To celebrate our breakout year, and to continue to bridge the gap between football, music, fashion and culture, GAFFER linked up with StockX to host our first end of year party.

As we approach the end of another decade of incredible football achievement, we take a look at the vital role the game plays in shaping the world we live in today. Exclusively Curated by GAFFER, the two week exhibition is on display in the new StockX drop-off pop-up shop on 47 Poland Street, Soho, London, W1F 7ND, from the 6th December to December 15th.

GAFFER produced the exclusive photoshoot for the new genre-defining collaboration which sees 424 become the official formal wear partner of Arsenal. We also caught up with 424 founder Guillermo Andrade and Hector Bellerin behind the scenes to find out more about this landmark collaboration.

After finally perfecting the latest garments of her graduate collection this past June, Sophie Hird was eager to find suitable candidates to wear and sport her ornate designs.

GAFFER Issue 02: Heart & Soul honours the way football cultivates community spirit, empowers the next generation and gives fans, teams and players something bigger and more beautiful to believe in. To celebrate the launch of the new issue, we’re introducing you to our five cover stars; a special collective of people who are driving the culture to new heights and changing the face of the game forever.

To celebrate the relationship between the female form of the game and the myriad of creative industries out there, we spoke to a collective of inspiring London-based women about their creative professions, how living in the capital has fuelled their creative endeavours and the long-lasting impact of this summer’s Women’s World Cup.
