Taylor Bennett works in collaboration with Champion Athleticwear on a new collection entitled Be Yourself, Be a Champion. The capsule is showcased through a bright campaign with a focus on inclusivity. The all-gender designs feature tees, sweaters, and shorts with notable gym shorts to lead the range. It is designed in blue and red and applied on mesh for breathability.
This is quickly followed by a dark grey logo pullover sweater and a white logo hoodie. The iconic C logo by Champion can be found on the corner of all the designs with the 'BY' logo phrase in the middle in multi-color block letters. Talking about the capsule, Bennett states, “I think there’s a lot of people — in the music community, especially in hip-hop — that don’t feel okay with being themselves, that feel like being different is to be wrong. I’ve never shared that belief.”
