The kit will be worn by over 900 British athletes across the 26 Olympic and 20 Paralympic sports – (that’s a whopping total of approximately 175,000 items of clothing!), so the British Olympic Association, British Paralympic Association and the athlete commission were involved in every step of the process to make sure Stella’s designs were not only stylish, but performance-led.

British triple jumper Phillips Idowu, who modelled the collection today, gave his seal of approval: “ I love what Stella has done with the design. Looking good is psychologically important but my sprint suit is also technically advanced, so not only do I look good but I also have confidence in the technology in the kit.”

Want to look like an Olympic athlete? Replica ranges of the British team kit will go on sale in April, including football, tennis, cycling, basketball, athletics and swimwear.
