Fusing heritage design elements with a contemporary sensibility.
Michael Kors and ellesse have joined forces to create a sports-inspired collection celebrating beloved athletic styles of the ‘70s. Offering a modern reinterpretation of luxe athleisure, the 24-piece capsule boasts reinvented lifestyle essentials that evoke confidence, attitude and understated ease.
To bring the high-energy collaboration to life, the iconic American luxury brand and the Italian sportswear engrave enlisted model Emily Ratajkowski, who stars alongside an uber-cool cast of musicians, models and multi-hyphenates in an all-new campaign lensed by renowned fashion photographer Lachlan Bailey and styled by Mel Ottenberg (Interview Magazine’s editor-in-chief). Imbuing sport-design motifs with vibrant, juxtaposing hues, the polished offering of apparel, footwear and accessories comes equipped with standout styles like coordinating tracksuits, vintage-style swimsuits, fashion-forward handbags and playful hats.
Further rounding out the capsule collection’s cool, confident and energetic DNA, each piece has been emblazoned with a one-of-a-kind insignia that combines Michael Kors’ iconic logo with ellesse’s tennis-and-ski-inspired branding.
