Topshop have teamed up with Adidas Originals which was launched today has created a 20 piece capsule collection, with 'bespoke prints inspired by the London landscape. Offering a fresh colour palette of soft coral, field green and gritty monochrome.'
At first when I heard about them teaming up I was intrigued as to what Topshop could bring to the table for Adidas as the original famous 3 stripes are recognisable by anyone. What could they do to make it different & not just the usual gym, casual wear.
These pieces that have a link & price are the currently on the Topshop website for sale. The Adidas website itself has some of the same pieces but also some that Tospshop don't have. You can buy them from here
I'm a bit unsure whether I like this collection, but I don't think I will be buying anything from it. I do like the black & white tracksuit but I went into JD & the Adidas shop itself which sell the same black & tracksuit without the Topshop bit & is cheaper so I'm probably better going for the original thing rather buying from the collection as I'm not really that into it
I can get the jacket for £52 & the pants for £45 where as the collection would cost me £54 (10% student discount) & the pants would cost the same with student discount.
The model for this collection is called Charlotte Wiggins who is from Tuebrook in Liverpool. She was scouted by Select Models when she was 16 during a school trip to the Clothes Show Live in Birmingham. She wasn't even meant to be going onto the trip she just wanted to go to get out of class & there were spare tickets. She never intended or wanted to be a model but here she is now modelling for Topshop, she was in the Burberry Campaign with Romeo Beckham & Cara Delevingne. Modelled for Alexanda McQueen, Henry Holland, Matthew Williamson travelling all around the world going to fashion weeks!
She has amazing cheek bones & looks like a typical model unlike Cara who I'm not a fan of & don't really understand how she is a model as I don't think she has the features or is that pretty. The only thing about her is her eyebrows that stand out (which I am jealous of) & her personality but really I think Charlotte is a much better model than her & hope she does go far especially being a scouser!
