Teyana Taylor is the face of Jordan brand's debut women's apparel collection.
After announcing its commitment to expanding women's offerings in 2018, Jordan Brand launched a full women's apparel collection on Friday. The debut capsule range, modeled by Teyana Taylor, taps into the global sportswear label's heritage — basketball culture, streetwear, and its ongoing"Flight" theme — while also incorporating the modern-day woman's wardrobe desires: multi-purpose, athleisure-leaning, fashion-conscious clothing.
"When I see that Jumpman logo, all I can think of is I can fly," says Taylor on what the 35-year-old brand means to her."It inspires you. You've just got to keep going and you've got to shoot your shot and slam dunk that shit." Since Jordan Brand set out to expand upon women's apparel, a category that has garnered triple-digit growth last year, the team traveled across the globe to learn more about the needs of its customers."We needed to be in conversation with consumers," Andrea Perez, Jordan Brand Women's global vice president and general manager, tells NYLON."We gathered insight from the team — designers, product development, product management — and all over the world from L.A.
"We knew that the hunger was there, but we wanted to make sure we walked before we could run," adds Michelle Walter, design director of apparel. While Jordan Brand has released apparel for women in the past, Spring 2020 marks its first full range of clothing made specifically for them. Inspired by the first female space commander in flight, the collection focuses on utilitarian details, a result of the insights gathered from Walter and her team's research.
