If you thought you looked cool cycling down Victoria Park on your vintage racer, think again. The master of art that is BMX and a hunky dreamboat we’d love to go for a Roman holiday with, Nigel Sylvester is taking us all on a stroll up, down and all around the Fendi HQ at Palazzo Dela Civiltà Italiana. Turning from a music venue into a sports arena, the monumental architectural achievement continues its evolution through the F is For… Fendi project. After a rooftop gig in February, Fendi hired Sylvester to prove just how action-friendly are the menswear looks from their SS19 collection. Rear wheel jumps and 360° flips (is that what you call them?) – the morning commute cycle just got a bit more challenging, and much more chic. And just because it’s Fendi, there’s even a custom BMX bike covered in the signature F-logo print to complete the full lewk.
“Freedom is riding my bicycle around the world. Using it as my playground, as a place where I can dream and express myself,” Sylvester says. We wouldn’t expect anything less poetic from a man who’s name-checked by Jay-Z in a Frank Ocean song. And when faced with the most important question, this modern-day Romeo charms even more… F is For…? “Flowing.” Where do we sign the papers? No prenup needed…
