Not long after Mango announced the launch of its Mango Sport & Intimates line, Inditex is hot its tail with a sportswear offering at its younger brand, Bershka. The brand has presented its first sports collection which will hit stores in a few weeks’ time.

‘Moving’, as the collection named, is made from materials specially adapted for sporting use. Moving combines the functionality of sportswear while reflecting the biggest trends of Spring-Summer 2013.

The collection – which includes shorts, sports bras, leggings and a raincoat – features five main colours: metallic silver, white, electric blue, neon yellow and black. To accompany the clothing line, Bershka is also releasing a line of accessories including a bag, a skipping rope, a water bottle and two pairs of shoes. One pair plays up to the current ‘wedged trainer’ trend, whilst the other is more adapted for sporting use. Prices range from around 15 pounds for a shirt to 70 pounds for a jacket.
