Multi-disciplinary artist and designer Yinka Ilori is always on to his next adventure. And this time, he’s doing so on a bike. Ilori is the type of artist who’s continuously pushing himself in new directions, with his latest foray leading him into a collaboration with the Milanese cycling brand Cinelli.
Entitled ‘Dream Together, You Can Still Win,’ Ilori’s capsule collection launches today, marking the second installment of Cinelli’s 2025 Artist Collaboration. The first collaboration in the ongoing project, which celebrates the intersection of art and cycling, featured designs by Shana Sadeghi.
Bike culture has been an integral part of my childhood, shaping many of my experiences as an inner-city kid in London.

Anything Yinka Ilori designs is unmistakably his, and the ‘Dream Together, You Can Still Win’ collection is no exception. All featuring his signature use of bold colors and vibrant patterns, the range includes a casual tee, cycling cap, racing jersey, and a limited edition Cinelli Vigorelli track bike.
It’s a pleasure to be able to contribute my own spin on this, collaborating with Cinelli’s creative team to take cycling back to its essence.

To kick off the launch of the ‘Dream Together, You Can Still Win’ collection, Cinelli and Ilori are partnering up to host an immersive exhibition and community ride at Studio Quattro in Milano today. The event will offer guests an in-depth look at the limited-edition capsule, in addition to select archival pieces from Cinelli’s 75+-year history. Open to the public, the space will offer viewings and conversations with Ilori and the Cinelli creative team.
The Cinelli team and Ilori will also lead a one-hour community ride as part of the event, visiting Milan’s visually rich neighborhoods and landmarks to enjoy the art, design, and culture that define the city. Some of Milan’s most influential cycling collectives will join for the ride.
“Bike culture has been an integral part of my childhood, shaping many of my experiences as an inner-city kid in London,” said Ilori in a press release. “The bike itself symbolizes freedom—it’s a tool
which allows you to venture, to escape and to expand your horizons. Cinelli holds a decades-long reputation for collaborating with creatives, exploring the interplay between art and cycling. It’s a pleasure to be able to contribute my own spin on this, collaborating with Cinelli’s creative team to take cycling back to its essence.”
