London – Footwear label Charlotte Olympia has teamed up with activewear
brand Bodyism on a clothing and accessories line.
Launching in May, the collection comprises 10 ready-to-wear pieces with an
original interpretation of the footwear label’s signature prints and design
features, including the spiderweb, kitty face, leopard print and red lip
motifs.
“I wanted to design a range that could be worn out and about or for working
out in the gym, adding a touch of glamour to sportswear so that you can
feel dressed up even when you’re on the go,” said Charlotte Olympia founder
Charlotte Dellal, who has had a longstanding friendship with the Bodyism
team.
Bodyism Activewear co-founder Nathalie Schyllert said that Dellal’s playful
aesthetic was fully in line with the brand’s philosophy that activewear can
be used to make bold fashion statements.
Highlights from the collection include matching pairs of sports bras and
leggings in leopard and lip-print motifs, a long-sleeved top and matching
gym bag with the same “Kitty” face embroidery featured on Charlotte
Olympia’s popular ballerina flats.
