adidas Originals By Mary Katrantzou Collection Out In Singapore Today!

Hi Huneybees,

It's finally here in Singapore! The long awaited adidas Originals by Mary Katrantzou collection will be available for purchase starting today 15th November!

Hailed as the “Queen of Prints” and one of fashion’s most innovative designers, Mary Katrantzou's special collection with adidas Originals by Mary Katrantzou collection sees bold, subversive graphics with architectural shapes. In this special collaboration, Katrantzou draws inspiration from past adidas shoe silhouettes and she has innovatively incorporated product features like outsoles, laces, and pop icons into her own unique collection.

“When adidas first approached me, I took time to think about what I could offer that’s different, what I could say through the collection that they haven’t said before. I grew up, like so many other kids around the world, wearing adidas sneakers, and bringing my vision to such a global brand is a great challenge. They have a fantastic heritage and their ability to innovate in sportswear makes them the perfect partner for us to work with in this market. I believe that print and color can come together to communicate perfectly to a wider audience.”  --- Mary Katrantzou

adidas Originals by Mary Katrantzou retails for SGD129 for the logo tee to SGD699 for the Decat Dress. The collection is available in stores from 15 November 2014 at the adidas Originals store at Pacific Plaza and online at shop.adidas.com.sg. Footwear from the collection will be available at the Limited Edition store at Marina Bay Sands. Be sure to shop early or you might be disappointed! :)
