Alexandra Gardener for Adidas

A couple weeks back my main girl Alexandra Gardener's Olympics collection for Adidas dropped in stores. The collection is the result of a collaboration between Adidas and the British Fashion Council (BFC). Where students from a number of leading design universities were challenged to design, an inspirational and innovative collection representing London during the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
100s of students entered but only one could win, with that said the talented Alexandra took the top spot and saw her designs go into production recently. 


Her Adidas collection consists of women's lifestyle and sports apparel, with a striking graphic representation of the London 2012 grid design.
The collection is available now nation wide over at Adidas stores.

Y'OH X Adidas Consortium

The second drop for the Adidas Consortium range is due out in the commencing weeks. Once again we see Adidas team up with a bunch of creative individuals to re work some of their most loved models. 
With that said I'm happy to say the original seamstress queen pin Kara, over at fashion label Y'OH has been blessed with the opportunity to work her magic on a pair of Pro Shell's. 
Below is the out come. 

Below are the rest of the consortium collaborations available in the 2nd drop.

Adidas TGB Tailored Sport Collection

I'm feeling some of the latest Adidas pieces for Spring Summer 12, especially this new tailored collection.  Adidas' long history as Team GB sponsors is seen throughout with a slightly more preppy edge.  Cameron McNee on photography duty does a damn good job and styling from Sunday Times Style Fashion Features Editor Michael Hennegan is on point.

 

Adidas Consortium ‘Your Story’ Collection

Adidas coming strong like a king size snicker bar on the latest Consortium releases. I personally
would have liked to see a little more color in this drop, but I'm sure they got a few more releases on the consortium line up their sleeve for this year. 

"When Adidas brought back their consortium range last year, the slate was wiped clean giving a fresh start to the premium range. Back for 2012 with the next collection, Adidas invited nine creative partners to fill in the canvas. Concentrating on the 2012 London Olympics the partners were asked to take inspiration from their own Olympic memories from the past and translate that on to various models. From a London photographer’s poolside inspired ZX500, to a Sydney fashion designer’s track and field take on the Matchplay the ‘Your Story’ Consortium line is as diverse as the cultures engaged in the Olympics itself." 

Available over at Foot Patrol soon.

Adidas Archive Team GB Originals Collection

A reworking from the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1984, the Adidas Originals team have pulled together a great collection of six pieces of apparel and three pieces of footwear. Daily Thompson is the lead for this line with 398 Jersey the centre-piece as a reworked T-Shirt.

The footwear really stands out with three classic indoor styles, the Gazelle, the Tobacco and the Handball 5 Plug, all in retro GB colourways. The Handball 5 plug is the standout for me and I partickuarly like the addition of the Union Jack on the insole.

Dropping in February at all the usual spots. Six months till the Olympics and I expect Adidas to come correct, with an unrivalled heritage having sponsored Team GB for god knows how long. If anyone does heritage sportswear well it's always been Adidas. Shout out to Charlie for the heads up and inviting us down to breakfast this am.

Adidas Originals at Size

The re-up of Adidas Originals at Size has come at a good time. Been thinking for a while now that I need to up my Adi game. I think its the football casual reference that draws me in. I only mess with the classic shapes but what I will say is that the Training PT's are fast becoming my new favourite silhouette. My pick from the current range...
