"Clothes maketh the man!": Meet the man turning football shirts into works of art

What we wear says something important about us; it's a statement about who we are and what we stand for, and can influence how others perceive us.

Christian Jeffrey used to be a shirt designer for a major sports wear brand, but had a desire to find an even more creative outlet and combine his knowledge of the industry and his natural artistic flair.

What he created forced people to re-think the beauty that can lie in a football shirt with his unique adaptations which are full of intricate, hand painted detail. Made from all different kinds of fabrics they are now highly sought after, not to be worn, but to hung on the walls of art galleries!

He's been telling Not By The Playbook's Katie Smith about his new found passion.
