Zumba launches clothing line for Harrods in the UK

Dance-fitness craze Zumba has shimmied its way into Harrods in the UK with a British-inspired line of fitness clothes.

The new collection -- the brand's first retail launch -- features two dozen pieces including T-shirts printed with the British flag and Big Ben, mesh tops, leggings, hoodies, vests, tank tops, cargo pants, as well as a patent-leather bowling bag also featuring the national flag.

The collection arrived on the fifth floor of Harrods in London on May 15, where it will hold court exclusively for two months. You can also purchase the collection online: http://www.harrods.com/brand/zumba

"We wanted to create a collection that connects with our Zumba community while speaking to the Harrods consumer," said Zumba fashion design manager Sigal Cohen in a statement.

"While maintaining the signature look and feel of our Zumba apparel, we applied special treatments and print techniques to the fabrics, including chrome and reptile artwork adorned by iridescent and gunmetal foil."

In other fitness fashion brands, designer Stella McCartney, who designed the Union Jack flag embellished kit for Team GB, has also created a limited edition "My 2012" collection for Adidas.
