The Greatest Ever Arsenal Side? You Decide...

There are certain things that title challengers need to become champions. But there's one side who were an exception. Read their story here.

What does it take to win the title? For the majority of sides lucky enough to be crowned champions – there are a few parallels. A dearth of injuries, especially to key players. A sizeable squad, robust enough to deal with the inevitable fixture congestion. A reliable source of goals – from multiple sources. That is normally enough to set a sustainable tilt at the title.

Sybilla has been widely acclaimed as the most exciting designer to have emerged from Spain since Balenciaga. She was born in 1963 in New York City, the daughter of an Argentine diplomat. Her mother was a Polish aristocrat who worked as a fashion designer under the name Countess Sybilla of Saks Fifth Avenue. When Sybilla was seven years old, her family moved to Madrid, and she considers herself thoroughly Spanish; her clothes, she has said are also very Spanish—"not olé, olé," but Spanish in the classical sense.

She served a brief apprenticeship in Paris at the couture atelier of Yves Saint Laurent, but recoiled at what she regarded as the "snobbish, cold, and professional" aspects of French fashion, saying, "Paris scares me. 'Fashion' is too serious. In Spain, you can still play." Like filmmaker Pedro Almodovar, Sybilla is a member of the post-Franco generation that launched a creative explosion in the 1980s. "We were the first generation after Franco died, and we tried to be different and creative," recalled Sybilla. With success came greater professionalism. In 1987 Italian fashion manufacturer Gibò began producing Sybilla's clothes en masse in Italy.

At the end of the 1980s Sybilla became famous for creating what she called "weird and outrageous designs"—such as sculpted dresses with wired hems. But there is also a soft feeling to many of her clothes, which derives both from the colors (tobacco, pumpkin, pale green) and from a tendency toward biomorphic shapes. "The dresses of Sybilla remind you of when you were a child and your mother would tell you fairystories," commented Almodovar actress Rossy de Palma. "But in her dresses you live that, like a dream."
