Tom Daley partners with Reiss for new collection, with all proceeds donated to LGBTQ+ charity
British high-street favourite Reiss has launched a special collection with Tom Daley, the diving champion known for his love of knitting, with all proceeds going to Rainbow Railroad, a charity that helps provide support and safety for LGBTQ+ people around the world.
Launched to mark Pride Month, the 15-piece unisex capsule collection reflects a career built from the 10-metre platform, with relaxed silhouettes in tonal blue shades of turquoise and cerulean, sequins that resemble falling water, contrasting embroidery, embossed leather patches and even chunky crocheted cardigans and sweater vests.
“These designs were inspired by some of my favourite things – water and the craft of knitting. I particularly love texture and elements that look hand-finished, such as blanket stitching,” said Daley.
Pieces in the collection include the plain white ‘Lover’ slogan ribbed vest top, the cream crochet patch pocket jorts (jean shorts) and the cobalt loose stitched pullover with contrasting seams. Don’t miss the oversized turquoise t-shirt emblazoned with an abstract image created by LGBTQ+ artist Richard Kilroy, which depicts two swimmers in a pool.
All proceeds from the collection will be donated to Rainbow Railroad, a charity that helps provide support and safety for LGBTQ+ people around the world.
