Olympic fashion gold, Stella style

Last summer it was reported that Stella McCartney had been chosen to be the Creative Director for Team Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics. Fitting - given that England will also play host to this prestigious event.

Here's what I love about Stella McCartney's designs for Adidas - the feminine touch. Of course, not every design embodies the embellishments I showcase in the photos below, but some do. Her pieces go beyond what most are even capable of producing in the active wear scene simply because she has the design background and experience of working in the fashion world.

Each of the pieces I've chosen below contain details that create a strong feminine look and feel from the use of sheer fabric, school-girl pleating, ruching over the belly area and the use of textured fabric to outline the female form and bring attention to bare shoulders.
