All About Juicy Couture: How Fresh Collaborations Launched the Brand’s Gen Z Comeback
Best known for its iconic velour tracksuits, Juicy Couture has expanded from its home in Los Angeles to reach fans across the globe. The brand is no stranger to unique and unexpected collaborations with familiar industry names like Kraft Mayo, Stoney Clover and Red Robin, blending its signature Y2K style with today’s top trends. As it enters new markets and categories, Juicy Couture is reinforcing its place in the fashion space while ushering in the next generation of it girls around the world.
THE JUICY UNIVERSE
Juicy Couture came to life in the mid-‘90s, when it introduced the tracksuit that would soon see itself adopted by some of the biggest names in the fashion, music and entertainment industries.
Early adopters of the iconic set included Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Jennifer Lopez—all of whom helped propel the brand to an extraordinary level of covetability.
From opening up shop in Las Vegas to setting foot in China, London and more, Juicy Couture pushed further into distribution and accessed a broader audience worldwide.
Following its acquisition by Authentic in 2013, Juicy Couture became synonymous with hype and nostalgia, bringing together generations of fans as it explores new collaborations and categories.
UNEXPECTED COLLABORATIONS
RED ROBIN
Juicy Couture and casual dining chain Red Robin served up a tasty twist on the velour tracksuit with The Juicier Collection.
The limited-edition line celebrated Red Robin's most flavorful burgers, featuring a set emblazoned with the word “Juicier” on the back and Red Robin’s logo on the hip and chest.
REEBOK
Reebok and Juicy Couture teamed up on a limited-edition footwear and apparel collection that blended some of the most iconic fashion trends of the ‘90s.
Seamlessly fusing Reebok’s sports heritage style with the trendsetting fashion legacy of Juicy Couture, the capsule included five footwear silhouettes and eight apparel pieces.
Tracksuits, graphic tees, bodysuits and more were also infused with signature Juicy elements, such as velour textures, rhinestone details, metallic accents and pink and black colorways.
ATHENA CLUB
The exclusive Juicy Couture x Athena Club shower set brought together two icons—Athena Club’s innovative approach to skincare and Juicy Couture’s unapologetic, playful glamour—for the ultimate Y2K dream.
The luxurious collection was designed to offer the ultimate body routine for seriously soft skin: the Gentle Sugar Scrub to start, the Fluffy Shave Butter for prep and the iconic Razor Kit in Juicy Couture’s classic pink shade for a smooth finish.
