Paris Saint-Germain is breaking new ground with this five-star fashion collaboration. For starters, it’s a first for Dior, which has never before teamed up with a sports club.

And while PSG has previously collaborated with, and embraced the outfits of, major brands like Hugo Boss and Jordan Brand, never has the club rubbed shoulders with a full-blown fashion house.
