If you still think tracksuits and sportswear are something that should only be worn at home or in the gym, you clearly haven’t seen the latest luxury collaboration between Michael Kors and Italian sports apparel Ellesse.
On The 9th of May, the two fashion giants came together to create the 70s inspired luxury sports collection of our dreams. Lachlan Bailey captures the vibrant and bold capsule collection styled by Mel Ottenberg. Emily Ratajkowski and rapper Jay Critch bring the off-curt looks to life, supported by various musicians and models.
Ellesse’s famous colour palette of fiery orange and red combined with classic navy blue and white shades make this collection undeniably fun and retro. The two heritage brands have fused their iconic MK charm and tennis ball logo to design an eye-catching emblem that appears throughout the collection.
The capsule collection features 24 laid back seventies-inspired pieces for men and women that ooze glamour. Bold colours suggest a sporty but stylish season. The styles include tracksuits, bags, slides and trainers, t-shirts, a hoodie dress and bottoms, swimwear and bucket hats – all in the brand’s signature colours and the logo pattern.
Naturally, the collection features a windbreaker jacket inspired by ’70s athleisure silhouettes. The colourful workout jacket made a comeback in 2020 and is still a practical must-have piece in everybody’s wardrobe. You can also pair it with the matching flared track pants to get an unstoppable 70s vibe.
The 70s aesthetics are further reflected in the swimwear. The nylon logo swimsuit has a plunging back and a high leg cut. The swimming trunks are in the same all-over logo look. Combined with the rubber slide sandals, you are ready for a day on the beach.
The iconic Michael Kors Bradshaw messenger bag and Hudson backpack received a new look in the bright collection colours and an all-over logo print for this collaboration.
Wear these pieces for a tennis match or a summer walk and be the most stylish person while also comfortable. The capsule collection is now available on site, check out our favourites below!
