The W Magazine Sporty Spice editorial provides direct references to the Spice Girls. While the pop band experienced its greatest period of success during the 90s, the publication has brought back one the group's most iconic looks for its February 2013 issue.
Model Caroline Trentini stands next to dancers Brahim Zaibat and Loic Mabanza in Sporty Spice. Together the group jumped around the set, imitating the attitude and movement of Spice Girls' Victoria Beckham. Stylist Giovanna Battaglia selected contemporary athletic pieces, evident in each shot via clear visors, tennis dresses and slouchy pants. An athletic photoshoot would be nothing without footwear however, hence the selection of metallic lace up sneakers and bright orange high tops.
