    Kits for Clubs

Football, art and fashion often collide in the most unexpected ways. A moment of elegance on the pitch or images of celebrating crowds may resemble a fine art painting, and this contrast is at the heart of Louis Bever’s photography as he blends football shirt culture with the greatest artists the world has ever seen. Lyle & Scott's latest football kits and upcoming autumn collection come to life in these powerful portraits. Featuring the hardworking heroes of London's grassroots football scene against striking backdrops inspired by Francis Bacon and Thomas Gainsborough, this series captures the spirit of dedication and artistry.
