1.9 | Mary Katrantzou x Adidas



Once I had received my fabric samples from Palmhive, I was inspired to research further into sports wear and sports styling. I came across Mary Katrantzou and Adidas’ recent collaboration. I found Katrantzou’s prints interesting, although they are quite literal in pushing forward the concept of sports wear; she has portrayed a perforated fabric within the print. This is a fabric which is commonly used within sportswear and also something which I have an abundance of due to Palmhive kindly supplying me with it. Displaying a fabric texture or aesthetic within a print is a concept I have never thought of before and was quite interested to explore. However upon reflection of this technique I feel that it does not work with my current prints and distracts from them. I plan to look for different ways in which I can incorporate these textures and fabrics into the practice unit.
