The collaboration made its debut at Rocha's AW26 runway show at Alexandra Palace Theatre in London, and it didn't ease into the idea, it committed to it. Track jackets came finished with pearls and puffed sleeves. Classic Three Stripes tops were softened with ruffles. Sporty shorts turned into silky hot pants, and ballet-inspired sneakers arrived with crystal-embellished heels and pearl detailing where laces used to sit. Bows, lace, and pearls didn't decorate the sportswear so much as rewire it, giving it an "athletic-ethereal" mood, somewhere between locker room and ballet studio.
