A new love for Adidas

Growing up i saw a lot of sports wear in my small town, i never was a person who really loved the generic tracksuit most pop/rave fans would wear, as i preferred wearing more edgy clothing associated with the rock genre. Through the years my style and music taste has evolved and now in my twenties i am more open minded to new styles. Fashion designers have turned the working class tracksuit into a high fashion must have. Recently i have been extremely impressed with the sports clothing brand Adidas.

One collaboration i particularly love is the collaboration between Adidas and the FARM company.

  The Designer and Boutique show was the first fashionshow to kick off FASHIONWEEK A/W 16.

This season I attended two of the many incredible events at West Coast Cooler FASHIONWEEK A/W 16. The Designer and Boutique fashion show on the Thursday night was the first show I attended and the second was the bloggers event and fashion show on the Saturday night. A wave of the most fashionable people attended both of these events in their fabulous A/W attire. I personally favored some stylish people in particular as they caught my fashion eye straight away. Both events were amazing and it got me in the mood for the Autumn and Winter months.  This season i have been in love with block colours, leather, metallics, knit, velvet ,sequins, lace, faux fur and prints. I saw a lot of this at West Coast Cooler FASHIONWEEK and i thought i'd give you some of my fashion favorites from both of the events i attended.
