FASHION: LONDON FASHION WEEK Roksanda FILA

In a continuation of our innovative partnership with unexpected creative designers, we are very excited to announce the successful debut of the ROKSANDA x FILA collaboration at the Roksanda fashion show during London Fashion Week. The designs are a combination of parachute inspired leisurewear incorporating FILA’s technical high performance fabrics with Belgradian designer ROKSANDA’s signature oversized “duvet” shapes, creating a blend of feminine empowerment with pragmatic sports-style.
#ROKSANDAxFILA

A season of empowerment on Monday, with shows by distinctive non-British designers: active professional élan at Roksanda; modernist cabaret femme fatales at Erdem and suffragette revival chic from France’s Paul & Joe. 
 

Roksanda Fila

A triumphant start to Monday by Roksanda, who combined graphic references to Irish artist Eva Rothschild with a brilliant collaboration with sportswear giant Fila into a great show.


Hard to recall a more exciting partnership of high fashion and active sports-style than Roksanda’s brilliant voluminous puffer coats and blankets; techy dresses and fantastic moon-boots. Definitely the must-have items for next winter’s après ski cocktails and soirées.
 
“Sports is so present today, all around us. So I wanted to combine that with elements of couture to reflect what I am about,” the designer explained post-show.

 

Presented inside the main hall of Tate Britain, which featured several large frame sculptures by Rothschild; their colors echoed in several looks within this fall/winter 2022/23 collection. In particular, one fabulous graphic patchwork, multi-hued gown that had a real wow factor.
 
Roksanda also extended her range with some classy overalls; multi-stripe at multi-angles jackets; magnificent gents’ coats with quilted in-lays; and black satin gowns with golden metallic bar inserts. Most everything was great in this performance, including the Dear Frances two-tone, patent leather boots.
 
One needs to be a tall lady to carry off Roksanda’s volume, but if you have the self-confidence then this style is tremendously empowering. Adding to the ethereal moment, the cast had graphic double line eyeliner, in some great work by make-up artist Miranda Joyce.
 

But, above all, this show will be remembered for taking the concept of a sporty collab’ to a new level.

ROKSANDA x FILA
As the original sports brand that daringly opened up sportswear views well beyond the sports field, FILA cultivates an innovative drive which naturally leads to unexpected collaborations and surprising couplings. The newest installment in this series of progressive trespassings is the collaboration with ROKSANDA.  
A graduate of Central Saint Martins with a training in Architecture and Applied Arts in her native Belgrade, Roksanda Ilincic founded the namesake label ROKSANDA almost two decades ago, gaining accolades for her unique use of color, architectural yet flowing shapes, innovative use of fabrics and dedicated focus on craftsmanship. A woman designing for women, ROKSANDA keeps channeling a personal definition of beauty, creating pieces that reveal the wearer’s personality while providing a sense of shelter and refuge through their unique design. Colors and shapes reveal an ongoing dialogue with modern and contemporary art, as part of a multidisciplinary approach in which art, dance and fashion meet. 

 
ROKSANDA x FILA is  the encounter between two very different identities to create a new one, at once unexpected and authentic. ROKSANDA’s blown-up, dramatic shapes and vibrant colors meet the technicality and straightforwardness of FILA, blending an artistic sense of feminine empowerment with the pragmatism of sport-style. In devising the collection, ROKSANDA worked around her very own themes of shelter and protection, which she brought into the outdoors, in contact with the elements, according to the active FILA ethos. The collection revolves around humongous duvets that wrap the body allowing the wearer to seek refuge into their volumes, mixed with leisurewear inspired by parachutes incorporating FILA technical and high performance fabrics. A selection of leggings, t-shirts, sports bras and jackets grounds the offer, which is completed with padded bags and oversized moon boots. The dialogue between the respective identities carries over in the color palette: an idiosyncratic mix of tropic, porcelain, black and fluro orange with notes of chalk, champagne, butter, pearl, taupe and fluoro pink. 

 

“Growing up in Serbia, I cherish personal memories of how much we all loved FILA pieces coming from Italy - says Roksanda - This collection allowed me to give a new point of view on such a beloved heritage: one that merges my shapes and colors with a sense of performance and the outdoors. The soft, enveloping message is perfectly timely, I believe”.

 

FILA‘s latest instalment is the collaboration with Belgradian designer ROKSANDA, a graduate of Central Saint Martins with a fashion label of almost twenty years with a reputation for unique use of colour, architecturally inspired flowing shapes, innovative fabric use and craftsmanship.
'ROKSANDA x FILA' is a combination of ROKSANDA’s blown-up, dramatic shapes and vibrant colours with the technicality and straightforwardness of FILA and it’s materials creating a blend of feminine empowerment with pragmatic sports-style.
The designs are centred around oversized “duvet” shapes mixed with parachute inspired leisurewear incorporating FILA’s technical high performance fabrics. Leggings, t-shirts, sports bras and jackets compliment the look along with padded bags and oversized moon boots in a fitting colour palette.
