Thierry Henry
Thierry Henry caused chaos in London when he launched his own new fashion line to raise money for charity yesterday.
The former Arsenal star has swapped football for fashion and collaborated with designer Tommy Hilfiger to create the new range with all proceeds going to his charity foundation.
London's Regent Street was brought to a standstill as he modelled the collection in the window of the label's flagship store.
Police were forced to hold back hundreds of fans desperate to catch a glimpse of the famous player. The were particularly keen because this was Henry's first public appearance in the UK since leaving Arsenal for Barcelona this summer.
All profits from the collection will go to the One 4 All Foundation, set up to fight against racism and social inequality.
Henry explained: "Its aim is to help underprivileged kids in underprivileged areas. They are the future - not just the kids who have chances and money and the right schools, but the ones from the streets.
"One of them could be the future prime minister but if you don't give them the chance then obviously they won't."
The capsule collection is available in select Tommy Hilfiger stores worldwide.
Henry split from his wife of four years, model Claire Merry, around the time of his move to Barcelona, and they were granted a "quickie" divorce last month. The couple have a two-year-old daughter, Tea, who has remained in England.
The star revealed he has made regular trips back to London since quitting Arsenal. "I love London, it was such a big part of my life and it's a very important place to me," he said.
