Stylish workout retailer Bandier has recently collaborated with Barbie to create a fashionable fitness collection inspired by the ’80s. The new Barbie x Bandier capsule features a range of workout clothing and accessories, including the one-piece Tempo playsuit, a white cropped tee, a workout bra with matching black leggings, a cozy fleece crewneck sweater, yoga-friendly grip socks, and casual crewneck socks. These pieces are all finished with Barbie-inspired touches, such as her recognizable ponytailed silhouette, logo, and pink stitching. The collection is available for purchase on Bandier’s website as well as in select retailers, including Saks Fifth Avenue and FAO Schwarz.
To celebrate the launch of the collection, Bandier has curated a list of their favorite Barbie-inspired pink spots in their hometown of New York. These include the boba tea cafe Mtea in Flushing, the Tribeca cocktail bar Tiny’s, and more. This collaboration comes hot on the heels of the success of Greta Gerwig’s blockbuster film, which stars Margot Robbie as Barbie and Ryan Gosling as Ken. The film has already earned $900 million at the global box office and is on track to join the billion-dollar club in the next week. The star-studded lineup also includes Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Simu Liu, Dua Lipa, Ritu Arya, Michael Cera, and Emerald Fennel as Mattel dolls in the flesh, and America Ferrera, Helen Mirren, Will Ferrell, and others as humans.
During the press tour for the film, the director and the cast sported their best beyond-Barbie Land looks on the pink carpet. On set, Margot Robbie even implemented a weekly “pink day” where she would collect fines from those who did not follow the assignment. These fines were then donated to charity.
The Bandier x Barbie collection features a range of stylish and functional workout pieces that are perfect for any fitness enthusiast. The Tempo playsuit, priced at $124, is a standout piece in bubblegum pink, featuring Barbie’s iconic logo and ponytailed silhouette. It is made from high-quality, sweat-wicking fabric that is perfect for any high-intensity workout. The collection also includes a white cropped boxy tee for $74, a cozy fleece crewneck sweater for $134, a front-row bra for $84, and center stage leggings for $124, all featuring Barbie-inspired details.
In addition to clothing, the collection also features Barbie x Bandier grip socks and casual crewneck socks. The grip socks, priced at $18, are perfect for yoga or Pilates as they provide extra grip and stability. The casual crewneck socks, priced at $22, are made from soft and comfortable fabric, perfect for everyday wear.
The Bandier x Barbie collection is a must-have for any Barbie fan or fitness enthusiast looking to add a touch of fun and nostalgia to their workout wardrobe. Whether you’re hitting the gym, attending a yoga class, or simply running errands, these stylish and functional pieces will help you look and feel your best.
