If you’re a fan of Mary Katrantzou’s masterfully printed frocks, but can’t justify the hefty price tag, then Mary Katrantzou x adidas Originals collection is going to be right up your alley! This is the second ‘fashion meets athleisure’ collaboration between the two brands, and it’s amazing!
The first collection, while pretty cute, was too heavy-handed for my taste – giant shoe lace prints all over the place are not my idea of casual chic. But this collection is different – the athletic theme is still clearly present (tennis racquets, badminton shuttlecocks, baseballs, darts) but this time, executed in a more subtle way. There are dresses that look like they could easily belong in Katrantzou’s regular line-up, as well as more casual pieces perfect for those sporty fashion-lovers.
In Canada, select pieces from the collection can be found exclusively at Hudson’s Bay online or at The Room in Toronto and Vancouver. If you’re in another part of the world, Shopbop carries some styles, while most of the collection can be found on MaryKatrantzou.com.
I already ordered my fave pieces, and if you’re into any of the styles, I recommend snagging them ASAP…lots of sizes are already gone online. Good luck and happy shopping!
More after the jump!

What a random collab! But for once, I see Katrantzou’s prints working – athletic wear can get away with more. Love some of the tennis dresses in particular!

Hi Ever Rose! I wasn’t a fan of the first collection they did together…although I did buy a pair of runners because they were really cute. But this time, I find the prints so Dali-esque and the way she executed them really works for me. Also, price points are so much better than her usual collections! š
Truthfully i saw their first collaboration to and i was really disapointed because its not that great so i lost my interest . But , i enjoyed the pieces that you shared especially the first dress.
Right?! Glad I’m not the only one…I am usually a huge fan of Mary’s work, but last collection was just meh…this one, however is so good! I am very happy with the orange dress I picked up.
