In addition to images of the cast wearing the clothes in campaign images, the marketing plan includes a How to Coach a Champion TikTok challenge featuring Kaye, one of the platform’s most fashionable stars; Gondal, an advocate of modest style, and Tung, a singer, actor and star of China’s “Idol Producer.”
In the campaign, the cast invites fans to participate in a series of fun challenges inspired by Coach’s fashion standing and Champion’s heritage in athleticwear. The challenges will include quick outfit changes by the cast.
As reported, the Coach x Champion capsule features leather bags, leather jogger pants, sweaters and shearling jackets sporting a new logo that blends Coach’s signature storypatch with Champion’s C-logo jock tag.
Stuart Vevers, Coach’s creative director, described the line as “a collection grounded in the authentic American heritage we share. I was inspired by the idea of elevating sportswear silhouettes in an unmistakably Coach way using leather, shearling and by combining our iconic symbols in a way that feels fresh, youthful and immediate.”
Ned Munroe, Champion’s chief global design officer, added: “To be able to pair Champion’s roots in sport with Coach’s exceptional craftsmanship creates the opportunity for Champion’s iconic styles to come to life through a new and elevated lens.”
The collection will retail for $95 to $2,300.
