In Valencia, Yomif Kejelcha Atomsa set a personal best, completing a half marathon in 58 minutes and 32 seconds. But in Paris, he and fellow Ethiopian runner Tamirat Tola discovered a new challenge: running fashionably late. Grace Wales Bonner invited them to join a show that celebrated long journeys and life missions, aptly named "Marathon." The event attracted notable guests like Lewis Hamilton and Naomi Campbell, forming a mise-en-scene curated with Wales Bonner's signature completeness.

Wales Bonner continues to shine, capturing accolades like the British Fashion Council's GQ Designer Fashion Fund. In this collection, her collaboration with adidas takes center stage, embodying the spirit of legendary athletes Haile Gebreselassie, Genzebe Dibaba, and Eliud Kipchoge. Their world-record-breaking times adorn collaborative adidas Neftenga sneakers, a testament to their silent messenger status.

Just like a marathon, the show unfolds at a captivating pace. Each look reveals why Wales Bonner deserves her weight in Olympic gold. Delicate studs and beads grace collars and jacket seams, while silver running shorts contrast with cheetah print cowhide vests adorned with larger metal beads. Wales Bonner expertly balances conflict and satisfaction, transitioning from suit ensembles with concealed fastenings to technical black boiler suits complemented by satin cummerbunds.

The collection features shearling-lined UGG loafers alongside Wales Bonner's sporty silver Himco footwear. Checkered capes paired with leggings add sophistication, while Wales Bonner-branded adidas side bags in rich leathers provide a touch of elegance. Collaboration with adidas takes a twist, blending dignified tailoring from Anderson & Sheppard with hand-applied embellishments and elevated fabrication. Notable standouts include a denim suit with printed side stripes, a white jacket piped in silver beading, and an irregular hemmed cheetah spot vest in cowhide.

Wales Bonner's craftsmanship shines through unique designs, such as a macintosh coat displaying adidas' Trefoil logo on the outside and a checkered print inside. A metallic silver track jacket is elevated with a cummerbund waistband adorned with a gold Trefoil. From tailored pieces to sportswear, Wales Bonner SS24 offers a comprehensive wardrobe for the modern fashion enthusiast.
