Dillard’s launches Nastia Liukin for Gianni Bini capsule collection
Dillard’s announced on Monday the launch of its third limited-edition capsule collection offered under its exclusive Gianni Bini brand, created in collaboration with Olympic Gold Medalist Nastia Liukin.
Available in Dillard’s stores across the nation and online at dillards.com, the collection offers apparel and footwear that combine classic silhouettes with contemporary tones and trend-setting materials that capture the essence of Liukin’s bold personal style.
“My love and passion for fashion has always been there. I even designed all my competition leotards since I was ten or so. Having this creative opportunity with Gianni Bini and Dillard’s has been so much fun, and the team has been incredible,” explained Liukin.
“Every single item in my collection is named after someone or something meaningful in my life. I have always been a firm believer in everything and everybody comes into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. These pieces are a celebration of those little or big moments that make us feel proud – of ourselves and of each other.”
The Olympic champion secured her place in history by winning five medals at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Her talent and dedication have also earned her a place in the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame, USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame, and the United States Olympic Hall of Fame.
Moreover, for over a decade, she has been the lead female gymnastics analyst with NBC Olympics, providing expert commentary and insight during gymnastics events at the Olympic Games.
Dillard’s vice president Alexandra Dillard Lucie added, “We could not be more excited about Nastia’s stunning creations for Gianni Bini! The gorgeous pieces are an ode to the modern woman whose fashion needs are as diverse as her calendar. Just in time for the holidays, from festive work parties and holiday gatherings to cold-weather staples with a twist, this collection embodies your dream fall capsule collection.”
Gianni Bini is Dillard’s largest ladies’ contemporary brand. It launched in 2001 with footwear and later expanded to apparel.
In March, Dillard’s launched its first limited-edition capsule collection offered under the Gianni Bini brand, with Charleston, South Carolina-based style influencer, Venita Aspen. The collection was followed by a partnership with Tampa-based style and beauty influencer Jessica Payne, known online as Jess Southern, which launched in May.
