Many think that high fashion is something that is only limited to the domain of the runway, not the poker tables. However, one look at some of the best dressed poker players can change your opinion for sure. Let’s acquaint you with 3 of them here in this short article.
Marcel Luske
He is one popular poker player who would either go with a jacket and a trouser rather than jumpers and jeans. The style has served him very well too. Widely referred to as the ‘Flying Dutchman’, his live poker tournament cash outs go as far back as 1999.
Although you can refer to all kinds of style guides for poker players and other gamblers, dressing up like Marcel Luske is not too hard. The talented poker player hails from Amsterdam, and is always seen wearing a tailored suit whenever he sits down at the poker table. The primary difference between how he dresses compared to other sharp dresses is that you will always see him wearing trendy pair of shades. Not just that, he often wears them upside down! His style has served them fairly well as he has already won over $ 5 million playing live poker tournaments.
Bertrand ‘Elky’ Grospellier
Whenever anyone talks about best dressed poker players, their opinion is often relative, just like the word ‘best’ is. As the popular saying goes, one man’s meat could be another’s poison. There are many poker players who go all lengths to stand out from others, so much so that you might mistake them to be dressed up for a fancy dress party. One such popular poker player is Bertrand ‘Elky’ Grospellier. Counted amongst the funkiest dressed players in the poker world, he’s a French man whose unique style works amazingly well for him, and is a true reflection of his personality. Elky hails from France, and hence there’s a flamboyance and Gallic flair in his genes. Having spent considerable time in South Korea, where he used to play professionally, his clothing is also heavily influenced from Asia. He bleaches hair all white and often jells them into crazy styles including Mohawk, plain spikes etc. it complements his clothing pretty well, which is often brightly coloured leather jackets, crazy pattern T-shirts and the kinds.
Charlie Carrel
Giving Elky company in the bizarrely dressed category of poker players is Charlie Carell, the well-known British youngster in the poker world. He is fantastic at poker tables and maintains a psychedelic style. If you were to describe his dressing sense in two words, it would be hippy chic. You will often see him dressed in crazy T-shirts, brightly coloured pants, weird hoodies and stuff that he picks up from all kinds of places in the world. Charlie never maintains a low profile wherever he goes and is always conspicuous in the way he dresses. Like the other poker players we mentioned above, his style perfectly suits his personality.
With climate change in the news on a daily basis, there’s never been a better time to consider investing in ethical fashion. There’s a lot more to it than bamboo T-shirts. The term embraces design, materials sourcing, garment production and retail. Ethical fashion houses have to take into account fair trade, working conditions, animal welfare, sustainability and the environment.
Another aspect of ethically produced apparel is what happens to it when it comes to the end of its useful life. in the United Kingdom alone, one million tons of clothing every year are added to landfill sites.
Many modern textiles are manufactured using plastics, which are derived from fossil fuels. These take forever to break down and shed wispy fibers that end up everywhere, from the bottom of sea to inside our own bodies.
The high price of cotton
Cotton is a natural fiber popular for its breathability. Modern growing methods mean that it can be produced rapidly in large quantities with cost savings often passed on to the consumer. However, cottonistas enjoy cheap textiles at a huge price to the environment.
Producing cotton consumes 22.5 percent of the world’s insecticides and 10 percent of global pesticides. These chemicals are harmful to the environment and to the farmers who produce it.
Textile growing damages the environment. Scientists have measured the Aral Sea in Central Asia, and determined that its former volume has been decreased by 15 percent largely be cause of the massive amount of water needed to grow and dye cotton.
Ethical fashion, while an excellent idea, not come cheap. A pair of leggings can set you back as much as $50. As a well as bookmarking sites like the Ethical Fashion Forum and Common Objective, it might come in handy to store a site like mobilbetslots.com in your bookmarks.
Sustainable Fashion Houses
A growing number of fashion houses are putting sustainability at the top of their agenda. We’re going to take a look at five of them: Gudrun Sjödén, Lucy and Yak, Sadeem, Stella McCartney and Zena Presley.
Gudrun Sjoden
Gudrun Sjodrun shows that ethical fashion isn’t about wearing unbleached muslin and oat-coloured knit sweaters. This ambitious Swede has designs on showing the world how much vibrant color can be achieved by pushing sustainability without sacrificing an a ounce of aesthetic appeal.
The first Gudrun Sjödén store opened in Stockholm in 1976. Over the years, it’s proprietor has amassed a collection of awards, including King of Sweden’s Litteris et Artibus Medal and a sustainability award from ELLE Magazine.
