Since the ’90s, model off-duty style has epitomized effortless cool girl dressing — defined by supers like Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Cindy Crawford, who turned Calvin Klein jeans, basic white tees, and minimal leather jackets into the height of aspirational dressing. Now, Kaia Gerber is carrying that legacy into a new era of laid-back style with an athleisure collaboration with Vuori. Launching today, the collection offers a curated edit of foundational pieces that reimagine the modern off-duty uniform through an activewear lens.

Vuori by Kaia features six activewear pieces that fuse laidback, West Coast style with nods to early 2000s trends. Think low-rise yoga pants and leggings paired with streamlined cami and halter workout tops that work just as well for running errands as they do in the gym. For the collection, Kaia drew inspiration from signature Y2K style, ’90s workout videos, and yes, her mom Cindy Crawford’s famed paparazzi photos of the same decade.

“I kept thinking about those iconic paparazzi shots — Gisele, Kate Moss, even my mom — wearing tiny tanks and shorts with such effortless cool. That’s the energy I wanted: pieces that work as hard in the gym as they do in the world,” Gerber said via a statement from the brand.

To achieve that versatility and ease, the collaboration is centered around a Vuori signature high-performance fabric: “BlissBlend™ became the foundation for this collection because it offered exactly what we were aiming for: a buttery-soft hand feel with technical performance. It moves with the body, holds its shape, and seamlessly transitions from workouts to everyday wear. It was important to us – and to Kaia – that the pieces felt as good lounging at home as they did during a sweat session,”  Sarah Carlson, Senior Vice President of Design at Vuori, exclusively tells WWD. 

The end result? A tightly-edited capsule collection that delivers all the building blocks of a modern off-duty wardrobe. A pair of low-rise foldover flare pants serves as the Gen Z iteration of leggings, complete with the nod to Y2K style that continues to resonate today. The minimalist cami workout tank offers a built-in bra and a silhouette that can be worn on its own to work out, or layered underneath an oversized blazer for elevated fall outfits. Meanwhile, the halter top delivers that ’90s super energy that made model off-duty dressing a thing in the first place.

With prices ranging from $64 – $118, the Vuori by Kaia collection is now available to shop — with each piece offered in three colorways: white, black, and navy blue. From the itty-bitty micro shorts to the modern takes on yoga flares, shop the edit to channel some major off-duty dressing of your own below.
