Strength and sensuality come together in [Agent Provocateur's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hot-desking) SS20 campaign, as the lingerie brand releases ads that star [international athletes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dove-and-sports-illustrated) ahead of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

Under the hashtag #WePlayToWin, four athletes - pole vault champion Alysha Newman, gymnast Georgia-Mae Fenton, Olympic hurdler Queen Harrison and climber Sasha Digiulian - compete in the brand's luxe lingerie. The ad boasts an 80s aesthetic, with intentionally low-fi graphics and nods to the popular aerobic videos of the time.

The [athlete-inspired pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elite-female-athlete) include one-pieces, bra and underwear sets, tights, body suits and more, with each piece offering the same practicality and style that's demonstrated in the ads. The pieces feature a more delicate colorway that's perfect for spring, including many pastels.
