Statement:
Inspired by the Tokyo Olympics, Euro Cup, and the US Open, A League of Their Own features Angela Altidor and Lourden Berez playing multiple sports on one central track in McCarren Park in Brooklyn, New York.
After a year of solitude, an event like the Olympics brings everyone together including the viewers worldwide. The juxtaposition between a year without touching, where one often felt like a team of their own, to an event that is built on sportsmanship that only succeeds when people work together inspired Nadia and Sachiko to conceptualize this editorial.
Angela and Lourden wear pieces from designers around the world including but not limited to Delfina Balda from Argentina and made in Peru, Kkco from California, Ganni from Copenhagen, Labucq shoes designed in LA and made in Italy, and Simone Rocha from Ireland to create another juxtaposition which meshes fashion and sports in a way that is different yet also similar to the way watching sports come together felt this year. It felt odd, new, and exciting while still being familiar and reminiscent of a time before the current social atmosphere.
