Certain athletes have it: the swagger, the finesse, the style that tips them from masterful to transcendent. ESPN The Magazine’s “Style Report” issue focuses on this important factor—from features on cover athlete and hometown hero Derrick Rose’s Chicago-inspired flair to longtime sports fan Tommy Hilfiger reimagining the uniforms of the Yankees, Lakers, Cowboys and Canadiens. “I’ve always come from a fundamental mind-set of mixing fashion with function,” Hilfiger says. “It’s important to create a design that both represents a team and has a lasting impression.”
