Simone Rocha and adidas officially unveil their first collection. First seen last February during the designer's show at London Fashion Week, the collaboration is now set for launch. In this first chapter, the Irish designer infuses her romantic universe into the sportswear wardrobe of the brand with the three stripes. Expect ready-to-wear, accessories, and three footwear silhouettes: the Taekwondo, the Climacool, and the Japan. These three well-known models from the adidas catalog are now in the hands of Simone Rocha, featuring pearls, ribbon bows, and reworked volumes.

Behind this collection, Simone Rocha returns directly to her Irish roots. The designer draws inspiration from Tír na nÓg, a tale from Gaelic mythology, as well as from Pony Kids, a photographic series by Perry Ogden dedicated to young riders in Dublin. These references blend with the codes that have shaped her work. Tracksuits feature puffed sleeves, and the three-striped tops get ruffles.
The Simone Rocha x adidas collection will be available worldwide on September 10. Expect to pay €250 for the Taekwondo Ballerina and €220 for the Japan Slip-On. The Climacool will follow on September 15 at a price of €220.
