DANSKIN, the women's activewear brand developed by GOLDWIN Inc., will begin selling "DEAR DANSKIN," designed by Kisada Chika, in select stores and online stores from August 19th.

"DEAR DANSKIN," which combines elegance and activity to embody the desire to deliver a new level of elegance, is a collection born from Kisada Chika's passion for ballet as a former ballet dancer, and her encounter with DANSKIN, an activewear brand with roots in ballet.

We will develop products with designs and functionality inspired by the graceful beauty and inner strength of ballerinas, as well as the sensibilities of mature adults, and the elegance that resides in sports, under the keyword "activated elegance." 。
