H&M is on a mission to get everybody moving.
Today, the popular retailer debuted its newest brand, H&M Move, a collection of activewear essentials that blend fashion and function. The brand says that its new line is made to equip "Movers" with stylish essentials that allow them to stay comfortable and confident while being active.
To celebrate the new launch, the brand tapped fitness icon Jane Fonda to be the face of the campaign. Fonda changed the way people work out with her now-iconic at-home fitness tape, "Jane Fonda's Workout," so the role made perfect sense. And she showed off some of her classic moves along with choreographer JaQuel Knight in a fun campaign video that was released yesterday.
"I've spent a lot of my own life getting people to move and was naturally drawn to the mission of H&M Move to get the whole world moving, I also really liked their philosophy of 'movewear' over 'sportswear,'" Fonda shared in the release. "To me, it's not about sports or being the most athletic. It's about giving your body the kind of movement it needs to stay healthy so it can take care of you."
The line isn't catering just to avid gym-goers, though; the company says that "everyone on the planet," is already considered a "Mover" just from moving.
"Removing barriers to sport is very much at the heart of our purpose, starting with democratizing sports apparel," Simon Brown, general manager at H&M Move shared in a release. "We provide a wide range of movewear across several categories that are stylish, functional, and incredible value for our customers. Combined with our passion to get everybody and every body moving, together with our Movers Jane Fonda and JaQuel Knight, we are truly inspired for the journey ahead of us."
The first drop in the collection, which was released this week, includes a variety of essentials that are made to be worn for every type of movement, from functional tops and lightweight jackets to bras and items designed specifically for running. Items start at just $13, with a majority falling in the $20 to $35 range.
The line, which includes pieces for women, men and kids, is available now in 2,500 stores worldwide and on the H&M website. Keep reading to shop some of our favorite pieces from the new launch.
