1984…Arguably one of the biggest years of empowerment for female pop stars such as Madonna, Tina Turner and Cyndi Lauper, and coincidentally the year one of Hollywood’s most captivating young actresses, Scarlett Johansson, was born. Fast forward to the present…….Reebok teamed up with Johansson in July, 2006 to create Scarlett “Hearts” Rbk, a fashion-forward, athletic-inspired apparel and footwear signature collection influenced by the decade in which Johansson grew up.
Combining 80’s-inspired athletic silhouettes with modern feminine detailing and bold, unexpected twists, the Scarlett “Hearts” Rbk collection launches at retail globally in March 2007 and will be previewed for the first time in November in New York City, Los Angeles, London and Tokyo.
“In designing Scarlett ‘Hearts’ Rbk, our team kept Scarlett’s authentic, signature ‘80’s style in mind while also being sure each piece spoke to the sexy confidence she exudes,” said Reebok’s Vice President of Lifestyle Design, Amy Schaeffer. “Scarlett is a true blend of vintage and modern and our collection reflects the unique mixture of both.”
“It’s great to work with Reebok and a female team of designers who will be wearing the line,” said Johansson. “Scarlett ‘Hearts’ Rbk collection is very feminine and urban with a lot of fun fabrics, bright colors and cute details.”
