Los Angeles-based fashion label STAUD has unveiled STAUD Sport, its first dedicated activewear collection. Building on past collaborations with brands like New Balance and Keds, the line merges functionality with STAUD’s signature style.
Key pieces include convertible anoraks, lightweight nylon jackets, packable ballet flats, and versatile mini dresses and skirts designed for movement and comfort. The collection also features accessories such as oversized scrunchies that double as mini bags, reinforcing STAUD’s practicality and fashion-forward design blend. The STAUD Sport collection is available online and in STAUD's retail locations.
“We’ve created a collection that delivers on comfort and performance without compromising style. These aren’t just clothes for sport — they’re clothes for life, because we believe life is sport,” said Sarah “Staud” Staudinger, CEO and Creative Director of the brand.
