“<\/strong>ABSOLUTE BODY KONTROLL”<\/strong> <\/em>was the slogan used during the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, when the Italian brand Kappa was selected to design and dress the American team. It was a crucial year for the athletes and for the brand. Equipped with silver Kappa clothing, enhanced with space technology, American sprinter Carl Lewis<\/em> equalled the record set by Jessie Owens at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, propelling the Italian sportswear brand into the future.<\/p>\n

\"Kappa<\/p>\n

Now the brand’s FW2018<\/strong> collection, recently launched under the same motto, continues Kappa Kontroll<\/strong>‘s technical evolution by drawing inspiration from ski suits with an inside-out vision, performance science and the classics of the 1980s in mind, creating a streetwear aesthetic connected to today’s digital age.<\/p>\n

Here is the lookbook of the new collection: ABSOLUTE BODY KONTROLL.<\/strong><\/p>\n
