Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree can be fashion buddies

I may come up with another post today, but for now, this very random post will be here to keep you entertained.  I definitely think it's sufficiently out there.

After getting drafted, one of the big talking points surrounding Michael Crabtree was his passion for fashion.  I definitely thought it was interesting when he told Mike Singletary about that passion.  Well, looks like we have more than one budding fashionista on the team.

I received an email recently from the folks at Honey Magazine, a magazine that seems to deal with fashion and entertainment, among other things.  They recently had an interview with 49ers tight end Vernon Davis that covered an assortment of fashion-related topics.  We get to hear the designers he thinks are overrated and underrated. I do agree that if you rock some Ferragamo loafers you can look very sharp:

Honey Magazine: Most underrated/overrated designers?
Vernon Davis: Dolce, Gucci and Louis Vuitton make excellent accessories and leather goods, but it’s usually hit or miss with me. I'll contradict myself here, but I got a chance to preview Gucci's menswear Fall ‘09 and woooo!  An underrated designer, in my opinion is Salvatore Ferragamo the classic loafers and dress shirts mixed with their trenches is dope.

We might even see him following in the footsteps of hockey player Sean Avery:

Do you see yourself diving deeper into fashion, joining a fashion house or interning like Kanye?
I think if the right opportunity presents itself I definitely could see my diving deeper in.  Maybe if I was to intern at a major fashion publication like GQ or Men's Vogue. Also I wouldn’t shy from getting my own clothing line or becoming the face of a line. I’ve considered becoming an interior decorator full time once my football career is over.

And of course there's the usual question about teammates:

Do you get any grief from your fellow teammates for being into fashion?
Sometimes [I do], because they can't see themselves wearing a lot of the stuff I wear. They think it's too different: jeans that are a tailored to my body, Swarovski crystals on the back of my jeans, the color combinations I choose and some of the sneakers that I decide to wear. I once wore a blazer that was made out of Godiva wrappers that this young designer asked me to wear. I thought it was extremely different, but that's just the lane I'm in — separate from everyone else.

Feel free to head on over to read the rest of the interview.  Whether you're into fashion or not, it's always interesting to see what interests these guys off the field.  Of course it can also be tough to view them as quite so intimidating after learning:

When is a murse appropriate? Do you carry one?
Yes, I carry one only when I am going to the beach, pool party or outdoor event.

And yes, a murse is a man purse.  I'm certainly glad Vernon Davis is comfortable with that.

My Goodness....

I knew he was different… But not THAT different! I’m now rooting for Bear Pascoe about 20% more than I would have if this story had not stained (in matching color schemes and patters of course) the pages of this fine football establishment!

'bootlace ties'

It’s called a Bolo.

For a second there I thought you talking about ‘lacers’.

Crabtree is clutch

wow

…just wow.

I’ve considered becoming an interior decorator full time once my football career is over.

and this week on Trading Spaces we have special guest decorator Vernon “The Disease” Davis who will be making over the Johnson’s house in his contemprorary “Dreadlock Alligator Arms Motif”

and in his 4th season, VD broke through the wall, Niners fan rejoiced and all was well in the kingdom. Singletary 3:42

say what you want and consider it not “manly” but I promise you there are a lot more gay football players in the league than there are wannabe interior designers. I see nothing wrong with it but maybe thats because I like to look good too(but they are out of price range) dolce and luie? Who are they….:) Man purse or not Vernon is still a beast and would not want to strap up across the line from him anytime.

Vernon "Man Purse" Davis

I cant wait to re-new my Honey mag subscription to read about this muscular, candy-handed Tight End and his Swarovsky crystals on the back of his tailored jeans!!! WTF. Where is Brent Jones?

Is anyone really considering bashing a man for his fashion?? Men dress nice all across the world, no big deal

It's not about dressing nice.

But he wants to be an interior decorator?

I’m a clean dude and I like to look my best but I don’t “decorate” things.

It doesn’t matter though, as long as he doesn’t bring his “murse” to the field I’m cool with him.

I don't get it

So… dressing nice is cool because, you know, you like to dress nice too, but interior decoration isn’t that cool because, you know, like, it’s not your thing?

Interior decorating is just dressing nice for your home. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that.

Just keep the house clean.

I see no point in getting all worked up over curtains and stuff.

I’d wear a pair of dope ass jeans if I had the money for ’em.

I’m sure you probably get this a lot, but did Ceaser actually live here?

Please don't post anything about Crabs being a Diva here.

What a surprise, a young black male from an urban high school is “into fashion”. There is nothing here.

I’ll bet this information means Vernon Davis wouldn’t be able to beat me up!

This ...

… is not the sort of thing that is going to put a stop to all those annoying taunts about being gay that we were lamenting about in the “taunting in sports” thread.

Nothing wrong with a multimillionaire celebrity being into fashion, I suppose.

…But I think we should refer to Davis as ‘The Duchess’ instead of the Duke now <_<
