Tracksmith's Olympic-inspired luxury workout collection has that certain je ne sais qoui
Paris has long been the inspiration behind some of fashion's most iconic collections. Whether it was Dior's iconic New Look, Yves Saint Laurent's groundbreaking Le Smoking or Jean Paul Gaultier's striped shirts and sailor hats - there is no denying that Paris is the fashion capitol of the world.
Now as the 2024 Olympics has officially kicked off in the City of Lights it's no wonder some of our favourite sportswear brands have taken inspiration for their latest collections.
Luxury running label Tracksmith has long been in the business of designing chic running wear pieces that make your next 10k a walk in the park, their new collection has taken inspiration from the opening ceremonies of past and added a French flair.
From loosely tailored blazers to almost vintage collegiate-esque track sets, this is activewear for the sartorially discerning. The brand partnered with Emilie Hawtin of the tailoring label Clementina to find an atelier in Rome that could do justice to the designs, as well as with the iconic Parisian retailer Merci, who contributed to the designs of key pieces and a bespoke pop-up in Paris throughout the games.
Standout pieces from the collection are of course the handmade Federation Blazer which is carefully crafted using sustainably sourced 100 per cent Organic cotton twill, or the unique limited-edition watch made in collaboration with Merci and Wind Vintage Timepiece is a timeless addition to any collectors selection.
The Federation collection is available to buy at the Tracksmith x Merci's pop-up at 111 Bd Beaumarchais or online at tracksmith.com from £45.
