Paolina Russo Links With Adidas For Striking Fall 2019 Runway

London-based designer Paolina Russo turned heads on January 18, 2019 with a colorful knitwear presentation shown during Paris Fashion Week as part of Adidas‘ MakerLab Presents, a creative platform for fostering talent, produced in collaboration with David Beckham and the British Fashion Council.

As part of the presentation, Russo customized Adidas’s new SC Premier silhouette, a classic all-white lace-up sneaker. For her version of the shoe, Russo converted the shoe into a knee-high, lace-up boot.

Central Saint-Martins alum Russo is known for her work with knitwear combining a unique DIY aesthetic with an avant-garde twist that’s both edgy and sporty. Russo’s signature silhouette is a sneaker-inspired bustier, an items that’s been spotted on fashion heavy hitters including Solange, Gigi Hadid and Sita Abellan.

Russo’s spring 2019 offerings are now available at selfridges.com.

Check out some looks from the show below.
