She's known for her somewhat bold sartorial statements and now Rita Ora is pouring her love of fashion into a new range for adidas.

Rita has collaborated with adidas Originals in a three season collaboration, a match that, according to the sportswear brand, was brought about by a 'mutual admiration for breaking the rules and their shared rebellious natures'.

The range, which lands on August 21, is full of heritage classics that have been updated with Rita's edge and personal style. And now, the singer has given fans a sneak peek of her designs.

For AW14, she's emblazoned bold graphics - including her own initials - and vibrant colours over the sporty designs.

Speaking about her upcoming collection, 23-year-old Rita said: 'The collaboration came about through mutual love and appreciation.

'I have always been a fan of adidas Originals and respect what they stand for in their fearlessness and originality.

'I worked very closely with adidas Originals to put a personal touch in every piece with connections to my music, my career and my life. I'm really proud of the collection and beyond excited for my fans to get their hands on it!'

A spokesperson for the brand added: 'Known as much for her fearless take on fashion, as for her head turning musical collaborations, Rita Ora has carved herself a pedestal for her energy and original spirit.'

Despite her success in the fashion world, her personal life recently endured a blow and Rita recently revealed she still ‘adores’ her ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris.

The 23-year-old, who split from the Scottish DJ in June after just over a year of dating, admitted that she still isn't over their break-up.

She told Britain's Glamour magazine: ‘We both work really hard, we're both all over the place.

‘I'm not doing too great but I'm doing better than I thought.

‘I adore him and he's an amazing human being.’

The R.I.P singer also admitted she would never have spoken about their split on Twitter if Calvin, 30, hadn't used the social media site to confirm their romance was over.

She added: ‘Honestly, if Calvin hadn't done it, I wouldn't have. It took me five days to write three sentences. It was massive.’

It was previously claimed the 'I Will Never Let You Down' hitmaker was left ‘embarrassed’ when Calvin used Twitter to announce they had separated because she was "shocked" by the public post.

A source said: ‘Rita was left embarrassed when he tweeted that it was all over.

‘She didn't think he was going to make the announcement, so she was shocked.’

Announcing their split, Calvin wrote on the site: ‘To address speculation -- myself and Rita ended our relationship some time ago. She is a beautiful, talented woman & I wish her all the best. (sic)’

Since the news the star has been keeping very busy indeed, travelling all over the globe performing, as well as forging a career for herself in acting.

On Thursday Rita uploaded an image of herself on an unknown set, drinking from a mug featuring the image of a clapperboard.

She captioned the snap: ‘Just wrapped a secret movie I can't wait for you all too see it!! Pittsburgh your awesome!!’

Earlier this year she also shot 50 Shades Of Grey, in which she plays Christian’s sister.

Meanwhile, in terms of romance, Rita has been linked to Tommy Hilfiger’s son Ricky Hill. The pair have been spending time together in both the UK and the US.
