While London is preparing for the Olympic opening ceremony and sports mania is taking over the world, Topshop has presented the eighth capsule collection created by Ashish Gupta – the Indian-born designer who’s British by adoption and a favourite with stars of the likes of Sarah Jessica Parker, Madonna and Jerry Hall.
The mini-collection includes nine pieces – they revolve around the world of sport, which Gupta has given a glamorous, stylish spin to with coloured prints and sequins. The designs range from classic t-shirts and track suit bottoms to American-inspired baseball jackets. There are slogans too, some more conventional, some less so. There’s the classic “I love sports” as well as the less famous “Loser!”
Gupta explains: “I was rubbish at sports in school, and I was always the last one chosen for the football team! So I can relate to being the ‘loser’! I want to celebrate the underdog, the runner-up, the ones that don’t get the medals!”
