Summary

  • Simone Rocha x adidas FW26 collaboration consists of a range of apparel, footwear and accessories in an “athletic‑ethereal” aesthetic
  • Key pieces included pearl‑encrusted track jackets, ruffled Three Stripes tops and crystal‑embellished sneakers, blending practicality with romantic detailing

Simone Rocha and adidasFall/Winter 2026 collaboration made its breathtaking debut at the designer’s runway show in London Fashion Week, marking a significant shift from the designer’s previous partnerships toward a more subversive, “athletic-ethereal” aesthetic.

The collaboration spanned an array of apparel, footwear and accessories, with key apparel pieces including pearl-encrusted track jackets with puff sleeves, frilly sports bloomers and ruffled Three Stripes tops that reimagined classic gym gear as high-fashion uniforms. Rocha’s signature bows, lace and pearls softened the utilitarian edge of adidas classics, creating a mood that was both sporty and romantic.

Silhouettes are varied and playful, ranging from silky hot pants and co-branded leotards to deconstructed tulle pleated dresses hand-embroidered with satin ribbons. A notable visual highlight was the reengineered logo, which cleverly nests the famous adidas Trefoil inside Rocha’s signature “SR” ribbon motif, appearing on everything from tech-nylon dresses to knee-high socks and weekend bags adorned with oversized bows.

Footwear also played a central role, with Mary Jane-inspired shoes incorporating Three Stripes through bow‑style lacing, ballerina-style sneakers embellished with crystals at the heel and slip‑ons accented with subtle pearl details. Accessories echoed this romantic‑sport fusion, including oversized bow‑adorned bags and a white weekend tote covered in adidas logos. The silhouettes balanced practicality with Rocha’s sculptural approach, offering expressive textures and delicate embellishments that elevated everyday sportswear into collectible fashion pieces.

Accessories extend the collaboration’s sporty and whimsical aesthetic with bold, statement details. Oversized bow‑adorned bags appeared alongside structured totes covered in adidas logos, offering a playful yet practical balance between Rocha’s signature embellishments and the brand’s utilitarian heritage. Smaller accessories, including pearl‑accented headbands, bedazzled Trefoil barrettes and ribbon‑laced gloves, reinforced the collection’s fusion of delicate femininity with athletic references.

Take a closer look at the range through the gallery above. The collaboration will be available this fall season via both Simone Rocha and adidas‘ channels.
