The New Champion Collection Mixes Modern and Vintage Components
Riley von Niessen — October 19, 2016 — Fashion
The new Champion collection, dubbed 'PP-Spray,' for the Spring/Summer 2017 season draws strongly from the past, however in a way that's refreshingly contemporary.
With 90s fashion making a big comeback, the American sportswear manufacturer has an extensive history of success that it can easily delve back into. Pieces throughout the collection vary, with crewneck sweaters, hoodies, polo shirts, indigo denim-like shirts, bomber jackets and sports bras all in the mix.
Iconic branding decorates the majority of the pieces, along with faded fabrics in subdued pastels and simple cuts that are complemented by high-quality construction. With this, the new Champion collection is well-suited to consumers who have an appreciation for modernized retro looks that are comfortable, durable and timeless.
