Athleta Creates a Dance Collection with San Francisco Ballet

[Helene]

As this article in Pointe Magazine notes, there have been other athletic wear collaborations with dancers -- the article mentions Copeland and Hayward -- what I think is newsworthy is that the collection isn't specifically tied to a popular, well-followed dancer, but Athleta has chosen to partner with a ballet company.

Those of us who have listened to past Conversations on Dance podcasts got to hear about the Tiler Peck "Body Wrappers" dancewear again and again.  ;)

There do seem to be many, many dancers getting into designing clothing and accessories, as well as modeling. Just now, when I looked at one of Tiler Peck's outfits (which are inexpensive but stylish and, dare I say it, sexy), I was surprised to see SFB's Koto Ishihara modeling the outfit:

But there seems to be a lot of dancers involved with fashion in one way or another.
