoring” according to Saville. Either that or it makes you look like you have interesting dandruff… Thoughts anyone?
After thousands of entries, Umbro unveiled the finalists in their competition to customise the sole on a pair of Specialis. Shown are some of the final 15, chosen from the thousands of different designs by a team of judges which included Umbro designers Stuart Semple and Stewart Scott-Curran, and Esquire’s art director David McKendrick.
‘There were some unbelievable entries, I was pretty surprised by the diversity. At the top end the standard was incredible – I was particularly impressed with the entries that dealt with the architecture of the boot within their work. There were some really hilarious entries too. I think overall the shortlist shows an exciting breadth of talent and some exciting non-literal interpretations. It seems the Speciali competition has bought some incredible talents out of the woodwork.’ – Stuart Semple
Each of the winners will have a pair of Specialis with their design on the sole made up for them, but that’s not all. Michael Owen, Gael Clichy and John Terry will each pick their favourites from the final 15 and wear them on the pitch later this year in a Premiership match.
We’ve seen lots of examples recently of the ‘depth-of-field’ shots that make real life look like small scale models, but I’ve never seen it as a time-lapse animation before… and it’s amazing! See it in fullscreen here
