Adidas' dazzle camouflage collection for Roland Garros 2016: In motion even when it is still

Two weeks ago I gave you a preliminary preview of Adidas' second groundbreaking cooperation with Y-3 for Roland Garros.Now I am happy to tell you that the company sent me a press release and promotional images for the collection's official global launch which is today, April 2nd. Among others, Ana Ivanovic, Angelique Kerber and Simona Halep will sport these one-of-a-kind clothes, as well as ball boys and girls.

Unofficially we started calling this eye-catching collection a "zebra" collection, while the story behind the print is that it draws inspiration from dazzle camouflage, a "family of ship camouflage used extensively in World War I and to a lesser extent in World War II and afterwards", as Wikipedia states.
