Arsenal have today announced a deal with French fashion house Lanvin which will see them become the first-team squad's official tailor, the first deal of its kind in the club's history.

Lanvin will kit out the Gunners, including manager Arsene Wenger, in formal attire to be worn before every Premier League and Champions League home game this season.

The collaboration with a historic Paris brand will last for two seasons, with the opening match of the deal coming this Saturday against Southampton at the Emirates Stadium.

Lanvin Homme creative director Lucas Ossendrijver has designed the attire, which includes a suit in midnight blue with the gold Gunners crest emblazoned on the front and a red silk tie.

Arsenal's latest official partner comes as part of a concerted effort in North London to drive commercial activity, with Gatorade also among their new list of suppliers.
