Deep Blue Footwear

Factory 54 launches a new collection for men with a series of photos led by footballer Daniel Peretz, starring for the first time in fashion shoots.

For years, footballers have enjoyed mingling with the fashion world. Similar to Messi, Ronaldo, or Neymar, who model for campaigns for major fashion houses, the local version is now being launched with a fashion production starring Daniel Peretz. The photography team, procurement, and styling chose David Beckham as the inspirational model, and 23-year-old Peretz naturally stepped into his shoes and modeled the new items for the autumn season.

The photos opened with a series of denim items - Peretz wore a total look from Discovert, including jeans and a button-down shirt. Another denim look was courtesy of the L'avenir fashion house, upgraded with Puma's Palermo sneakers in new shades of blue and orange. For the classic denim and white T-shirt look, Daniel wore a shirt from Bottega Veneta with Valentino jeans.

In the sharp genre, Peretz presented a Discovord jacket in navy, paired with Puma's Palermo sneakers in blue and white. To create a look inspired by Hollywood figures like Brad Pitt, Daniel opted for a white undershirt, foregoing the jacket, and kept with the black classic suit from Discovord, accessorized with a black cap and sneakers from the brand.

The masculine answer to the barber trend sweeping the fashion world these days was provided by the Moncler brand's Total Look - including a white T-shirt with a V-neck and a Papar set in bright pink and gray joggers at a moderate length.

Price range: NIS 500-6,490. The new collection is now available at Factory 54 stores across the country and online.
