Fila has recently partnered with British designer Oliver Spencer to create an exciting new collection. This collaboration draws inspiration from Fila’s rich history in tennis and the iconic film “The Royal Tenenbaums” directed by Wes Anderson. What makes this collection even more special is its commitment to sustainability. Available exclusively on Fila’s UK website, Spencer’s e-commerce site, and on Mr Porter, the collection also gives back, with 10% of sales being donated to the mental health charity Health in Mind.
The Fila x Oliver Spencer collection offers a range of classic Fila pieces with a modern twist. For example, the Hayward Jersey Jacket, Benedict Polo, and Ari Jersey Shorts have all been updated with a touch of 1980s flair. Spencer seamlessly blends Fila’s sportswear style with inspiration from Dapper Dan, resulting in a collection that effortlessly combines sportswear and lifestyle fashion. Fila describes the pieces as having a “fluid, easy-to-wear feeling.”
One of the standout features of this collection is the use of a specially developed terry-towel corduroy fabric. Spencer raves about its super-soft texture and vibrant colors. The hero pieces of the collection are available in Auckland Navy, Auckland Red, and Auckland Cream, paying tribute to Fila’s timeless colorways that have represented the brand both on and off the tennis court for generations. Spencer ensures that the collection embodies a nostalgic yet modern feel, all while incorporating sustainable materials and practices.
The significance of this collaboration is highlighted by the campaign supporting its launch, which was expertly shot by renowned photographer Rankin. This collaboration truly represents a meeting of passionate minds, bringing together Fila, Oliver Spencer, and Rankin, all committed to delivering top-notch fashion experiences.
In conclusion, the Fila x Oliver Spencer collaboration flawlessly merges sportswear and lifestyle fashion, showcasing Fila’s heritage alongside Oliver Spencer’s contemporary design approach. With its focus on sustainability and charitable contributions, this collection sets a positive example for the fashion industry, proving that style and social responsibility can work hand in hand.
