Being a passionate cyclist herself, Zsófi Geréby of UrbandLegend designs waterproof cycling wear for fashionable women who aren’t afraid of rainy days. Her 2013 Summer collection called Early Birds was inspired by an early summer morning. The campaign photos exude the lightness of vapor at the start of a sunny summer day.
The collection includes garments that accommodate the weather changes of an unpredictable summer. It includes breathable materials that are both weather-proof and light. While practical, the designs are casually elegant and can easily be included in an everyday wardrobe. Her designs are handcrafted.
Several pieces include prints of birds that resemble the name of the collection. This printed fabric was specifically designed for the Early Birds collection to inspire cyclists to get through their everyday lives in fashionable, weather-proof attire.
