SWEAT IT OUT

You can now work out in style just like Halle Berry, thanks to her activewear collection for Sweaty Betty.

When you think of Halle Berry, one of two images spring to mind. The first is her head-turning fashion moments such as the iconic Elie Saab Haute Couture gown that she wore to the 2001 Academy Awards or her most recent Oscar red carpet appearance where she wore a deep lilac strapless gown paired with a chic take on the bowl cut. The second is her viral workout videos, in which Berry throws jabs or does an upside-down crunch while attached to a boxing bag. These two worlds have now collided with the actress having just collaborated with activewear label Sweaty Betty and Berry’s wellness brand, rē•spin.

Inspired by boxing and Japanese jiu-jitsu, the rē•spin edit is a limited edition twenty-two piece collection that features a mix of technical and lifestyle pieces that perform - no matter what the workout. What’s more, not only was each piece designed to see you through the toughest of workouts but they also transition seamlessly from the gym to city street, which was Berry’s aim.

As an actress, mother, and entrepreneur, I wanted to create a collection for my busy lifestyle. I can throw on these pieces, wear them all day, and still look put together.

From ultra-stylish workout sets ready to be mixed and matched, luxe parkas and even a post-gym midi dress, the fabrics in each are sleek, high-performance and support the body in all the right places. They also come in a classic palette of muted hues, from black to warm cream and grey. Stepping up its fashion credentials even more, the rē•spin edit features sculptural silhouettes with raw edges, strapping, modal slit details as well as geometric patterns on the fabric.

Though Sweaty Betty is a much-loved athletic brand here and in the US, this collab marks the brand's first-ever US celebrity collection. To Berry, the British brand was a natural fit for a partnership.

Sweaty Betty was the first brand that came to mind—they know how to make technical activewear that not only looks great but also truly performs. I love their mission to inspire and empower women to live an active life, as well as the value they place in community.

Inspiration for the collection was drawn from Berry’s life and fitness routine, as seen in the boxing patch motifs on several garments, such as Leticia, a short named after the role that won Berry an Oscar. One of her favourite pieces from her collaboration is the Storm Power leggings, “I’ve worn the Power Legging for years, so it was an amazing experience to design my own version, named after one of my most iconic roles: Storm.” Also in the collection are sustainable pieces such as the Ginger Essentials Hoodie (€100) and the Ginger Essentials Joggers (€90). Both these items are made using certified organic cotton.

Whether you're ready to sweat it out in a cardio workout or want something that will seamlessly take you from your gym session to brunch, these pieces are sure to become wardrobe essentials. Keep on scrolling to shop the collection…
