My Inspiration Behind the Terrain Collection

Hey guys!

This has been such a CRAZY WEEK. I have barely slept the past several days.

Why?

Well, in addition to launching an entire new POPFLEX collection, I thought it’d be a great idea to also host a live workout ON THE EXACT DAY JUST ONE HOUR APART.

What was I thinking. I spent Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday watching countless audio tech YouTube videos til 1AM and driving all over Southern CA buying products through my car window with a mask on to get the right sound equipment for this live workout because…EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE WAS SOLD OUT. This quarantine apparently has caused an explosion in livestream tech related sales. WHO KNEW!? (Just like how I can’t find any tie dye sweatshirts and sweatpants ANYWHERE. I even resorted to buying little boys white sweatpants because it was the only thing left, thinking I could just tie dye it myself, but instead I couldn’t even get the pant past my calf so no tie dye sweatpants for me!!!!)

ANYWAY.

I eventually got my livestream audio together figured out by Monday, thanks to my new fave audio tech guru Henny! Here’s how the live turned out! You could hear me and the music PERFECTLY (which is a huge struggle for fitness classes)!

Thank you to everyone who came! We had nearly 10,000 people working out at the same time! SO COOL!!! I could feel your energy through my screen!

I wanted to do a live workout not only to motivate you to move during this crazy time, but to also celebrate the launch of my most FAVORITE designs to date…I introduce to you…The Terrain Collection.

When I was designing the #TerrainCollection, I wanted you to feel the magnificence of the great outdoors in your body. I wanted you to feel the mountain breeze in your hair, smell the evergreen leaves brush past you, and hear the sound of a hidden brook right beyond your trail path. From the earth toned colors to the effortless silhouettes, everything you’ll find in my new collection is designed to bring you closer to nature.

The design process begins with inspiration. Where do I get mine? It is a mixture of:

Colors and shapes that capture my attention
Experiences that make my heart flutter
Things I care deeply about
Things you care deeply about
Sensations that make me feel good
Functional features that just make sense
YOUR HONEST FEEDBACK

For example, a while back on the POPFLEX Instagram, we asked you guys what shorts length you liked. Many of you guys answered “biker”! I was surprised because at that point, I hadn’t fully bought into that length. I had typically been a booty shorts type! But I kept that length in the back of my mind.

Then when we released the Capricorn legging with the crossover waistband, it got such great reviews (totally accentuates the hourglass figure on any body type) that I thought, maybe I should pair the crossover band with the biker length to make something interesting! And well, that’s what happened! The Wander Shorts were created!

The Terrain Collection is so special for so many reasons:

KINDER TO THE EARTH. The bags that the clothes are packed in are made from…CORN. Yes!!! Seriously!
