Olivia Dean and adidas Originals have teamed up to create a limited-edition capsule collection, celebrating the artist’s Messy tour and debut album.
As Hypebae reports, Dean – whose throwback pop-soul sound and pillowy, jazz-toned vocals were so compelling that she sold out a European tour, gained two million Spotify followers and became a Chanel ambassador before she’d even released an album – once again went to illustrator Emily Anderson, known for creating the motif that adorns Dean’s album, to create the looks. The collection features a custom black Firebird tracksuit set and lilac T-shirt, designed by Dean and the adidas team.
Truly inspired by Dean’s album, the T-shirt mimics the pastel hues featured throughout the artist’s tour, complete with short sleeves and a white trim. Elsewhere, the tracksuit features Dean’s signature logo alongside a hand-drawn white flower design created by Anderson.
“I’m very excited to collaborate with Adidas on this limited run of pieces. The flower motif was designed by Emily Anderson for my album campaign — she’s an amazing illustrator and brought a beautiful, handmade element to all the creative that works so nicely with the tracksuits. Can’t wait to see you in them,” says Dean in a press release.
The collaboration will officially launch in London during Dean’s tour, kicking off on May 2nd at the Hammersmith Apollo. Dean will also be hosting a meet and greet at the adidas store on May 3, where pieces will be available to purchase.
Keep your eyes on Dean’s Instagram for more info on the meet and greet and adidas Originals for the launch.
