adidas by Stella McCartney jumps into 2017 with a Spring/Summer campaign that celebrates the rule-breaking and trail-blazing attitude of the modern female athlete. This season, Karlie Kloss is joined by sprint star Octavious Freeman and renowned yoga instructor Chelsey Korus as they champion the pursuit of new challenges, shaking up routines and embracing variety together.

“The adidas by Stella McCartney Spring/Summer 2017 campaign is about inspiring today’s women to test themselves, wherever their workout takes them. We wanted to celebrate their incredible energy manifested through movement and creativity, as well as the exceptionally dynamic lifestyles that Karlie, Octavious and Chelsey lead. These three women show that if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything,” says Stella McCartney.

The three protagonists will feature in a series of energetic behind-the-scenes videos, photos and soundbites that aim to inspire likeminded women to create their own rules in training. Karlie, Octavious and Chelsey unite to show how their steadfast determination enables them to pursue new challenges and push limits, without compromising on style.

This includes Octavious giving Karlie tips on how to improve her speed training and showcasing the optimal post run warm down, Karlie braving springboard heights and underwater dives and Chelsey showing how to master the handstand in a few, simple steps.

“The adidas by Stella McCartney Spring/Summer 2017 is about celebrating strong female athleticism and embracing new challenges. During the shoot, I learned new ways to strengthen both my body and mind from the other incredible women who champion this exciting new collection. This campaign is all about making your own rules but also embracing inspiration from others.”says Karlie Kloss.

Captured on camera Octavious says, “Every run is a new opportunity to be your very best and see what you’re capable of.”
