A Glam Slam covers the latest news and trends in fashion and sports, wherever the two worlds collide.

Sports have become a huge inspiration for fashion designers. Luxury brands have had tie-ins to the sports world via themed runway shows and ready-to-wear collections, collaborations with major active wear brands and through team sponsorships. One brand at the forefront of blending high-style with sports is Italian fashion house, Dolce & Gabbana.

The design duo’s love of soccer is evident as they dress the AC Milan and Chelsea teams, as well as the Italian national team. They’ve also recently named Barcelona and Argentina forward, Lionel Messi as their new brand ambassador. But in their most recent sports venture, the guys are switching gears and lending their talents to boxing.

Dolce & Gabbana was recently unveiled as the title sponsor of the Milano Thunder WSB team. This is the first time that a sports team will carry the Dolce & Gabbana name.

"Sport is mainly about discipline and sacrifice and it constantly inspires our collections," Dolce and Gabbana told Reuters. “With this project we want to emphasize once more the importance sport has for us, both as a source of inspiration for our creativity and as a very effective vehicle for healthy, real, down-to-earth values," said the duo on the company's website.

The team will debut in the World Series of Boxing, a new international tournament that will take place in November. And beyond the ring, the two designers also have a fashion-forward sportswear line called Dolce & Gabbana Gym. Here's a peek at what you can expect to find:
