FASHION + OLYMPICS = STELLA

I have been promising to talk about the Fashion/Olympics relationship for a few weeks now, as I’m sure as soon as these wintery days pass and the sun appears, Olympic fever will be out in force! However there is only really one thing you need to know about this combo, and that’s the simple equation that sums up 2012…

FASHION + OLYMPICS = STELLA

Yes folks, Stella McCartney is our lady this year.

She is already a house hold name (for those that don’t already know her as a face of fashion, she is of course the daughter of Sir Paul McCartney), but Stella McCartney is set to have one of the most exciting years of her career this year as she continues her flourishing relationship with Adidas, and is designing Team GB’s Olympic Kit!!! Plus we will all be able to be part of the action thanks to the limited ‘My 2012′ collection by Stella McCartney for Adidas.

“The concept behind this particular collection with adidas was to project the energy of the Olympic year and to inspire young women to engage in sports and events surrounding the Olympics and we see this collection as a wonderful way to mark this very special occasion.”

So for those of you who haven’t quite got into your ‘get fit/be healthier’ new years resolution, there’s no excuse now!! We have FASHIONABLE SPORTSWEAR! Did you ever think you’d see the day??

Have a peek behind the scenes at the ‘My 2012′ campaign shoot here on the ‘My 2012′ tumblr page.   Do you recognise someone there? Here’s a small hint…

It’s of course Alex, one of my beautiful faces of Winchester Fashion Week 2011!! A massive congratulations to Alex for getting in the campaign, it’s such an amazing opportunity for her and everyone at WFW HQ wishes her all the best!

Anyway returning back to the wonderful Stella McCartney leads us into the opening of ‘World Of Stella’ at Selfridges on Oxford Street. Fellow Londoners this is a must see!! From 26 January to 14 February Selfridges are holding a whole ‘world’ dedicated to this designer of the moment, housing not only her new sportswear collections, but her signature Falabella handbags, lingerie, kids wear and she will be launching her new fragrance L.I.L.Y. How on earth does this mum of four do it I hear you cry!? Who knows, one thing is for sure; someone get this woman a gold medal!!

I hope to check out ‘World of Stella’ for myself this week so keep an eye on my twitter @vikkilondon for instant updates, and I’ll try to include some sneaky photos!

If you haven’t been Stella’d out by now, check out this video of the new GB Kit in action here on Vogue TV.

Enjoy! xx
