Kappa is Back - Return of a Classic: The Anniston Jacket and Astoria Pants
Founded as a sock and underwear company in Turin, Italy, in 1916, the current Kappa brand was officially registered in 1967, yet it did not feature their now universally recognized "Omini" logo, the silhouette of a man (left) and woman (right) sitting back-to-back in the nude, until two years later.
Developed as the athletic compliment of the Robe di Kappa brand, Kappa stood on it's own to become heritage line dedicated to casual sportswear and technical gear in 1968 and have since been an industry leader as one of the top 5 sporting brands in the world.
In 1979, Kappa became the first brand to sponsor a sporting team. Their sponsorship of the champion Italian Juventus Football Club, lead to partnerships with world's top soccer teams such as A.C. Milan, F.C. Barcelona and the Italian National team for the UEFA Euro Cup in 2000. Over 50 years Kappa continued to gain popularity and recognition across Europe. Kappa became a household name in North America during the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles when the USA Track and Field Team wore Kappa sportswear and took home a grand total of 50 metals: 26 gold, 15 silver and 9 bronze.
Kappa's tradition of aligning itself with the best teams and players in sports continues today as the sponsor of associations such as A.S. Roma, Fulham F.C., the Jamaican National team along with many others. Kappa does not limit its sponsorships to soccer clubs, but also sponsors leading rugby, basketball, volleyball, rally, skiing, golf, fencing and martial arts teams, as well as many sports federations.
Available in over 120 countries, Kappa has evolved into a global lifestyle brand that transcends sports with seasonal collections for men, women and children. Kappa offers high quality products that fuse Italian design details with a touch of technical capability that span the premium athletic apparel, casual sportswear, accessories, and athletic and casual footwear categories. We are a brand for all athletes in the "sport of life" with product that makes them stand out for being stylish in their element...whether that is the stadium or the nightclub.

McQ ALEXANDER MCQUEEN OPENS LONDON FLAGSHIP STORE
14th September 2012. McQ Alexander McQueen announces the opening of its first flagship store on London’s Dover Street. The store was conceived by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen and realised together with David Collins Studio.
“We wanted to create a story and a home for McQ and the flagship on Dover Street is an extension of this world. The store offers special catwalk pieces alongside ready-to-wear collections in a rich and immersive McQ environment.” – Sarah Burton.
“We looked at fetish. We wanted the home of McQ to be a parallel view of Alexander McQueen, where eroticism is part of the fabric and design that slowly unfolds throughout the store.” – David Collins.
THE STORE
Situated within a Georgian townhouse, the retail space is spread over three floors covering 3,000 square feet. The store will be home to the entire McQ collection, offering the full mens and womenswear collections as well as runway pieces, footwear and accessories.
The concept of the store draws inspiration from surrealism and boudoir contrasted with Brutalism. There are references to the handwriting of McQ throughout, from rich velvet to precious hand-crafted finishing as well as tough, utilitarian fixtures inspired by modernism and street culture.
The exterior of the store is decorated in pale grey complementing the soft colour palette reflective of skin tones within. At the core of the space is the central feature: a curved, concrete staircase imposing flow and direction throughout the building. Walls are treated in Japanned lacquer. Original steel columns with polished, stainless steel rivets are exposed.
Furnishing showcases McQueen’s take on supernature and carved anatomical details, contrasting with clean, hard metal lines. Shuttered concrete is juxtaposed with sumptuous flocked velvet and ivory shag pile carpeting. Fibreglass resin hanging rails reflect the McQueen obsession with the body.
Two interactive features are included in the store. On the ground floor visitors are greeted by an interactive digital table and billboard featuring brand content and imagery. Gesture-controlled mirrors on the first and lower ground floors allow customers to browse the collection and photograph themselves in looks which they can then share with friends via social media channels or email.
