Marriage clearly agrees with Dua Lipa<\/strong>‘s wardrobe. Freshly returned from the festivities that made her and actor Callum Turner<\/strong> official, the singer has thrown herself into what can only be described as a girl-boss summer, treating the walk from home to the recording studio as though it were a fashion week schedule all its own. This week’s most telling appearance came in the form of a sneaker, and a rather clever one at that. On her way to the studio, Dua reached for the season’s most coveted pair, the Asics x Completedworks<\/strong>, styling them with an acid-green tee and matching Palace<\/strong> joggers and hoodie, round Gucci<\/strong> sunglasses, and a Herm\u00e8s<\/strong> Birkin 30 dressed up with a silk Twilly scarf. It is the sort of ensemble that looks tossed together and is, of course, nothing of the kind.<\/p>\n

When Sportswear Meets the Jewelry Box<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The magic here lies in an unlikely marriage of worlds. Completedworks, the London label founded by Anna Jewsbury<\/strong>, made its name on sculptural asymmetric earrings and pearl necklaces before turning its curious eye to sportswear. The result reimagines the Asics Gel-Kayano 20<\/em><\/strong>, a running shoe plucked from the brand’s early-2000s archive, and lends it the soft, almost molten silhouette of a piece of jewelry. Jewsbury once described her studio as a team that loves to take an idea and picture it in an entirely new category, and you can feel that restless curiosity in a running shoe that behaves like an objet d’art. The choice suits Dua rather perfectly. Between running her book club and championing emerging writers, she has quietly become one of pop’s genuine intellectuals, and there is something fitting in a woman who reads for pleasure choosing a sneaker that asks to be read as an object, layered with references and quietly pleased with itself.<\/p>\n

The Beauty of a Sneaker With a Conscience<\/h1>\n

Best of all, this is a shoe with a soul as considered as its shape. When the collaboration launched earlier this year, part of the proceeds went to a community programme at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, one built around artist-led activities in the name of mental wellbeing and creativity<\/strong>. It is a rare thing, a sneaker that flatters the outfit and quietly does some good in the world. Pair yours as Dua does, with something soft and sporty, or let them sharpen up wide trousers for the back-to-work stretch ahead. Proof that comfort and cleverness can share a single sole, with a little art thrown in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42787,"featured_media":114054,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[17],"yoast_head":"\nForget Sambas: Dua Lipa Just Wore the ASICS Sneakers Every Fashion Girl Wants Right Now - Grazia USA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Dua Lipa's Asics x Completedworks sneakers are summer's most coveted pair.
