Friday, July 2, 2010 by Andrew Foss
Last Monday, the first episode of Make It or Break It's new season premiered - with all the gymnastics and all the drama season 1 started. You can see some pretty cool GK Gymnastics Leotards on the show.



as noted on the Make It or Break It Blog:

Love the fashions from Make It or Break It? We got the inside scoop behind some of the leotard’s featured from the show.

Did you catch Kaylie’s candy pink and black practice leo in tonight’s episode? This beautiful asymmetrical leotard was introduced in the GK 2010 Spring Gymnastics Workout Essentials Leotards and Apparel Catalog.

Made from Candy Pink and Black Mystique, this striking leotard features an asymmetrical strap design. Asymmetrical leotard styles have always enjoyed popularity. But this last year has been more so, as asymmetrical styling has been featured prominently on runways, red carpets and in fashion magazines.

This may possibly be credited to US First Lady Michelle Obama, who wore an asymmetrical dress to her husband’s inauguration ball. You can now find this leotard in the GK Summer Leotards catalog online!!!
