An illustrated anthology of the tracksuit in streetwear From futurism to present, everything you need to know

The tracksuit as we know it did not exist until the second half of the last century. Pure Italian pride the suit was launched by the Italian Futurist movement, invented in 1919 by two Florentine becoming herald of subversive values, currently part of the heritage of the Pitti Palace collection. Its innovative line provided for a single piece of cotton worked with seven buttons, a belt and a few seams; its design is linked to the protest against the bourgeois taste that characterizes the post-World War clothing.
It is precisely from this model that tracksuit's story begins: here's a brief illustrated anthology for decades.
