Linley Hall in Victoria was transformed overnight into “Stella’s Gym,” complete with Olympic athletes including Allyson Felix and Victoria Pendleton—at the launch of Stella McCartney’s Spring 2009 Adidas collection. I love the hem and high waist of the muted pink tennis outfit above. Stylish, flirty, yet still functional.
The collection spans running, gym, yoga, dance, tennis, golf, swimwear, and accessories, all characterized by a sharp eye for fashion detail and, this season, popping with neon pinks, grass green, yellow, and periwinkle blue. In one corner were gymnasts performing on the balance beam in leotards and yoga sweats; in another, the tennis team knocked balls about in scalloped-edge dresses over orange shorts. Elsewhere, runners warmed up on treadmills wearing high-tech spray-painted leggings. McCartney’s personal trainer, Tracy Anderson (the woman behind Madonna’s and Gwenyth Paltrow’s killer bodies) has consulted on the development of McCartney’s gym line.
