Rugby legend, Phil Vickery launches clothing label

FORMER England rugby player, Phil Vickery, has handpicked a University of Manchester student to front a new collection by his leisurewear line Raging Bull.

Joaquin West is a part time model alongside his studies and was already a fan of the clothing line when he got the call. Describing Phil as a “rugby legend”, Joaquin immediately said yes to the opportunity. Although still at university, he said he would love to further pursue modelling after his degree.

Renowned photographer Daniel Kennedy has been enlisted to shoot the collection and having previously taken images of Angelina Jolie, Madonna and David Beckham.

Known for its high quality leisurewear and sportswear ranges for men and women, the brand already has a celebrity following including Peter Andre and Jack Osbourne. It focuses on functionality, innovative design and durability whilst trying to remain authentic and stylish for shoppers.

Having modelled for the last collection himself, Phil Vickery said he was “more than happy to share the responsibility with Joaquin”. He believes Joaquin is a brilliant ambassador for the brand and hopes that Raging Bull will continue to go from strength to strength with the launch of the new collection.
