"One of his goals for the series, he says, is that what I was wearing would get progressively more interesting, which is ridiculous because in the very first episode he's wearing a vivid, asymmetrical shawl that in some places reaches the floor, and he looks like a wizard who might seem chaotic but is actually very powerful. Sheila [Greenwell, one of two judges, along with Di Gilpin] made that for La Fetiche, he says, referring to the avant garde house of knitwear."
"Later on I wear some stuff by Hope Macaulay, a Northern Irish textiles designer, then Boy Kloves, right out of Central Saint Martins, then towards the end, two archival Stella McCartney looks. The traitors got rid of people who probably would have figured it out It's not his first modelling rodeo, because who could forget the Gillette campaign last year, which is where many of us first learned the phrase thirst trap?"
"But no question, it's novel to see him wearing so many clothes. He loves being a blank canvas, but isn't considering a second act as a model: I think I've missed the boat I'm 31. Elite athletes have bizarre, truncated careers, even the ones who aren't divers (yes, that is a trunks joke, thank you for noticing). But Daley is ready for his next act."
Tom Daley presents a series of bold knitwear looks on Channel 4's The Game of Wool, starting with a vivid, asymmetrical shawl by Sheila Greenwell for La Fetiche. He later wears designs by Hope Macaulay, Boy Kloves and archival Stella McCartney. Daley references prior modeling work including a Gillette campaign and the phrase 'thirst trap.' He reflects on age and career timing at 31, noting elite athletes have truncated careers and doubts about pursuing modeling further. Daley was eliminated early on Celebrity Traitors and felt the traitors removed contestants who might have uncovered the deception. He enjoys being a 'blank canvas.'
