The athleisure capsule collection brings KARL LAGERFELD’S sophisticated touch to activewear for men and women, offering maximum comfort and range of motion. Styles crafted from technical fabrics can be worn during workouts, while other designs are ideal for relaxed weekends or traveling to-and-from the gym. Each piece is embellished with the iconic 21 RUE ST-GUILLAUME graphic — inspired by the KARL LAGERFELD maison in Paris — while a color palette of black and white further reflects the brand’s signature DNA. For women, there’s a range of high-performance styles: technical leggings with mesh insets; a racer-bank top; a sports bra with an elasticated logo waistband; and a cropped top with a built-in bralette. For running, there are spandex shorts covered by built-in nylon shorts on top; on the back waistband, a perforated mesh insert adds ventilation. Streetwear brings a polished touch to pre-and-post workout wear, including a cashmere-blend wrap sweater, a two-toned hoodie, and a full-length coat that resembles a bomber jacket fused with a pleated skirt. The collection’s statement piece is an ultra-lightweight, unisex, zip-up raincoat with an interior draw cord for a personalized fit. Pair it with a RUE ST-GUILLAUME baseball cap for an effortless, off-duty look. Designed for form and function, the men’s collection features a range of street-ready styles: a logo sweatshirt, zip-up hoodie and trackpants are made from soft French terry; there’s also a two-toned zip-up hoodie with a nylon front panel and French terry on the arms and back. For the gym or field, a nylon-blend legging is topped with contrast print panels, while compressive shorts are accompanied by built-in nylon shorts on top. To cool down, a pique polo or neoprene bomber silhouette are effortless to throw on with any outfit. Accessories include more than a dozen athleisure-inspired styles. A grainy leather bucket bag or tote bag are abundantly roomy for transporting gear to-and-from the studio. For jet-set adventures, there’s a weekender and a covetable trolley suitcase. Day-to-day errands call for a nylon offering of bum bags, a backpack, a crossbody and a large tote. There’s also a RUE ST-GUILLAUME water bottle and a premium quality yoga mat. The anti-slip, reversible, 5mm mat is accompanied by a strap for easy carrying.

The collection will be available at KARL LAGERFELD stores, online at KARL.COM and via select wholesale partners from early June 2019.
