Nasty Gal has partnered with media platform Sports Illustrated in an all-new athleisure capsule.
This 20-piece collection features an array of casual sweatshirts, bicycle shorts, and matching two-piece sets - all of which are inspired by the sportswear scene of the 80s. The Nasty Gal x Sports Illustrated collection has a green, neutral, and relatively monochrome color palette that sparks a feeling of nostalgia. The collection hopes to inspire young people to get active and equally aims to celebrate women in sports. Many of the pieces have empowering phrases printed on the item, such as 'Thow like a badass' or 'Don't play games, play sports.'
Shoppers can now shop the collection through Nasty Gals' website and app. The line retails anywhere from GBP 10 to 65.
