Nakata X Mr Porter

MR PORTER has a GREAT COVER STORY of Retired Japanese Footballer, Hidetoshi Nakata - both a Fave Sportsman and a Style Icon of many around the world, myself included...   Retired at an early age of 29, this guy is sorely missed in the World of Football... having represent his country in three World Cups and play in the Italian Serie A and English Premier League.

Since retiring, he has said to have traveled and visited as much as, 100 countries... he is said to be education himself with the ways of the world...  he's mentioned that, though he has traveled to many places with the sport, it was always for that, not much in the ways of seeing the sights and experiencing the wonders of each countries visited... so he is making up for it all now...

Though retired, he is still very much considered a part of Football....  many will always associate him with the sports and being soooo stylish....   of late he has done ADVERTS for Calvin Klein Underwear, COKE ZERO, etc....   as well as, many fashion editorials and cover stories for a number of magazines...  with Mr Porter being the latest....

Hidetoshi Nakata

He has to be ASIA's answer to Mr David Beckham... just as stylish and a total Metrosexual!!! I was always looking out for his TV and Magazine appearances as he was always stylishly changing his looks - from head to toes - like a total fashionista that he is - on (and even more so) and off the soccer field!!! Sadly, he has hung up his soccer shoes - but am happy that he is still very much visible in the fashion/entertainment scene... with the latest being part of the "X Marks the Spot" brand new ad campaign for Calvin Klein undies...

Below is a BLOG I did on Hidetoshi Nakata way back in 2007 elsewhere... thought I would bring it over here, as I will be doing, now and then, with a few FAVE Blogs of mine... hahahahahaha

Introducing: Hidetoshi Nakata (Nov. 2007)

One of the BEST reason to get into SOCCER.... too bad I hear he is already retiring/retired.... am pretty sure though that he will be gracing a lot of magazines/TV shows to come..... Just got the latest M's Magazine with him on the cover.... his hair is long now... still hi-lited.... for me he is a TOTAL IDOL/STYLE ICON -- on or off the field; in or out of his uniform; heck, with or without clothes!!! hahahahaha

FIFA misses you both....
