Marking her transition from longtime brand ambassador to true co-designer, the range is framed around the core concept of "FUNCTIONAL GRACE."

Highlights include redesigned track tops and matching track pants featuring wraparound constructions, knit wrap cardigans, sheer sleeveless bodysuits, sheer leggings, wrap skirts, and polar fleece half-zip hoodies engineered for effortless layering. The assortment is rounded out by ballet-inspired accessories, including high-knit leg warmers and cut-out socks that reinforce JENNIE’s personal aesthetic throughout the collection.
