Which Professional Athlete Won Men’s Fashion Week?

It's almost surprising how long it's taken professional athletes to get invested in the high fashion world, given the lack of sartorial options available to the Big & Tall (and we've seen what can happen when they try to go custom). But if the past week proved anything, it's that a handful of athletes are really, really here for New York Men's Fashion Week. Below, a look at the select few ballers who brought out their inner #fashion, for better or for worse.

The Golden State Warriors' Andre Iguodala wore all black at Public School

And accessorizing with wife Gabrielle Union and some very Virgil Abloh headwear

Which are apparently his go-to NYFWM staples

He was basically in the Thom Browne show, posing in a white button-down
