Kostüme has partnered with contemporary British artist Adam Ball for an exclusive collaboration. A limited-edition collection of just 350 pieces worldwide, it merges high-performance apparel with fine art precision.

The print for the collection is taken directly from an original painting created by Ball exclusively for Kostüme. It draws on energy patterns found in nature, organic flows and dynamic forms, and mirror the rhythmic circular motions of cycling.

Adam Ball, who is celebrated for his monumental outdoor light installation – Until the Day You Feel Good – at the Royal Papworth Hospital in Cambridge said: “I wanted the artwork that I created for Kostüme to feel dynamic. For that cyclical, circular motion and flurry of movement to be evident when the cyclist wears it”.

Ball, known for his meticulous studio practice, found natural alignment with Kostüme’s approach to product development. “One of the things that links Kostüme and me is that details matter. Getting things right matters. As an artist, if there’s a long way and a slow way of doing something I always do it the slow way. Cycling understands marginal gains better than almost any sport, those tiny adjustments make a huge difference. That obsession with refinement is something I deeply relate to” said Ball.
