Elite Eleven's recently introduced LUNA capsule highlights the use of "a brand-new proprietary fabric range" that represents a significant material innovation for the activewear brand. The performance-driven capsule launches with 14 styles in a variety of inclusive sizes and contemporary colors.
The fabric is lightweight and engineered to provide gentle, light compression that contours the body while enhancing the wearer's natural shape. The garments, thus, offer a supportive fit without the restrictive feeling often associated with high-compression performance wear. The resulting second-skin silhouette aims to merge the functionality of athletic gear with a refined, polished aesthetic suitable for both workouts and everyday wear.
The silhouettes in Elite Eleven's LUNA are available in shades like Black, Coffee Bean, Cloud Blue, and Butter.
