If you aren’t one of the 200,000 athletes expected at the London Olympics, never fear. You can get into the spirit (and fashionably too!) with Opening Ceremony’s FW12 capsule collection with adidas Originals. In a tribute to Olympic sports, this collection combines elements of swim and cycling with a 90s street attitude.

 

This mostly unisex collection showcases striking prints on a range of dynamic fabrics including dry-swim spandex, neoprene, nylon twills and reflective finishes.

 

 

Offering crisp chambray shirting, French terry polo tops, oversized neoprene parkas and printed nylon twill bombers for the men and dresses with peplums, half zip jackets and fitted skirts for the girls, this collection is the perfect way to channel the latest sports luxe trend. Footwear features unisex jelly sandals, printed neoprene water-socks, a reinterpretation of the classic Samba sneaker as we as new BMX-style high-tops with a discreet printed sole.

 

The campaign has been beautifully shot by Josh Olins and features models Xio Wen Ju, Camille Rowe, Jordan Torres and Shane Gibson.

 

 

So if you can’t make it to the Olympics this year, you can still finish first in the style stakes by getting your hands on one of these limited edition pieces in early July before they all sell out.
