David Alaba wants to work in fashion industry

Almost a year ago, David Alaba gave an interview to Hypebeast in which he explained his relationship with fashion. Now, the Austrian Bayern Munich defender has returned to explain his vision of the world of aesthetics in an interview with Felicia Pennant on Matches Fashion - Men. As the journalist explained, it was the same player to chose the items for the shooting. 

Alaba, in fact, is not just a collector or a fan. He is indeed deeply interested about fashion phenomena, interested not only in the care and search for his own style, but also in the messages and campaigns of brands; he tries to understand the mechanisms, dialogues about it in the Bayern Munich's locker room and he told that attended the Fashion Week shows live, also in Milan. 

"If you wear pieces you don't see every day with a little bit of confidence, it automatically looks better.’I sometimes wear necklaces, but I don’t show them a lot on Instagram. I don’t like rings on myself. My teammates Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sané are big ring guys. It looks really good and I wanted to try it out."

Alaba recalled his favorite fashion brands - Second/Layer, Maison Margiela, Loewe, and Bottega Veneta - and explained that fashion is also a topic chatted inside Bayern Munich's locker room. Above all, he revealed that the teammates with whom he talks more about fashion and with whom he goes shopping (when it was possible) are Boateng, Gnabry, Chupo-Moting. Moreover, Alaba is owner of a personal brand, DA27, a business that testifies to its interest in fashion, and that already presaies its future. "In the future, I see myself in fashion". These are his own words.  

The interview also shows a lot of the multifaceted side of Alaba, which like other colleagues - Rashford, Bellerin - uses its tone of voice to spread important messages and has many interests beyond football. Fashion, of course, but also social issues, and above all, racism.
