Thierry Henry launches own clothing line
Published Thursday, Oct 4 2007, 12:21 BST | By Kimberley Dadds
French footballer Thierry Henry has launched his own clothing range alongside designer Tommy Hilfiger to raise money for charity.
The former Arsenal star helped design the clothes and modelled the collection in a store window in London, causing police to have to hold back hundreds of fans trying to see him.
The money raised from the fashion range will go towards the One 4 All Foundation which fights against racism.
Henry said about the range: "Its aim is to help underprivileged kids in underprivileged areas. They are the future - not just the kids who have chances and money and the right schools, but the ones from the streets.
"One of them could be the future prime minister but if you don't give them the chance then obviously they won't."
