Unless you’ve
been living under a rock lately, no doubt you’ve heard about Beyoncé
co-releasing an activewear clothing line with Topshop, especially considering
that Topshop’s Australian stockists are claiming the range has had “one of the most successful launches of any brand”.
Prices start from around $35 and climb up to around $270, so they’re fairly
affordable if you’re after some basic pieces to add to your activewear
wardrobe.
The name ‘Ivy
Park’ is reported to be a combination of Beyoncé’s daughters name, Blue Ivy
Carter, and a park in Houston where Queen B allegedly use to venture to for her
own exercise and strength training, Parkwood Park.
This line will
not only have you looking smick in the gym, they are also perfect for wearing
out and about.
It hasn’t all
been peaches and cream however, with the brand receiving some backlash due to
the lack of plus-size options. While it was reported before its release that
the sizing would go up to XXL, it seems retailers are only stocking up to XL.
Many are confused considering Beyoncé’s history of advocating and embracing
full-figured women and her statement in Elle magazine in relation to the range
that, “"I was so specific about the things I feel I
need in a garment as a curvy woman, and just as a woman in general, so you feel
safe and covered but also sexy. Everything lifts and sucks in your waist and
enhances the female form."
If you’re keen to
jump online and get your hands on some pieces, the brand is currently being
stocked by Glue, The Iconic, Topshop and Myer.
