Behind the Scenes Look & Chat with Gabrielle Douglas

Soon after the announcement of Gabrielle Douglas as the latest GK Champion, work began on her first collection of gymnastics leotards culminating in a photo shoot for the upcoming Spring 2013 Workout Essentials catalog.  In between shots, GK had a chance to chat with the 2 time Gold Medalist. 

GK:  How does it feel to have a collection of GK gymnastics leotards with your name on them?

Gabrielle:  It just feels amazing to have my own line! I’m so excited for it to come out, I’m even going to buy my own line.  It’s just very exciting.

GK:  What are your favorite features of your Spring collection of GK gymnastics leotards?

Gabrielle: I love my spring leotard collection because everything is really comfortable.  I know that when I work out, I always want to be comfortable.  The fabrics are not only comfortable, but cute too.  There is one I love called “slither,” kind of like an animal print.  I just hope you guys love it.

GK:  Is leotard design something you’ve always wanted to do?

GabrielleI’ve always loved designing my own leotards.  I remember designing leotards for Classic's or Visa’s and throwing different colors in and a whole lot of bling in.  I’ve always dreamed about designing my own leotard line. 

GK:  What is your inspiration for your leotard designs?

Gabrielle: My inspiration comes from cool designs, the idea of comfortable leos, just crazy colors, crazy rhinestones, just a mix of it all.

GK:  Is there anything you’d like to say to the young gymnasts who will be buying your leotard collection?

Gabrielle:  Yes, I would just say I hope you guys love my GK gymnastics leotards.  I hope you succeed in all that you do in this sport.  Never quit, never give up, always have fun, and love the sport!
