HINTING at a forthcoming collaboration during her Paris Fashion Week show, pairing her synonymous dresses with trainers for SS23, Cecilie Bahnsen injects her ultra feminine touch to Japanese sportswear brand, ASICS. Upon closer inspection, the added touch of active attire will be available sooner rather than later as the upcycled trainer capsule will launch on her website on 20 October 2022.
Both Bahnsen and ASICS pride themselves on their focus on movement, merging their creative visions together and reimagining styles from the Sport Style and Running collections, and carefully embellishing each pair with couture elements. Cecilie and her design team hand stitched the floral beads and appliqués in the brand’s studio in Copenhagen, showcasing their known Scandinavian savoir-faire on each of the 50 shoes.
Beginning a collaboration that is set to evolve further in 2023, the two brands will be donating sales from the trainers to the international non-profit charity, Right To Play – an organisation who protect and educate children to utilise the power of sport and teach them critical skills and to embrace opportunities.
