Sportswear retailer PUMA has teamed up with fashion magazine Vogue to launch a new clothing collection that marries the worlds of sport and high fashion.
The PUMA x Vogue collection features a wide range of items, including footwear, apparel, and accessories. However, a throughline for the capsule is its use of a red, white, and black color palette, which serves to dress every piece that is on offer. Standout garments include the Woven Jacket, the Tight Top, the Relaxed Hoodie, and the Relaxed Graphic Tee. As for footwear, the collection delivers two new silhouettes dubbed the PUMA Fierce and the PUMA Leadcat Slide.
"Vogue is thrilled to partner with PUMA at a time when sport is so at the forefront of fashion," says Willow Lindley, Vogue Accessories and Collaborations Director. "This collection, the first of two Vogue X PUMA drops, combines the athletic aesthetic with the timeless approach to style that Vogue is known for."
