We’ve got our penultimate close up of the World Champions Collection today, as we take a closer look at our near neighbours France. We’ll start by taking a quick glance behind the scenes at Charlene Suric modelling the French shirt…

The shirt was designed by French cultural icon André. Originally known for his graffiti painting, André is now recognised for opening hip nightclubs in Paris, New York and Tokyo, and for collaborating on shop openings and artworks around the world. Here’s what he had to say about his design…

‘Umbro represents a classic brand, and I always like to design crests and logos. I try to be as simple and direct as possible.’

‘What do I like about football? I like the round ball.’

‘French symbols and the colours of the flag inspired my design, and sometimes I’m inspired by football’s culture and aesthetic.’
