Behind the Brand: Meet Charli Cohen

Meet London's Charli Cohen -- creator of the fashionable activewear line that's been taking the fitness and fashion loving world by storm.

QTell us a bit about the vision for Charli Cohen and what inspired you to start it?

I wanted to redefine activewear as ready-to-wear fashion. My goal is to empower women to do what they want, when they want, by creating a 50/50 balance between style and utility. As an individual, I'm always seeking ways to optimise my day and that feeds into the concept behind CC. It's about clothing to feel confident and comfortable in, whether that's at the gym, at work or going out in the evening - you don't have to know what you're doing that day to be dressed for the occasion.
