Introducing Ceres, an activewear brand with a retro aesthetic and a modern outlook.
In the 1990s, before the mid-Aughtsthat pushed everyday fashion into a more casual place, workout gear looked more like gym clothes. Well-worn hoodies and biker shorts were made of cotton, not moisture-wicking, performance-enhancing polyester. Comfort was top of mind for brands like Champion, Reebok, and Fila—which supplied the leotards and tube socks of your retro dreams.
Although the technological advancements associated with workout clothing has its advantages , synthetics are environmentally unsustainable, and for some, too tight and uncomfortable. At least, that’s how designers Nina Miner and Kumi Sawyers felt. Last year, they began working on a clothing line that would bring back the focus on soft, non-synthetic gear that could be worn during workouts or on the street. Two days ago, their brainchild, the brand Ceres, officially launched.
Ceres’ first drop is comprised of leggings, leotards, athletic dresses, and shirts made of all-natural fibers, made at local fabric mills and factories in California using sustainable and ethical measures.
At its heart, Ceres is inspired by an era before synthetic fabrics took over the activewear market. Silhouettes from the collection reference dancewear, and early ‘90s Donna Karan and Esprit. When designing this inaugural line, Miner and Sawyers looked back in time—to archival images of Muhammad Ali, Princess Diana, and Olympians from the 1950s, for inspiration.
