Players is a 2025 project by Carine Roitfeld and her son Vladimir Roitfeld, focusing on the intersection of sports and style. The premium, large-format magazine features athletes and fashion icons in curated editorial content.
AOC noticed this morning the “First Annual Players of the Year” where the Players IG highlights “the best dressed talent across sports, fashion, and entertainment” with one pick in a category.
Players wrote about Best Designer Debut and Best Dressed Man:
A$AP Rocky just became Chanel’s new house ambassador, right as Matthieu Blazy’s debut turns the industry on its head.
Bottega Veneta launches the ‘Readymade’ Pre-Spring 2024 campaign, with A$AP Rocky and Kendall Jenner featured in ‘paparazzi style’ images.
The rapper is fresh off becoming PUMA x Formula 1’s new creative director. Note that the new father of son #2 knows the inside business strategies of PUMA, due to partner Rihanna’s longstanding FENTY X PUMA relationship.
The Bottega Veneta campaign was actually shot by paparazzi who license images through Getty Images and Backgrid. The stars are always pursued by street-style photographers, so Kendall Jenner and A$AP Rocky just dressed in the new Bottega Veneta Pre-Spring [Resort] collection and hit the streets — knowing that the images would go viral.
The best story about Rihanna’s and A$AP Rocky’s impossibly-enchanting baby boy being on the cover of British Vogue is how the parents responded to a split second flicker of a camera lens in the distance on the day of the March 2023 issue photo shoot.
The sun was beginning to set on a private stretch of beach in Malibu. The pending moment was a true coming out party, as baby prepared for his global debut. His charming and infectious smile was ready to be beamed out over countless websites and IG shares — on strict terms set by his mama and papa.
Photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin [IG] were ready to shoot the cover. British Vogue EIC Edward Enninful found the setup absolutely perfect. All systems were go.
