Launching
another new fashion collection of workout gear in collaboration with New
Balance which includes trainers, leggings, hoodies and more, German model Heidi
Klum has opened up on trying to put a fashionable spin on active-wear. The
model explains that she set out to make women feel stylish even as they work
out, but also to create something functional and easy to wear during a workout
so women would be encouraged to get active daily.
She
compliments New Balance for being passionate about their work and helping her
to achieve her goals as she collaborated with them: ''As much as I
love dressing up in sparkly gowns and attending glamorous events, I
also love great active-wear. It's fun working with
a company that is also passionate about fitness and fashion.
The Heidi Klum for New Balance line is inspired by the idea that
fitness should be a daily part of everyone's life. 'I really wanted to
design a collection of items that women could feel fashionable
wearing while working out.''
Klum
loves the idea of making active-wear chic and even set a challenge on reality
show 'Project Runway' (she is a judge on the show) to see if contestants could
successfully mix fitness and fashion together. She loved how the results turned
out and thought the trainers the models wore looked great: ''I had my
'Project Runway' contestants design an outfit that would fuse fitness and
fashion. All the models looked fierce on the runway wearing their sneakers.
They definitely kept a fashion attitude.''