Lucy and Yak
Yak is the name of the van that Lucy and partner Chris dwelt and traveled in after quitting their jobs in New Zealand and deciding to travel the world and turn their fashion designing dreams into reality. Their first collection consisted of a series of tobacco pouches they fashioned from old clothes and sold to other travelers.
Lucy and Chris started out stitching their wares on a New Zealand beach. You can’t beat that for environmentally-friendly working conditions and low overheads. They’ve since migrated to the UK, where they have bricks and mortar premises and 13 workers.
Sadeem
Sadeem’s dream is to make luxury ethical. The clean lines and luxurious feel of his garments are the product of his acute attention to detail and focus on quality. The nontoxic fabrics that appear in Sadeem’s fashion are sourced from like-minded suppliers. His collections are inspired by Manhattan, Art Deco, the glamorous lifestyle of the yachting community, and his birthplace of Saudi Arabia.
Stella McCartney
While three-quarters of this label’s sustainable-minded suppliers are located in Italy, Stella also sources from China, Hungary, India, Portugal and Spain. Many have worked with her since she established the brand in 2001.
The company designs clothing for men, women and children, as well as shoes and bags. They have also produced a range of sports clothing, footwear, and accessories for Adidas.
Zena Presley
Currently living in Dubai, Syrian-born Zena is expandíng her business online to eliminate the middle-man and bricks and mortar stores. This strategy will enable the brand to offer mid to high end womenswear at competitive prices. Zena believes in:
Celebrating the feminine figure
Modern, artistic, colorful wear
Fair compensation
Fair prices
Reducing waste
Slow, ethical fashion
By wearing ethical fashion apparel, you’re saving the environment and providing better working conditions and adequate compensation to workers all over the planet. At a time when the global ecosystem is in existential peril, the additional cost is worth it.

2. Gucci Mane x Gucci
The fashion world was pleasantly surprised to see that rapper Gucci Mane collaborated with Gucci on their Cruise 2020 Collection, marking the announcement with a fun campaign. Gucci Mane has been a fan of the brand since he came up with his rap name ca. 2001, and after almost two decades, the brand he loves welcomed him with a warm embrace.
Though we haven’t seen many pieces from the collection, we can predict that it will be…signature Gucci: luxurious, brilliant, and full of bold monograms and colors.
3. Nicki Minaj x Fendi
Nicki Minaj turned her Chun Li lyrics, “Bentley tints on, Fendi prints on..” into a fly collaboration with Italian house, Fendi. Her capsule collection included pink hued Fendi Monogram dresses, silver and pink puffer coats, sporty sneakers, and sweatshirts with her visage printed on the back.
Her collection was announced with a beautiful campaign, shot by Steven Klein. Various cities around the nation celebrated the launch with celeb and champagne laced fetes.
Chloe x Halle, Bonang Matheba, Kandi and daughter Riley Burruss, and more were all fans of the pink and silver Fendi prints.
It’s certainly rare for a female rapper to collaborate with a luxury fashion house. Nicki did that, and deserves recognition.
4. Zendaya x Law Roach x Tommy Hilfiger
Zendaya collaborated with longtime stylist and image architect Law Roach for a 70’s inspired collection with Tommy Hilfiger. The first collection bowed at the historic The Théâtre des Champs–Élysées in Paris (the site of Josephine Baker’s debut in France) with a mostly black cast of models of all sizes that included legends Pat Cleveland and Grace Jones. Their 2nd collection was presented at yet another historical venue: The Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York.
It’s clear Law and Zendaya are not only making a style statement with beautiful clothes, but also a political statement on the beauty of diversity. Famous celeb friends like Skai Jackson, Storm Reid, and yours truly were all on board, wearing Zendaya x Tommy designs for red carpet events and TV appearances:

5. Laquan Smith x Jordache
LaQuan Smith has been on a solid upward trajectory for quite some time. His latest coup? A collaboration with denim brand, Jordache.
Though we haven’t seen pieces from the line as yet, we can only hope that there will be some iterations present of pieces from his Spring 2020 line.
6. Rihanna x LVMH for Fenty
That Rihanna reign just won’t let up. To whit: The Bajan born artist, beauty magnate, and lingerie designer moved into clothing design with her own Fenty Line this year, housed under French luxury conglomerate LVMH. As we reported here, “Fenty [is] the first fashion house launched [for LVMH] from the ground since Christian Lacroix in 1987. Not to mention, Rihanna [is] the first woman to create an original brand at LVMH and the first Black woman at the top of an LVMH brand. “
That alone deserves many rounds of applause. And no surprises here: the line is fantastic. From sunglasses to shoes and separates, everything is bomb.
