In 2024 he hung up his trunks and picked up his knitting needles instead. Now Tom Daley has taken a deep dive into the sartorial swimming pool with one of the biggest names on the British high street. This summer, Reiss has enlisted Daley to create an exclusive design collaboration in celebration of Pride 2025.

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,’ says Daley.
My favourites 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. And prices start as low as £48.
It’s not unusual for Reiss to tap up household names and sporting talent to gain new shoppers. Previously it has produced successful collections with the Mclaren F1 team, featuring the likes of Lando Norris who won the Monaco Grand Prix just last month.
But the best bit about this partnership? All proceeds from the capsule which is available to shop now below will be donated to Rainbow Railroad, a charity that helps provide support and safety for LGBTQ+ people around the world.
