LAKE LOUISE, Alberta,
Nov. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Today, Under Armour and Lindsey
Vonn debut the world champion alpine skier's Signature
Collection. The Lindsey Vonn Signature Collection includes six
unique pieces built to take you from the ski lodge to the slopes
with modern cuts and bold colors. The collection reflects Vonn's
personal style, on top of the authentic performance elements
consumers know and love from Under Armour. Vonn was involved from
the beginning, collaborating with Under Armour's designers to help
inform and create the collection from start to finish.
Vonn's confidence and her style philosophy inspired the design
of each piece in the collection. Unlike traditional skiwear, the
collection features nonconforming patterns such as vintage camo,
iridescent purple, ombré copper and rose gold zippers. Without
compromising style and tapping into Vonn's experience on the
mountain, each piece is designed to function in a way that benefits
athletes.
"I'm thrilled to finally share my new Under Armour Lindsey Vonn
Signature Collection," said Vonn. "The Under Armour team gave me
freedom to express myself throughout the entire ideation and design
process; I love being able to ski in looks that not only perform,
but are also fashion-forward and different from anything else you
would see on the slopes. Under Armour helped me bring my vision to
life and the incredible amount of thought and detail that went into
each piece is what makes this collection so special."
"There is no doubt that Lindsey is an athlete that is 'Unlike
Any.' Her athletic achievements, and her dedication and
perseverance to overcome setbacks has been remarkable," said
Topher Gaylord, General Manager of
Outdoor, Under Armour. "With this Signature Collection, we wanted
to showcase a different side of Lindsey – her unique style,
confidence, and fearlessness that you see, both on and off the
mountain."
Winter sport and fashion enthusiasts alike will appreciate the
collection's attention to detail, functionality and versatility,
including technical fabrics, custom finishes and oversized
fleece-lined collars. Vonn's deep involvement and personal touch is
seen throughout the collection, down to the details. For example,
the custom LV Logo displayed on her collection is taken directly
from her signature; each item honors a milestone in her historic
athletic career; and the lining of the jackets feature a custom
print that showcases her accomplishments.
The name of each piece in this collection commemorates a
milestone in Lindsey's historic career to date. The collection
includes:
- UA Maribor Jacket – a waterproof bomber jacket featuring a
white goose down body and hood. The jacket was named after her 2013
run in Maribor, Slovenia where she
secured her 59th World Cup victory.
- UA Louise Jacket* – a jacket that features an asymmetrical
front, tall collar and camo print, giving this piece a modern look.
The jacket is named after Lake
Louise – a place that has been nicknamed Lake Lindsey due to
the success she has consistently seen on this course; Vonn has been
on the podium 25 times at Lake
Louise.
- UA Santa Caterina Ski Pant – a ski pant with a leather-like
finish and a zippered flare. Bormio-Santa Caterina,
Italy is where Vonn competed in
her first World Championship in 2005.
- UA Bansko Sweater – a sweater featuring a high, oversized
collar with a ribbed knit fabric and fleece. The piece is a nod to
her 10th World Cup victory, which she won in Bankso,
Bulgaria in 2012.
- UA Sicario Legging* – a legging featuring a unique iridescent
print and a 4-way stretch fabric. In 2006, Lindsey was awarded the
Spirit Award in San Sicario, Italy
from athletes and fans after coming back from a crash and
competing, despite injuries.
- UA Cortina Beanie* – a beanie with a full knit body and double
pom-poms. This playful look is named after Cortina D'Ampezzo, where
she broke several records; in 2015, Vonn won her 63rd
race and overtook the record for the most wins ever by a female
skier.
