Croatia water polo players with style
Water polo players from Split's team Jadran have become stars of New York Times. Not because of their play, but because of their perfect hard bodies presented in designer clothes on the pages of famous newspaper's fashion section.
In their sport club in Split guys have posed in clothes by fameous designers such as Dries Van Noten, Ralph Lauren, Luis Vuitton, Versace etc. Story is a result of a last August's study trip to Split by editor Bruce Pasko and photographer John Balsom.
First Croatia's natural beauties have inspired American fashion line The Territory Ahead, which has published in its spring catalog photos of Croatia and named clothes after Croatia's tourist areas, and now this linkage of sport and fashion is a step further in sophisticated promotion of Croatian tourism in the USA.
I mean, you have to admit, guys are looking great! As the NYT article says:
this season, nothing beats a great pair of legs!
