In a recent post on Instagram, the French designer brand Jacquemus revealed its latest big step towards integrating more elements from the sports world into its catalog. For the venture, the brand has teamed up with sports apparel big-shot Nike to introduce its newest creation to the fans.
The “Swoosh Bag” will make its debut this Monday, according to the post, and it looks like Jacquemus has bagged one of the world’s biggest track and field icons to help them launch their product. “JACQUEMUS + NIKE COLLECTION GUESS WHO IS THE FACE ?“, reads the caption of the post that’s accompanied by a snapshot of the sporty-looking handbag that promises to cater to athletes and regular users alike.
While the post evokes a sense of intrigue with the remark, anyone who’s a fan of Richardson can’t miss the obvious giveaway. Richardson’s tattoos define her style and personality just like her explosive attitude on the tracks. So do her perfectly manicured nails.
