You may or may not have heard recently about New York Rangers hockey star Sean Avery's internship at Vogue. Having professed a desire to be a fashion editor after he retires from the ice, he wrote a letter to Vogue editrix Anna Wintour, who hired him an intern.

Despite the grunt work he did as an intern, he loved what he saw and now wants to be a personal stylist to the stars. He has teamed up with his BFF, Lauryn Flynn (the former director of celebrity services for Calvin Klein) to accomplish the task.

While this isn't the first time that fashion and sports have intersected (think David Beckham), it is still fairly rare for the more macho of the big sports (such as the NFL or in this case the NHL) to have such an outspoken fan of fashion, particularly as it applies to women. Add to that Avery's less-than-stellar reputation on the ice (having been voted as the most hated player by his peers) and you see the fascination.

We gotta admit, we weren't sold on this whole thing at first. Then, after reading his philosophy on how he plans to dress his new clients, we decided to open up our minds and now we are curious to see which celeb signs up first. Let's just hope he lives the hockey chic at home. Shoulder pads went out in the 80s.
