Yes, There is Haute Couture and Style During the Super Bowl. That's How Celebrities Show Love.

 By Laura Medina



According to you all fashionistas and stylistos, sports and haute couture do not mix.  

To any football fan knows better, the Super Bowl is when true handcrafted haute couture collides with sports in a blasting bedazzling way.

No better than when Los Angeles/Hollywood celebrates hosting the 56th Super Bowl.

What most don't know is that musicians and actors are big sports nuts.  Sports, for them, is a nice break from their careers and talents.  Die hard Snoop Dogg fans knows Snoop Dogg is a PeeWee football coach during his down time and is a football freak.

With Los Angeles hosting the Super Bowl in mostly African-American neighborhood of Inglewood, the locals can't help showing some LA Love and California Love than giving the Super Bowl, the Hollywood Respect and Love, meaning they're showering the Super Bowl and football in style.

During this week's LA edition of Super Bowl Fan Experience, it's dripping in equal fun and style.

Obviously, the Super Bowl's Halftime Show catches fashionistas' eyeballs.  In the heart of the Super Bowl Fan Experience, there's an iconic costume Half Time Show exhibit.  Pure fashion history museum from Katy Perry's Shark to Lady Gaga to The Weekend's ruby blazer, and Prince's Super Bowl Halftime Suit....

Fashionistas' eyeballs will be balling over the exhibit of bedazzled football helmets leading to the engraved Super Bowl rings and the Vince Lombardi Trophy itself, in exhibit.


There are women football fans. They'll be more impressed if you give them a bedazzled NFL helmet, instead of a ring.  Today's young ladies can buy their own rings.  Bedazzled NFL helmets are much more rare and more meaningful.


Women football fan's football allegiance starts from high school to college to adulthood.  This is why collegiate prep is elevated by Vineyard Vine's Super Bowl collection, that is exclusively sold at the main headquarters of the NFL Shop at the Los Angeles Convention Center West Hall, where the Super Bowl Fan Experience is located down the hall, in the East Hall.

Mind you, none of this is sold online.  It's an exclusive, in person shopping at the NFL Shop Headquarters in Los Angeles Convention Center West Hall.

Again, once the Super Bowl is over, so are the clothes. All and everything disappears.





Michael Strahan's Super Bowl 56 Touchdown Satin Jacket is haute couture, very rare and very limited and difficult to find, already sold-out!




Who would had thought New York Giant turned current Good Morning America host, 

Michael Strahan was an haute couture fashion designer?!

This is how they show love for the sport. They become fashion designers.

While his mainstream line, http://www.michaelstrahan.com/shop/ , he has his athleisure line, MSX by Michael Strahan, https://shop.michaelstrahan.com/

Wait! Lo and behold, he created an haute couture collection with New Jersey-based graphic artist Brian Begley, just for Super Bowl 56th, that can only be found at the week-long main headquarter NFL Shop.


His limited edition collection, another speak for haute couture, 

Men's Super Bowl LVI Starter x MSX by Michael Strahan Blue/Cream Skyline collection is a sequined and hand sewn patch work of California Sky Blue and California Beach Sand Beige bomber and track suit jackets, hoodies, and tee-shirts.  Since Michael specializes in the untapped athleisure men's market, his Men's Super Bowl LVI Starter x MSX by Michael Strahan are all in Men's size.  So ladies, you all may have to down size by one or two sizes down for a proper fit.



Michael Strahan partnered with his former New York Giants colleague Carl Banks on an exclusive Super Bowl LVI collection that brings together their two apparel brands: MSX by Michael Strahan and Starter.

Strahan had worked with G-III, Starter’s manufacturing partner, in 2020 on a collection designed to honor the NFL’s 100th season. The success of that collection led the companies to expand the offering in 2021 to include apparel for all 32 NFL teams. Now Starter has jumped into the action, working with Strahan on an MSX x Starter collaboration.

“The Super Bowl was a significant moment in my career, and since Los Angeles is hosting this year, we knew as a brand that we wanted to go even bigger with our NFL licensed game day apparel,” said Strahan. “We designed loud and proud prints and patterns to represent our excitement.”

Banks, a former Giants linebacker, is president of G-III Apparel Group’s Sports Licensing Division. Strahan was a defensive end for the Giants for 15 seasons and has parlayed his on-field success into a multipronged career in entertainment and fashion. He created his Michael Strahan Collection in 2015 and expanded into activewear, MSX, the next year.

“Starter has been a pioneer of sports and fashion within the retail industry for decades,” said Banks. “Bringing this unique collaboration to one of the biggest sports stages in the world with my former teammate and now business partner is an absolute thrill for me and G-III.”

The collection will include limited-edition varsity jackets, which will retail for $195 to $220, track jackets ($135 to $155), hoodies ($120), T-shirts ($50 to $75) and women’s varsity jackets ($185). Curated by New Jersey-based graphic artist Brian Begley, the collection was designed to evoke the Los Angeles sunset and Hollywood skyline.

It will be available beginning Feb. 5 at The NFL Experience in Los Angeles, which was a week ago.  This is why the Touchdown Jacket is already gone!

See, fashionistas and stylistos, the NFL is sporting style!
