HAIGHT x FILA | Where Swimwear and Sportswear Meet
by Morgan Vickery
Streetwear fanatics, get ready: dropping today is the second collaboration between the Rio-based swimwear brand HAIGHT and Italian sporting goods company FILA.
With the first collaboration creating some serious buzz in Brazil, the two brands decided to take their relationship to the next level by going international. For this collection, HAIGHT’s creative director Marcella Franklin put her own spin on FILA’s archival pieces, coming out with 24 iconic styles — from swim to leisurewear. Sophisticated and chic, the pieces draw from HAIGHT’s beloved knit crop tops and suits from past collections.
As per the brand’s philosophy, the suits are meant to take women from the beach to out and about. In addition to beach-y womenswear, the collection will also feature a fresh take on the FILA drifter sandal and the brand’s first-ever boardshort for men.
The collaboration will be available at FortyFiveTen NYC, FortyFiveTen Dallas, Goop and Maison Jolie.
