As a proud Scouser, founder of Lola Starr, and lifelong Liverpool FC fan, I couldn’t let this historic moment pass without marking it in my own way.
I’ve lived in Liverpool for almost 47 years. "I love this city. And I love this club" So, I decided to design something from the heart: a custom Lola Starr set inspired by LFC’s 20th title.
This weekend, we fully lived and breathed Liverpool❤️
On Thursday, we started with the LFC Stadium Tour, where we captured some amazing content in Anfield with the new custom LS set.
Then we made our way to the new Van Dijk mural, arriving just an hour before it was completed, the vibe was infectious round there, watching the artist adding the final sprays to the work of art. We had some great conversations and even got to chat with Mark, designer and CEO of MurWalls, talking about his work of art and of course we had to ask him what he thought of the CHAMPIONS 20 set, it definitely got his approval!❤️
On Saturday morning, the 5K for J97 was held in Stanley Park, a run held in honour of the 97 lives lost at Hillsborough. A powerful, emotional event that reminds us of what this club, this city, and this community truly stand for. #YNWA
The rest of the weekend was spent with family and friends between Hotel TIA, Anfield, and the streets of Liverpool celebrating, capturing memories, and soaking up the red electric energy of the fans.
We ended the bank holiday weekend with the unforgettable Champions 10-mile parade through the red streets of Liverpool. The rain didn’t stand a chance against the fire of this city, it was incredible to be part of it.
I can't write this without acknowledging the devastating tragedy that took place after the parade. The heartbreaking events that followed have left the city feeling, flat and in disbelief. After days of so many highs, the contrast has been hard to process. My heart, and all our thoughts, are with those affected.
And on a personal note, Monday 26th the day of the parade, marked one year since I lost my lovely dad. So spending this weekend surrounded by my lovely family and friends was exactly what I needed. I’m so grateful for them all.❤️
A reminder that in the joy, in grief, in the pride, this city always comes together. And that’s what makes Liverpool so special.
For the fans. For the city. For the 20th title.
Forever proud.
