Not a new-comer to the designer collaboration scene (see Y-3, Jeremy Scott and Opening Ceremony), the German sporting giant is set to launch a capsule collection with a completely different kind of designer: the British furniture designer Tom Dixon. The fruits of this relationship will be revealed at the Milan design trade fair, which takes place between the 9 and 14 April.

Tom Dixon has confirmed that the collection will feature two types of bags as well as clothing and accessories. “Inside, the bags reveal a complete kit of parts for our week long stay in Italy – neatly, crisply and compactly folded with maximum efficiency to provide a complete wardrobe for every possible occasion,” explains the Tom Dixon team in a press release.

For Tom Dixon, this is not his first venture into the fashion world – he also collaborated on a Lacoste polo shirt in 2006.

The Adidas collaboration will be debuted in Milan within an immense environment of a reconstructed 19th Century Railway Station at MOST, in the Museum of Science and Technology. You will have to wait until next January, however, for the products to reach stores.

Adidas and Tom Dixon have signed on for four capsule collections.
