SAUL NASH AND LULULEMON UNVEIL THEIR ‘SLNSH’ COLLABORATION
words by BEX WHITLEY
Saul Nash, once again, proves that he is one to watch, after unveiling his upcoming Lululemon collaboration- SLNSH. Known for redefining contemporary sportswear, the young London designer fuses his signature aesthetic with Lululemon’s technical prowess, resulting in a collection where movement meets innovation.
Taking over the Boiler House in East London, SLNSH Spring 2025 unfolded as an immersive experience, transforming the space with striking creative interventions. Wireframe mannequins stood like futuristic sculptures, campaign visuals were displayed across the venue, and bespoke lighting designs cast dynamic shadows, all amplifying the synergy between movement and design that defines the collection.
Timed with the opening of London Fashion Week, the SLNSH presentation pushed the boundaries of a traditional runway show. Five dancers, choreographed by Movement Director Benjamin Jonsson, brought the collection to life through the performance—paying tribute to Nash’s own roots in dance. By merging movement and design, SLNSH continues to highlight the intersection of sportswear and high fashion.

In a period full of collaborations, it was refreshing to see two brands give and take from one another, seamlessly blending visions. Whilst iconic silhouettes of Lululemon’s featured throughout, Saul’s distinctive design language and individual style still remain at the forefront. Neutrals accented with pops of colour , exaggerated zipper pulls and woven panels make this collection a little different to Lululemon’s previous looks. The result? A collection that’s equal parts high-energy and high-fashion, engineered for the streets as much as the studio, proving that performance gear can be as stylish as it is functional.
The London event saw emerging and established names from the worlds of fashion, art, music and culture in attendance alongside friends and collaborators of Saul. VIP guests for this launch included Kano, Kojey Radical, Michael Ward, Ayra Starr & Anaïs Gallagher. Saul represents the best parts of London, and the city's influence is a driving inspiration behind his designs. In an inspiring speech at the event, he explained, “Not many people that have come from where I come from are standing here doing what I am doing. Thank you to everyone who believed in me on this journey.”
As a multifaceted artist, Saul, who previously explained that ‘‘music created the culture he grew up in '’, blurs the lines between fashion design, music culture and contemporary dance. His creations tell a story of fluidity, expression, and a unique fusion of movement and style. He fulfils an intention to create a collection that is technically sound yet also suitable for integrating into the day to day wardrobe
SLNSH will be dropping globally on March 11.
