The artists and designers will create works representing Strength, Courage, Might, Speed, Power, Truce or Stamina, bringing Olympic and Paralympic values to life through a project that salutes the longstanding connection between fashion and the visial arts. As this lavishly illustrated book will show, when great minds collide, amazing things happen
