Juventus and Italy legend now has own glasses brand after being inspired by David Beckham’s style
JUVENTUS legend Alessandro Del Piero has a successful eyewear brand which he launched after being inspired by David Beckham.
The legendary striker launched his fashion line Air Dp a few years ago which specialises in glasses.
Del Piero has opened up stores all across Italy and had hoped to expand his empire to the UK.
Air Dp offer glasses and sunglasses for men and women with prices ranging from £128 to £275.
Del Piero showed off a few from the collection on a recent appearance on CBS Sports, gifting pairs to his colleagues Thierry Henry, Micah Richards and Kate Abdo who all loved their presents.
The former Italy star admitted on his show that he has a pair of glasses to match every outfit he wears, and there are no shortage of options for customers to choose from on the website.
The stores also sell trainers and raincoats, with Del Piero revealing he was inspired by Beckham and admitting he has a British sense of style.
He said: “England is elegant and civil.
“What I missed out on with football, I could live through my brand. I would like to expand the style and my product — and bring it to England.
“I feel I’ve always felt I have a British sense of style. I like that and admit it freely.
