Tom Daley wears a cropped sweater designed for an Ami Paris Pride fundraiser. “He was sending me every step of the process on WhatsApp, including pictures of him wearing the sweater in his bathroom.” “He’s playing with fashion in a very nice way, and he’s very curious,” Mattiussi said about the athlete. “I have to admit it took time to get the logo right, but I had fun,” Daley confessed, noting that the cable-knit sweater was even “more difficult to achieve.” Mattiussi said he and Daley quickly settled on rainbow sweaters for this creative collaboration: one based on a cropped cable-knit from the Ami Paris fall 2022 collection the other incorporating the brand’s Ami de Coeur logo, consisting of a capital “A” sprouting a heart.Īll thumbs when it comes to knitting, Mattiussi marveled how Daley was able to integrate the logo so seamlessly. “He’s one of a kind - such a sweet, gorgeous, clever and talented guy.” “I’ve been a huge fan of his for years,” he said, revealing the collaboration exclusively to WWD. “I think society is slowly getting away from that and it is really exciting.”Īmi Paris founder and creative director Alexandre Mattiussi said it was a thrill to collaborate with the athlete, who has racked up four Olympic medals. “Most importantly, I don’t like to necessarily conform with gender stereotypes,” he continued.

Five out of five,” he joked.Īnother item in poor taste was a shirt celebrating the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized same-sex marriage. “This deer looks like it’s in actual physical pain that gay people exist, and honestly, me too. Then there was a yard flag with a deer that said, “Oh deer, I’m queer.” Clary wasn’t a fan of it either.
“Honestly, I think some underpaid designer just accidentally tripped and slapped this on a shirt,” he said of a “Live Love LGBT” tee. Five out of five.”Ĭlary then moved on to reviewing another shirt. “I want to say the design here was lacking, but honestly, it would probably feel worse if they actually put effort into this. “I’m immediately obsessed that someone decided to throw a derogatory term on a shirt for Pride month,” Clary wrote.
