Juicy Couture has tapped singer Mahalia for its newest Y2K-inspired collection, sharing a series of velour tracksuits and outerwear options that are inspired by the artists’ unique approach to fashion. The collection revolves around the concepts of self-love and freedom of expression, and Mahalia describes the collection’s influence as "[loving] yourself outside of the physical aspect. My greatest love is me."
The collection comprises a velour tracksuit that comes dipped in shades of black, navy, and baby pink, in addition to a matching black velour puffer jacket for the forthcoming winter months. Finally, the collection is rounded off with a luxe grey loungewear set that is ideal for lazing around the house.
The Juicy Couture x Mahalia collection is available on Tessuti’s website.
