"I could not think of a better partner … I have always loved Topshop for its fashion credentials and forward," Beyoncésaid in Topshop's release at the time. "Working with its development team to create and produce a technical and fashion-led collection is exciting and I'm looking forward to participating in all aspects of this partnership."
The YouTube video claims that the apparel will "[merge] fashion-led design with technical innovation," the latter of which has become a requisite in the increasingly competitive sector. Many brands, including Abercrombie & Fitch and Dick's Sporting Goods, have started selling athletic wear, perhaps in an effort to compete with mainstay Lululemon.
Fans have responded positively to the brand on Twitter, and some have even said it inspires them to exercise - which, arguably, is a hallmark trait of a successful athleisure line.
