VERSUS sat down exclusively with BS7 to talk about the seemingly never ending highs of his young but fruitful career, and what’s next for Arsenal’s starboy.

Bukayo arrives with all the grace and modesty one would anticipate of the legendary Arsenal player. He has a natural air of confidence about him as he walks into the changing room, where our stylist is waiting for him.

When ‘B’, as his club rep affectionately calls him, first sees the rail of clothing laid out in front of him, he immediately gravitates toward the loudest, most ‘out-there’ fit on display: an all-leather Prada AW22 boiler suit paired with a leather overcoat and finished with a pair of Gentle Monster sunglasses that the young baller himself specifically chose.

If you couldn’t already tell, as a player and individual, Bukayo is now totally fearless – both in his on-pitch prowess and uncompromising stylistic self-expression. While he’s enjoying his time perusing pieces on offer from some of the biggest fashion labels in the game – Prada, A-COLD-WALL, Off-White and Bottega Veneta to name a few – we kick off the interview.
