Reformation is heading back to school, sort of. The brand tapped Olivia Jade for its new Good Sport fall campaign, serving up a polished take on collegiate dressing with recycled cashmere sweaters, tailored separates and varsity-inspired pieces made for sweater weather.
At the center of the collection is the limited-edition College Crew, an oversized collegiate sweatshirt that leans into the ongoing obsession with preppy, campus-coded style. It also comes with a feel-good bonus: 100% of net proceeds from the piece will benefit YES Scholars, a nonprofit that helps expand college access for students from under-resourced communities.
With Olivia Jade fronting the campaign, Reformation gives classic academic style a playful celebrity spin. It is another example of how fashion brands are turning familiar seasonal aesthetics into more personality-driven, culturally relevant moments.
Key Themes Behind This Trend
