The “pilates princess” look gets an upgrade, complete with full glam and stilettos. On set for V161, model Karoline Niek makes athleisure chic with the help of stylist Anna Trevelyan. The set takes on the 60s aesthetic illuminated under neon lights. Photographed by Luigi and Iango, the shoot exudes an exciting energy, bringing movement and fun to the page. Wearing Alo Yoga, Chrome Hearts, and Alexis Bittar, along with others, the styling brings together luxury and functionality with the gym the goal destination. This runway’s just a stop along the way.
