adidas Originals by Jeremy Scott SS14
The
Spring Summer 2014 collection celebrates the decade long collaboration
between legendary designer Jeremy Scott and adidas. While the collection
cements the creative relationship between the two, Scott refuses to
rest on his laurels. Instead, the New York-based designer pushes ahead
with his luxury sportswear vision and, as per usual, the focus lies on
bold colours, qualitative fabrics and intricate prints. Scott's
signature design is visible throughout the collection, and one of the
key themes for SS14 is the pearl embroidery tradition from London. The
'Pearlies', a nick name for East End street traders wearing suits
decorated with pearl buttons, emerged in the late 18th century and
peaked in the 1970s. For SS14, Scott put hand-stitched pearl buttons on
heavy weight jackets and matching tracksuit bottoms with bondage
details.
