Arsene Wenger finally spent big in the summer snapping up German star Mesut Ozil for £42.5million and now the Frenchman has returned to more familiar territory for Arsenal's latest signing.
The Gunners boss and his players will now wear suits tailored by Lanvin on selected club appearances, including all home matches in the Barclays Premier League and UEFA Champions League.
The Paris-based fashion house was created in 1889 by Jeanne Lanvin, one of the most influential designers of the 1920s and '30s.
The Gunners boss and his players will now wear suits tailored by Lanvin on selected club appearances, including all home matches in the Barclays Premier League and UEFA Champions League.
This collaboration, the first of its kind for both the club and the fashion house, will be officially unveiled at Arsenal's match against Southampton on Saturday and will last for two seasons.
Designed under the expert eye of Lucas Ossendrijver, designer at Lanvin Homme, this official wardrobe combines the classic style both Arsenal and Lanvin are renowned for.

The Arsenal crest is stylishly emblazoned on the front of the jacket in gold and the choice of material for the suits consists of Italian Super 110 in midnight blue.
A slim-fit shirt in white cotton poplin with a small collar and double cuffs will be accessorised with a red silk tie or a handmade red silk bow tie for more formal occasions.
A pair of black derby shoes, a black silver-buckled belt and a pair of cufflinks engraved with the famous Arsenal cannon add the finishing touches.
Vinai Venkatesham, Arsenal’s sales and marketing director, said of the partnership: 'We are delighted to welcome Lanvin to the Club as our official tailor.
