Nike, Lourenço & Karlie... Nike, via its more progressive NikeLab concept label, teams up with Brazilian designer Pedro Lourenço to present a new women’s training collection. Designed to transition from workout to everyday wear, the 11-piece capsule represents a play on proportions and layering and includes three looks and two footwear options. Throughout the collection, Lourenço employs materials that perform at the gym, with a fashion-forward softness and femininity. For the designer, the collaboration was an opportunity to explore new design opportunities while still staying true to the aesthetic of his eponymous label, which often pairs innovative fabrics with dynamic, fluid shapes. Adding to the collection’s fashion cred, Nike enlists model Karlie Kloss, who also happens to be an avid athlete and classically trained ballet dancer.
