I personally would like to thank Phoebe Philo for the recent resurgence of the classic Stan Smith sneaker and sports luxe at that. If it wasn't for her, women everywhere would be wearing flip flops, peep-toe sandals and (heaven forbid) skyscraper heels this Spring.
Yes, I know.
For those who took notice of what the sartorial élite were wearing during fashion week, you'd discover that sportswear, particularly anything branded Adidas, has become somewhat of a fashion obsession and is well on its way to establishing itself as the outfit of choice for Spring/Summer.
I'm talking sneakers, pool slides, joggers... the lot.
Just as well then that Topshop have announced that it's first capsule collection with Adidas Originals will launch in stores and online on the 20th March.
(Calendars? Noted? Good.)
The highly anticipated collection, which pays homage to the brands heritage, comes complete with the brand's signature triple stripe and trefoil, whilst combining the youthful and feminine influence of Topshop. Sportswear that will make even the toughest of workouts look like a walk in flower-laden, picnic filled park. If you catch my drift.
Amassing no more than 20 pieces and at a cost that will still see us through to payday; come the 20th, make sure you've booked your space in the queue outside Toppers, or well, just loaded up your basket online.
