Fashion has become more important in football, with tunnel walks emerging as a key moment for players to express their personal style and make a statement off the field, leading to Hellmann's first-ever fashion collection, House of Hellmann's. Designed by Streetwear Designer Zero Waste Daniel, House of Hellmann's is an all-denim fashion collection that challenges the "no white after Labor Day" rule.
In this crisp white three-piece denim collection, there's a hat, a jacket and a pair of pants featuring motifs inspired by Hellmann's iconic ribbon.
Created for tastemakers and tailgaters alike, this first-of-its-kind fashion collection is set to make its debut on New York Football Giants linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux, styled by Kyle Smith, during his pre-game tunnel walk. Online, the House of Hellmann's collection officially drops on September 8th.
