Move is the new H&M brand, from August 4, which wants to ‘democratize sportswear, including different bodies and different types of movement. “It is a fashion that sees sport in terms of movement, suitable for everyone, not necessarily with a toned, ‘gymnast’, super-trained body, and fits into the broader wellness concept of feeling better by moving in some way even simply by walking.
“I have spent most of my life making people move and I was naturally drawn to H&M Move’s mission to create movement, I also liked the idea of calling garments ‘movewear’. For me the goal is not to be more or less athletic, but to give your body the kind of movement it needs to stay healthy to take care of itself, “commented Jane Fonda, 84-year-old veteran actress, who just 40 years ago launched with his first aerobics video is a worldwide success.
“H&M Move encourages and celebrates movement, inviting the whole world to move, with the aim of breaking down the barriers of sport, through the democratization of sportswear.
