Remember the Juicy Couture velour tracksuit, the uniform of noughties celebrities and many a gangland wife through much of the early 2000s?
Turns out it had an other young fan in model Karlie Kloss, who has revealed in a YouTube video that a moss green Juicy jacket was one of her most prized possessions before she hit the big time.

"I feel like it probably smells so bad because I was afraid to wash it!" she says while sniffing the garment.
The tracksuit was first designed for Madonna in 2001 before Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears propelled it to cult fashion item.
Although Kloss doesn't say when she wore it to death, it was likely at around age 13.
Kloss filmed the video during a trip to her parents' house in upstate New York to go through her clothing "archive".

"When I graduated from high school, my family wanted to support my dreams of moving to New York and pursuing this fashion career. So, my family, as amazing as they are, packed up our house in St Louis, sold our childhood home and moved to Goshen," she says.
Now her parents are moving back to St Louis, Kloss took viewers of her "Klossy" YouTube channel through her old clothes, which included several pairs of Ugg boots.
"I was obsessed with Uggs, wore them every single day and now it's time to say goodbye," Kloss says.
Her other finds at her parents' house include an Alexander McQueen dress from the designer's last collection before his death in 2010, a Rodarte hand-knitted jumper and a pink satin robe from her first Victoria's Secret fashion show in 2011.
She said in her early days of modelling she often got paid by designers including Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang in clothes.
"It's basically this bartering system where you walk in a runway show for an upcoming designer or somebody like Marc Jacobs and they pay you in clothing," she said.
She also found dresses she wore to the Met Gala in 2014 and some Chanel vintage pieces, all of which went to her "archive".
