Houdini Sportswear Debuts Fall ‘22

Houdini, the global circular sportswear company, committed to designs that are timeless, functional, and minimalist, with an eye on doing more with less, launches its Fall 2022 line with an essential approach for purchasing outdoor apparel, urging consumers not to embrace fast fashion. One hundred percent of Houdini’s Fall 2022 fabrics are recycled, renewable, biodegradable and Bluesign certified.

“We are the perfect antidote to fast fashion because our products stand the test of time and are a planet friendly versatile solution for virtually any life situation,” said Niclas Bornling, Houdini’s head of brand and D2C. “Houdini’s Essentials line solves all modern wardrobe challenges, with durable timeless style, from everyday use to adventures in the outdoor elements. It’s a minimalist approach to products that have longevity both in quality and fashion. By creating garments meant to last, consumers lower the emissions and waste byproducts of their clothing while using premier items.”

On average, garments are worn 7-10 times in the western world (source: The Ellen MacArthur Foundation). After that, they are often left unused or discarded. The average Power Houdi is used 1,287 times. Houdini is designing products that are used 100 times more than the average garment.

The “Forward to Nature Campaign” featuring The New Naturals, is an online marketing campaign launching Fall 2022. It highlights the Alto, Desoli and Lana product families, upgraded beloved collections adding new silhouettes and colors made with all natural materials and no synthetic mixes. These high performance, circular garments are odor-resistant, lightweight and highly breathable.

Specifically, the Fall 2022 line includes merino wool base layers, jackets and performance layers, all designed with movement and durability. New colors, including hazel, sand dune, post-it yellow and deep red have been added to current favorites The Dunfri, Moonwalk, Shelter Anorak, Lana Jacket, and Rollercoaster garment collections.

Completing the Fall 2022 collection are two of Houdini’s staple pieces, the Power Houdi and Mono Air Houdi.
