What happens when a heritage American fashion house and a luxury Italian sportswear label come together? Introducing Michael Kors x Ellesse, a 24-piece capsule collection of fashion-forward activewear staples with a retro spin that you can wear on and off court.
Freshly launched at Michael Kors’ Mandarin Gallery and VivoCity stores, the Michael Kors x Ellesse line fuses function with style, providing designs for both him and her. Shot on a tennis court in the balmy heart of Miami, the campaign stars model Emily Ratajkowski and Brooklyn-based rapper, Jay Critch, among others in eye-catching garb from the newly released line-up.
Expect Michael Kors’ usual fare of pared-back neutrals and clean, minimal lines to be unapologetically replaced with the saturated colours and nostalgic cuts of the ‘70s, courtesy of Ellesse. Low backs and cropped silhouettes bring the vintage-inspired designs to current-day while keeping you cool during your time in the sun.
The collaboration offers variations of track jackets and pants, swimsuits, relaxed hoodie dresses, cropped tops and more, all in Ellesse’s signature palette of vibrant oranges, reds and pops of navy blue and white. Designs such as the track shorts and the matching cropped tops are crafted from a blend of organic cotton and recycled polyester too. Apart from the line’s vast ready-to-wear options, elevate your on-court attire with corresponding accessories from the collection, consisting of chunky sneakers, rubber slides, bucket hats and Michael Kors’ best selling offerings, the Hudson and Bradshaw bags, all reimagined in the same playful colourway.
Ready to give your activewear rotation a vintage, Em Rata-approved facelift? Shop the coveted Michael Kors x Ellesse line online and in stores from May 18.
