Manchester City Women's Football Club and The
Fold have announced a long-term partnership this
week.
The luxury workwear brand will be the Official
Formalwear Partner of Man City Women.
The Fold will provide access to a selection of
quality tailoring, including the best selling Clever
Crepe performance suits for when the players need
to perform and feel their best off the pitch. The
transeasonal suiting is crafted from breathable
Japanese satin-back crepe, which is woven with
stretch to offer a flattering fit without
compromising on comfort.
As a brand that is built upon elevating women
and championing ambition, The Fold shares the
values of Man City Women in terms of celebrating
equality and spotlighting women's achievements.
Throughout the partnership, MCWFC and The Fold will also collaborate on an exciting
campaign to celebrate the players and provide a further platform for women’s football.
Speaking about the partnership, Founder & CEO of The Fold Polly McMaster said: “We
are proud to be the Official Formalwear Partner for Manchester City Women’s team at such a
pivotal moment
for women’s football. The Fold dresses women to achieve their ambitions; these incredible
players are reaching the highest level of their sport and representing their countries.
“For their most important matches and big moments, we want them to feel confident on
and off the pitch, to be at the top of their game.”
Gavin Makel, Managing Director of Manchester City Women, said: “As a club, we are
proud to be pioneers within women’s football and it is clear that the appeal of the game and
MCWFC continues to grow. It’s important for our players to look and feel professional both
on and off the pitch and we’re therefore delighted to welcome The Fold as an Official Partner
of Man City Women’s Football Club today.
“The team at The Fold have impressed us with their commitment to empowering women
through fashion and we look forward to working with them throughout the partnership.”
