Sporty & Rich x UCLA x ‘47: A Nostalgic Perspective on Collegiate Chic
In an elegant blend of vintage athletic charm and contemporary simplicity, the lifestyle brand Sporty & Rich has introduced a new partnership with UCLA and the renowned sportswear label ‘47. The capsule collection, set to launch on April 15 at 9 AM PST at sportyandrich.com, pays homage to enduring collegiate fashion, reinterpreted through a modern viewpoint.
A Retro-Inspired Look
The Sporty & Rich for ‘47 & UCLA line unites the finest elements of three distinct realms: the casual luxury of Sporty & Rich, the lineage of UCLA, and the sporting legacy of ‘47. The outcome is a collection that feels both evocative and innovative—ideal for those who admire classic American athletic wear with an elegant twist.
Captured by photographer Fahim Kassam, the campaign showcases models Paige Reifler and Floor Vrins relaxing on stadium bleachers and running along sun-drenched tracks, channeling the essence of 1970s campus culture. Their slick hairstyles, gold hoop earrings, and vintage sneakers enhance the effortlessly stylish, athletic vibe.
Signature Items & Color Scheme
The collection features an array of essential wardrobe items crafted for comfort and adaptability. Key pieces include:
– Zip-up jackets
– Crewneck pullovers
– Drawstring shorts
– Jogging pants
– Oversized tees
Each item is embellished with the traditional UCLA logo, reinforcing the collegiate motif. The color scheme embraces classic shades: light heather grey, deep navy, vibrant gold, and cerulean blue. These colors not only pay tribute to UCLA’s legendary palette but also allow for easy mixing, matching, and layering.
Styling the Collection
The lookbook’s styling highlights a casual yet refined aesthetic. Imagine grey hoodie-and-short combinations teamed with tube socks and retro sneakers or striking blue and gold sweatshirts layered over joggers for a sporty-chic look. The collection is perfect for everything from campus wanderings to weekend errands, delivering a wearable blend of comfort and style.

This collaboration is more than just a fashion release—it’s a celebration of American collegiate life. By embracing the visual language of varsity sports and university pride, Sporty & Rich, UCLA, and ‘47 have crafted a line that resonates with both nostalgia and contemporary athleisure trends.
