Kate Hudson and Fabletics: Actress Gone Designer

Kate Hudson has done it again and we aren’t talking about a new lead role in a rom com. The actress has taken a break from the big screen to take up designing fitness wear.

Now I’m not sure about you but in recent months very slowly but surely a suggested ad page has been repeatedly popping up in my Facebook newsfeed. The culprit?

Hudson has spent the last year co-founding and launching the online retail store.

So what makes Fabletics stand out from all the clutter of athletic wear? Well, first off it’s extremely fashionable and secondly, it’s extremely affordable. Third, it’s extremely personalized.

Hudson’s aim was to create athletic wear that gave all women what they want within a reasonable price range. Her reasoning, the movie star gone designer tells Vogue, “Why wouldn’t you want to reach women on a wider scope to motivate them to become more active? To me that’s what it’s all about.”

Fabletics is bound to be a real competitor in the athletic wear market especially when it’s backed by someone like Hudson, who knows thinks like a business woman but designs with the consumer in mind. Not to mention, with some of the sexy backless tops Hudson has designed I’m confused if I should be wearing them to work out or go out…
