The entire world stopped, still again, when Beyoncé declared the launch of her activewear line Ivy Park. The manufacturer was 1st released as a 50-50 partnership with Topshop till Beyoncé took total ownership of the model and ended the affiliation. Quickly immediately after, Bey hooked up with Adidas.
The Beyhive buzzed with anticipation and then disappointment when the initial Tumble 2015 start received pushed to the spring of 2016, but Queen Bey did supply, in spring, as promised. Her initial assortment was dominated by maroon, orange -a color that would later turn into connected with the model – and hints of cream. All the activewear essentials (bicycle shorts, sports activities bras, leggings, baseball caps) highlighted the typical Adidas 3 stripes, and the sneakers, equally the Nite Jogger and the Smooth Super 72, immediately marketed out.
The assortment that followed ––aptly named Drip 2–– featured a more lively color palette and ready-to-wear options. Demonstrated along with the common activewear were being bold shoulder blazers, equipped jumpsuits, and chilly shoulder night-out tops.
With each assortment, Ivy Park x Adidas acquired bolder and a lot more experimental. Just previous calendar year, they dropped a Valentine’s Day-themed collection, which, yes, featured activewear but also latex, corset dresses, and a jumpsuit so glam a single may well have on it to a push function.
In spite of elaborate push kits and dreamboat branding (Troye Sivan and Tyson Beckford star in the Valentine’s Day marketing campaign), Ivy Park and Adidas feel to be parting ways.

We are not sure still what is future for Ivy Park. Shift on to another sportswear big? Embark on its own with a concentrate on completely ready-to-wear and significantly less activewear. We’re certain to know in time, and that’s Bey’s time, not ours.
