The adidas Originals by Rita Ora collection is finally here, and it's everything you'd expect from the UK-born pop songstress.
Ora has a funky, eclectic style that has been compared to Rihanna's in the past. The Fall/Winter 2014 collection is comprised of two packs titled 'Spray' and 'Rose.' As the titles suggests, the sportswear (and accompanying footwear) features spray-paint and floral aesthetics, respectively.
Though certainly edgy, Ora's collection is primarily rooted in comfort. Made up of cropped tees, tracksuits and beanies, the collection is perfect for any athlete on their down time. However, I'm sure the relaxed silhouettes, comfy fabrics and bold patterns will appeal to everyone, regardless of if they are an athlete or not.
