He was the iconic Ralph Lauren Polo male model to beat and was even crowned as VH1’s model of the year in 1995. But most importantly, the 51-year-old changed the runway for generations to come.

The website High Snobiety lived up to its name when it dismissed the fashion trend as “UK cosplay – as in, our friends in the States dressing up as the typical pub-to-stadium footy lads”.

The former One Direction star has been spotted walking arm in arm with another woman in London’s Heathrow Airport, just two days after his split from his former fiancée Maya Henry was made official, according to British media.

The sum, and the fact it was the first piece of NFT art to be auctioned by a major auction house, rattled not only the traditional art industry, but also questioned the way we all collect and consume digital assets.

For those not in the know, these tokens act as a kind of digital ledger giving proof of ownership and have taken the world by storm thanks to major involvement from auction houses like Sotheby’s and Christie’s.
