THE STORY BEHIND THE STYLE: FLOW
"Since day one in my design practice, I’ve wanted to spend more time exploring the future than trying to build a moat around the past, or even the present, which in apparel design, IS the past."
Q & A WITH ILLUSTRATOR MARISOL ORTEGA
Working with other women creatives, and WOC designers, illustrators, and photographers is part of our mission. Beautiful prints are truly the glue of any collection, holding everything together and telling a powerful story. Thank you Marisol for sharing your talent.
SPRING 2021: THE AVIARY
Birds. Not just a metaphor for diversity, but also coexistence in a way that we really need right now. As we look ahead to 2021, and all that we hope it holds… our bird song is that differences should be celebrated. We are all worthy, and we all belong. In celebration of the bird world, please meet our Aviary graphic tee collection.
BIRDS OF A DIFFERENT FEATHER
We’ve all heard the proverb, “birds of a feather flock together”, but if 2020 taught us anything, we fly further when that flock includes the support of a variety of feathers. At the end of 2020, our Volée Team Manager, Carolyn Gardner took a deep look at the Volée and asked the question - what are we doing to be an inclusive team of all types of birds?
IN GEORGIA WE TRUST
"This past week, while white supremacists desecrated the Capitol Building, carrying symbols of hate and racism, all I felt was disgust and outrage. But also, followed by a feeling of confidence, that we were entering a new era, led by those who refuse to edit their ambitions for justice."
Q & A WITH KAMI ON SPORTS BRA DESIGN
We are so jazzed for all things bras! With the launch of the Queen and Sisters bras, we would like to highlight the design journey. Hear from lead designer Kami in conversation with our CEO and Founder, Sally.
MEET OUR NEW BAND/CUP SPORTS BRAS
Our two new band/cup sports bras, the Sisters Bra and the Queen Bra, are the most highly engineered products we’ve ever produced. Ten years in the dream phase. Three years in the development and wear testing phase. Fifteen sizes. Twelve different components/materials and countless hours of collaboration with our factory partner. Now let’s get down to it.
BIG BRAS FOR BIG DREAMS
It was January 2018, when Kami (Oiselle’s lead designer) and Sally were traveling in Asia together and made a pledge. To seek and learn and develop and wear test new, band and cup-sized sports bras for as many women athletes as possible. Spring 21 is the first of what we hope will be many chapters.
HEAD UP, WINGS OUT, VALARIE ALLMAN!
We want to celebrate Val Allman's time with Oiselle the past few years as she transitioned from an accomplished collegiate athlete to a 2-time US champion, American record holder, and top Discus thrower in the world for 2020. It is time for Val to fly on in her professional career with a new sponsor and we wish her the best of health, luck, strength, courage, and grit.
