Hello again, from RANGE.

Jeanine & Nina here!

Whether you’ve been here for years or just joined us this week, welcome to RANGE.

It’s been a minute since we’ve shown up consistently in your inbox and we thought it was time to change that.

For nearly 15 years, RANGE has been analyzing the intersections between outdoor, active, fashion & culture — observing shifts happening around us all and translating them into ideas, insights and creative direction.

This email will be a direct place for us to share some of that thinking with you.

We’re seeing animal prints migrate from ready-to-wear into activewear, technical outerwear and performance footwear, bringing a little fashion maximalism to categories historically dominated by solids and utilitarian palettes.
