Michael Kors collaborates with luxe Italian sportswear brand Ellesse

American luxury fashion brand Michael Kors has collaborated with luxe Italian sportswear brand ellesse on a ‘70s inspired collection. 

Fronted by model Emily Ratajkowski, Brooklyn-based rap musician Jay Critch and an uber-cool cast of musicians, models and multihyphenates, the collection's vibrant, sporty and glamorous designs are brought to life through a transportive campaign. The campaign was shot in Miami by renowned fashion photographer Lachlan Bailey and styled by Mel Ottenberg, editor-in-chief of cult pop magazine Interview.

Launching in May, the Michael Kors x ellesse capsule offers a luxurious and modern take on retro athleisure. The 24-piece capsule collection is emblazoned with a one-of-a-kind insignia that fuses Michael Kors' iconic logo with ellesse's tennis-and-ski-inspired one. A waved pattern featuring the Michael Kors x ellesse emblem can be found on the bags and accessories of the lifestyle collection.

Adding another fresh design twist, ellesse's signature colour palette of fiery oranges and reds is juxtaposed with classic shades of navy blue and crisp white. The bold track jackets and pants, vintage-style swimsuits and playful patterns, chunky sneakers, logo slides and neon bucket hats celebrate a modern take on classic styles. 

The collection is available on MichaelKors.com
