Spudding fashion first
The humble jacket potato has made its way onto the runway just in time for fashion week as a US fast food giant drops an unexpected fashion collection.
Taking a leaf out of the celebrity shapewear playbook, global sandwich chain Subway is serving up its own body-sculpting drop to highlight its new range of spuds.
The limited-edition Subway Skins collection reimagines Subway’s Spudway jacket potato range into wearable high-fashion pieces, allowing fans to style their spuds their own way, from day to night.
The collection has landed to mark the launch of two new toppings joining the Spudway line-up, bringing comfort food to the high street. The new Beef Chilli and 5 Bean Chilli are both perfect for loading onto a warm and fluffy spud this autumn, and are also available as a sub, wrap, and salad with all the endless customisable topping options Subway fans know and love.
Landing on the opening day of London Fashion Week, the collection brings a playful twist to the modern wardrobe staple. Forget everything you know about jacket potatoes being deliciously lumpy, Subway Skins gives the classic, shapeless comfort food a sleek, body-hugging makeover. The capsule features an ultra-sleek bodysuit, a fitted crop top, and high-waisted shorts, all styled in earthy potato-skin shades designed to fit everybody.
The Subway Skins collection will be available through an exclusive giveaway on Subway’s official UK and Ireland Instagram channel. To enter and have a chance to win a piece from the bespoke Subway Skins collection, head over to @subway_ukireland on Instagram.
“Subway is all about doing things your own way and that shouldn’t stop at lunch, so this season we’re bringing that energy straight into fashion culture,” says Kirstey Elston, EMEA senior marketing director at Subway.
The new Chilli Beef and 5 Bean Chilli is available for a limited time only in Subway restaurants nationwide or via the Subway App, as well as Just Eat, Uber Eats, and Deliveroo.
