Beyoncé confirms 2016 Topshop launch

It's been over a year since ​Beyoncé​ and Topshop announced they were working on an athleisure collection together. Beyoncé​-approved leotards and leggings were said to be arriving as early as fall 2015, but now we have a launch date: April 2016.

The brand is due to launch in Topshop stores in as many as 25 countries, so no doubt you’ll be able to get your fix of Queen B’s latest venture. No word on pricing yet, but as Topshop’s involved, we imagine it’ll be on the affordable end of things.

"I could not think of a better partner as I continue to grow the Parkwood business," Beyonce said in a statement. "I have always loved Topshop for its fashion credentials and forward thinking. Working with its development team to create and produce a technical and fashion-led collection is exciting, and I'm looking forward to participating in all aspects of this partnership."​

The athleisure category – so-called because it mixes athletic performance with casual styling – has grown immensely of late, particularly in womenswear, with many females increasingly drawn to clothing that’s equally at home on the streets as it is in the gym.
