Style and Status

The tracksuit's journey reveals how fashion is made. Once functional sportswear, it was adopted by subcultures like hip-hop and grime, becoming a symbol of working-class identity and rebellion. This association led to its rejection by the mainstream, linked to stereotypes like the 'chav'. But this only fueled its authenticity, leading to its eventual re-appropriation by high fashion. The same item once banned from clubs now sells for thousands, showing who really decides what's cool.
