ABOUT

Ellesse is a sports apparel company defined by a unique spirit and style. It began in 1959, when Italian tailor Leonardo Servadio fused a passion for skiing and tennis with a flair for couture. The result was the first ever skiwear and tennis collections to look as good as they felt, and to fit as well as they performed.

These posters I created were selected for the Ellesse 50th anniversary campaign. The designs were inspired by the iconic 1960 art movement popular at the time, and show stylized typographic illustrations of the classic Ellesse tennis shoe. For both posters I used the Ellesse tennis ball icon to create a unique repeat print, inspired by playful 1960s art prints. The color scheme incorporates the orange and blue tones derived from the Ellesse branding.
