Sports Fashion Is Having a Vogue Romance

…Rising golf influencer Tisha Alyn is launching the first-ever women’s golf podcast. These biweekly episodes will provide the latest LPGA interviews, golf tips, and celebrity interviews.

There’s a barbershop ritual that helps the Bills look good, feel good, and play great. The tradition began 15 years ago, and Kenny Harris has been boosting morale in Orchard Park ever since.

As men’s tennis says goodbye to immortal giants, the next generation is here. Jannik Sinner is the global superstar taking the sport by storm.

Anta has struck gold with Kyrie Irving. His shoes have been a huge hit, and now Kai is building his own roster with Caris Levert, Derrick Jones Jr, and Daniel Gafford joining his team.

Lamine Yamal is the hottest teenage sensation in soccer. Everyone would love to have him on their team, but he wants to be a Barca boy for life.

We can’t say they didn’t warn us. In the first episode of Season 2 of Sprint—the Netflix docuseries that follows the lives of the fastest track athletes on the planet—Gabby Thomas’ publicist tells her that she heard a rumor Vogue magazine was interested in meeting her while she was in Paris during the Olympics. “That would be a no-brainer,” Thomas instantly replied. Well, it’s our lucky day, because that Vogue shoot just dropped.

The fashion bible dedicated its entire Winter Issue to the convergence of sports and fashion, the cultural phenomenon that has dominated the past year. The issue is titled: “When Sports Met Fashion: The Story of a Perfect Marriage”.

And it’s not just Thomas involved, either. The double Olympic gold medalist is joined by the WNBA’s Angel Reese, fresh off of her record-breaking rookie season with the Chicago Sky. So far, Vogue has only released the images of the two covers graced by Thomas and Reese, but the magazine confirmed that Frances Tiafoe is another athlete profiled in the issue.

Sport has truly captured the attention of the fashion industry. The fact that Vogue deemed it necessary to make sports the focus of an entire issue tells us how culturally impactful this new generation of athletes has become. In her cover story, Thomas discusses how she’d lived in her sports world bubble her whole life, and it was only in recent months that she discovered the fashion world. Countless invites to fashion week shows, brand events, red carpet galas, and photoshoots began rolling in following her breakout Olympics success.

Sports has the Vogue stamp of approval, taking a seat at fashion’s top table.

Have you seen Lamar Jackson’s unisex cologne, “Night Life”? We got his #Ravens teammates to try it 😂 #NFL #Football #Baltimore

The Ball family is back, and bigger than ever. The kids from Chino Hill are all grown up and sharing the spotlight like LaVar had always envisioned.

They haven’t been this relevant since 2017 when we followed the family’s Facebook reality show around the world to Lithuania. Now, we’re following them on the music charts and in the box scores. LiAngelo has the hottest song in the game right now, to the point where he’s performing at Rolling Loud.

Austin has had “Tweaker” stuck in his head all weekend … he even sang it to rock his daughter to sleep. #offguard #music #liangeloball #hoops

If LiAngelo got the streets, LaMelo definitely got the kids. The most talented, and irrationally confident Ball brother is the franchise piece for the Hornets, and they’re stuffing All-Star ballots for LaMelo to lead all Eastern Conference guards in votes.

Melo: One of One ⭐️🛸 #lameloball #hornets #nba #basketball #nbaallstar

And of course, there’s the OG Ball brother, Lonzo, who’s finally back on the court. Who isn’t rooting for him to return to form and ball out with the Bulls? He’s got more support than a babyface wrestler this season, and might even jump on a Gelo track in the process.
