Inter-Milan and Cameroon's thigh-tastic star striker Samuel Eto'o glams it up on the cover and inside the June 2010 L'Uomo Vogue. Africa's star World Cup-bound footballer—last seen flirting in Vanity Fair and bulging on and off-the-field—is lensed by Pierpaolo Ferrari and models fashion by Tom Ford (above), Dries van Noten and Prada.
The L'Uomo Vogue issue is devoted to World Cup footballers and fashion. The editorials are luxe, neo-classical and haute couture. Eto'o, who is sponsored by PUMA, also models pieces by OUT 100 artist Kehinde Wiley's new pattern series for PUMA seen below. Last winter, PUMA commissioned Wiley to paint the portraits of footballers Eto'o, John Mensah of Ghana and Emmanuel Eboué of Ivory Coast. The magazine's cover is AFTER THE JUMP ...
I’ve always noticed that the Cameroonians seem to be way more stylish than the Ghanaians or the Nigerians.
Are the ethnic groups of Cameroon just more fashion savvy? Did the uptight British succeed in making Ghanaians and Nigerians ashamed of having flair? Is there a happy Cameroonian/French synergy going on?
