Del Piero to launch clothing range in UK
Former Italy footballer Alessandro del Piero is set to bring his fashion line to England. The Juventus legend, 43, was one of best front players of his generation, and spent the majority of his playing career with the Turin giants, reports the Sun. But since retiring, he launched his own ‘ glam and sporty’ outdoor wear fashion line called Air Dp, which he soon hopes to bring to the UK.
He already has stores in Italy, but told the Sun: “England is elegant and civil.
“What I missed out on with football, I could live through my brand. I would like to expand the style and my product — and bring it to England.”
Del Piero’s store sells trendy sunglasses as well as modern takes on trainers and raincoats.
He said the store was born “from the air supporting a golf ball after a swing, the family laughs in a fine day, the unmistakable brush- stroke of a free kick, from a new, dynamic, enterprising yet fair approach to life.”
Del Piero also is inspired by Italy legend Christian Vieri is enjoying a holiday with his model girlfriend Costanza Caracciolo in Miami.
Holiday snaps have emerged of the former footballer and his stunning partner relaxing on a beach, reports the Sun.
Costanza is seen in a frilly black bikini. The pair took a dip in the ocean before returning to their sun loungers on the sand for some lunch.
Vieri, 44, started dating model Costanza, 28, last year. And Miami appears to be their favourite getaway having been also pictured there in December. Vieri was earlier in a relationship with Elisabetta Canalis — who also dated George Clooney — and Melissa Satta. Costanza is a showgirl, dancer and TV host in Italy.
Vieri is Italy’s joint- top scorer in World Cups with nine goals at the 1998 and 2002 tournaments. David Beckham’s success in fashion, and in taking his brand to the USA. He added: “I feel I’ve always felt I have a British sense of style.
“I like that and admit it freely. Beckham is an example of class in the USA, England and Italy. He is a style icon.” With 290 strikes, he is Juventus’ all- time record goal scorer, making 705 appearances for them, winning Serie A six times and the World
Cup with Italy in 2006.
Costanza she got her big break as a film star in 2001 in the Italian movie Capitan Basil 2 — The Fantastic 4 + 4, where she featured as herself.
She is also a huge hit on social media with almost 800,000 followers on Instagram, through which fans are regularly treated to bikini snaps and photos of her latest modelling range.
