Hilary Alexander, Football (Er, Soccer) Commentator?

Fashion and sports don’t often mix, but leave it to the World Cup to bring these two disparate worlds together. Louis Vuitton designed the carrying case for the World Cup Trophy.

Dolce & Gabbana outfits the Italian national team. Soccer players are such lovely specimens that they often double as models (see David Beckham for Armani, Kaka for Armani, and Freddie Ljungberg for Calvin Klein to name a few).

But the funniest instance of the worlds of fashion and football colliding happened yesterday, when the Daily Telegraph’s Hilary Alexander essentially live-twittered the England-Germany match. The Brit paper’s fashion director proved she is just as serious about football as she is about fashion. Well, almost.
