Fitness apparel lines have made their way into designer fashion houses and taken on new celebrity collaborations. Stella McCartney was one of the first fashion designers to take on a collaboration with an activewear company. As the demand for fashionable workout appeal reaches a high, come see the must-have collections and newest collaborations on the market.

Actress Kate Hudson is the leading force behind Fabletics. Fabletics is an apparel line geared towards active women who are looking for apparel that meets their needs for their specific workouts. They’ve created a specialized site that lets the user create their lifestyle profile, including defining their specific workout, favorite colors and best features on their body. This gives Fabletics the ability to provide personalized outfit suggestions for each person’s needs and wants. Each new woman who signs up gets 50 percent off their first outfit purchase. Activewear that’s cute, personalized and functional? We’re all about it.
