After a four year partnership with Under Armour, American Ballet Theatre's principle ballerina Misty Copeland and the brand have launched the Misty Copeland Signature Collection. The collection is of course rooted in performance aspects, with dance especially in mind.

Copeland's goal with the collection was to create a line that embodied both performance, femininity and strength.

"Under Armour helped my vision become a reality and I'm so excited to share this collection with women everywhere. I wanted a line where we could feel fierce in the gym, and at the same time, feel confident wearing the same look out to dinner, running errands or living our everyday lives," said Copeland. "As someone that appreciates style and fashion as much as I do, it has been a dream come true to be so intimately involved in the design process. I wanted to showcase the versatility of my own personal style, and together with Under Armour, we are bringing a beautiful collection to life."

The collection includes leggings, workout tanks, bodysuits and trench coats. The collection is also designed to highlight women's curves. Materials like lace were put through a performance lens to make it feel modern and fresh in a bodysuit silhouette.

"We feel strongly that women should look and feel great in their clothing, and Misty's Signature Collection truly embodies that, complete with feminine cuts and gorgeous fabrics," said Morgan Goerke, general manager of women's at Under Armour. "Under Armour celebrates the power of women, and Misty is the epitome of a powerful woman with the poise, command and grace she carries with her on and off the stage. Misty's passion for lifting women up perfectly aligns with Under Armour's platform and the result is this beautiful, collaborative collection."

Classic Under Armour cuts and technology are incorporated into each piece, making them durable, innovative and flattering. The collection uses UA Breathelux fabric, which is wicking with a silky smooth, lightweight finish, and several pieces have a perforated lace pattern for additional ventilation and subtle style. Price points for the collection range from 60 dollars to 550 dollars.
