The Pynkiss Fashion Decathlon

 Unless you’re from another planet you cannot have failed to notice that this year is Olympic year. 

 The ancient event, reinvented early in the 20^th Century, will this year be held in Europe’s largest city, London, and anyone who’s anyone in the world of sport will be there cheering on the sporting stars from more than 205 nations around the planet. The world has literally gone sporting crazy... and so in true Hello Kitty and Pynkiss style, we’ve created our ‘fashion decathlon’ with some slightly less sporting disciplines than the Olympic counterpart...

Shopping – Before taking part in the Pynkiss decathlon you’ll need to do a little energetic shopping in one of the Pynkiss boutiques recently opened all over the world. This is just a snapshot of what to expect  if there isn’t a store currently near you (it’s the Pynkiss stand at the world famous Pitti Bimbo fashion show in stylish Florence back in June this year) to give you a taste of what’s coming your way soon, and of course, the online store will be opening early next year.

Swimming  – The fabulously fluid aquatics venue in the Olympic park will play host to swimming, but whether on the beach or at the pool, you will look cuter than Hello Kitty herself in this pink and yellow bikini with matching towel.

Running – Keeping fit and active is important, no matter what your age. These super-smart trainers in usual pump style or cute little bootie versions will help you get fit for a summer of sport.

Weight-lifting – A bag is a must for every girl about town... and anywhere else, for that matter. Pynkiss bags are stylish, yet practical and perfect to keep all your essentials in one place without weighing down your natural sense of style. Pynkiss perfect!

Boating – Whether rowing for gold, sailing for silver or boating for bronze (and in this case we mean a sun tan!) you need to look the part. This naval inspired blue and white ensemble will ensure you’ve earned your strips this sports season. All aboard, Pynkissers!

Cycling – we all know that shorts are simply a must have when it comes to anything to do with two wheels. This season we’ve gone shorts crazy and have them in all colours of the rainbow and fabrics from velour to denims. Add style power to your peddle power this summer.

Gymnastics – Hello Kitty loves the graceful flow of floor gymnastics and thinks the rather plain gymnastics outfits could do with a lift. She suggests this gorgeous tangerine dress that would swirl and dance with every movement.

Tennis – We’re not at stuffy old Wimbledon now and that means a dash of colour to the usual whites of the tennis court. Team this cute white skirt with any colourful creation from the Pynkiss Spring/Summer Collection and you’ll be acing it all day long.

Track and Field - Athletics really is the major Olympic event, where new world records are broken and re-made every four years. Whether jumping, running, throwing or leaping this summer, our versatile and comfortable tracksuits are perfect for every sporting fixture in your summer diary. This one is already in gold, now how appropriate is that?

And finally, for those of you who prefer to sit at home and cheer on your home team there is indeed one important Pynkiss discipline for you.....

Chief Clapper and Cheerer – simply get down to your local Pynkiss boutique and choose from our myriad colours to make up your own country’s flag – clap until your hands sting and cheer until you're horse and really go for gold!
