The collaboration between artist Yinka Ilori and Cinelli is born from the idea of the bike as a narrative surface that conveys joy, belonging, and shared movement. Dream Together, You Can Still Win isn’t just a title but a manifesto: to redefine “winning” with an aesthetic that speaks to the community. Bold colors, joyful patterns, and cultural storytelling build a coherent system of objects — a T-shirt, cycling cap, racing jersey, and a limited-edition Cinelli Vigorelli — in which the graphic mark becomes an interface between body and terrain.
The capsule takes shape in four objects: a vividly colored casual T-shirt, a cycling cap, a racing jersey, and a limited-edition Cinelli Vigorelli. Each one is infused with Yinka Ilori’s visual signature—chromatic contrasts, joyful patterns, and cultural narratives that transform the bicycle and its kit into tools of collective belonging.
Beyond the technical dimension, Ilori layers in a more poetic plane: organic, dreamlike shapes and bright, natural tones that remind us cycling is not only performance but also freedom, spirituality, and play. In this light, Dream Together, You Can Still Win flips the idea of competition: winning doesn’t mean finishing first, but sharing the journey and the joy that arises from movement.
On September 29, 2025, at Quattro Milano, Cinelli brings limited editions into dialogue with over 75 years of archive. It doesn’t come across as nostalgia, but rather as layering. An immersive installation open to the public, conversations with the artist and the team, and a community ride through neighborhoods and landmarks led by a cargo bike with a megaphone. The city becomes a stage, amplified by local cycling crews.
