The first lookbook has finally dropped.
So far, 2022 has marked a big year for coveted designer collaborations. Following the success of Gucci’s “Hacker Project” with Balenciaga in November 2021 and the surprise unveiling of its partnership with Adidas at its Fall 2022 runway show back in February, the long-awaited collection is finally on its way and it’s arriving a lot sooner than you think.
Both Adidas and Gucci announced the highly coveted fashion crossover on Tuesday, May 10, designed by none other than creative director Alessandro Michele. As teased in February during Milan Fashion Week, the joint #adidasxGucci collection is expected to drop ready-to-wear pieces featuring retro-inspired sporty silhouettes that merge both of the brands’ signature logos together.
