We take a look at some 80’s adidas Olympic-wear making its way back in a big sporting year for Team Great Britain. 6 pieces of kit and four styles of footwear, this collection is heavy on nostalgia. Perfect for any child of the 80’s. If you hear the name ‘Fatima Whitbread’ and don’t immediately think of ‘I’m a celebrity get me out of here’ then this might be one for you.

“Los Angeles 1984 and Daley Thompson, Sebastian Coe and Tessa Sanderson all took Olympic gold for their country. In a nostalgic nod to the past, adidas Originals present an Archive collection that takes direct inspiration from the original pieces worn by those heroes, with Daley Thompson’s decathlon-winning #398 jersey the centre-piece.” Available from February

Pringle of Scotland is prepping a new look at their archive with “The Pringle Archive Project 1815 – 2011.” Working with the St. Martins School, Pringle of Scotland looks to mix the youth with their generations of design. As the Telegraph reports, “Under the guidance of Professor Louise Wilson OBE, the students created their interpretations of iconic pieces, drawing inspiration from classic Argyle knits and vintage twinsets from the Pringle archive. The designers juxtaposed these elements with bright colours and modern concepts, to create a collection of twelve jumpers.”

We highlight some of the looks coming from the collection (many of which are for the femmes).
