Lucy Bronze Trades The Pitch For Pinstripes In ALIGNE’s New Collection

At the start of 2024, ALIGNE’s CEO Ginny Seymour had a bold idea: if the intersection of sport and fashion had long been skewed towards men, why not change the game? Enter Lucy Bronze - England and Chelsea star, Euros winner, and now, fashion collaborator. After fronting ALIGNE’s SS24 campaign to overwhelming response, Bronze is back, but this time not just as the face. She’s stepping into a new role as creative partner, shaping ALIGNE’s AW25 collection with her own vision and voice.

‘From the start, I wanted this collection to feel empowering and accessible to all women,’ Bronze tells us. ‘It’s about versatility - pieces that fit into everyday life, that make you feel like you belong.’

The 18-piece drop is as versatile as the athlete herself. Think relaxed tailoring with a sharp edge, everyday staples cut to flatter athletic builds as much as they do minimalist dressers, and clever details that let a pinstripe suit double as off-duty chic or boardroom polish.

Bronze admits her input was hands on from the very beginning: selecting sketches, tweaking colours, and insisting on cuts that fit strong legs and athletic frames - a subtle revolution in itself. ‘Growing up, it wasn’t always easy to find clothes that fit right. This collection was designed so women of all shapes could feel confident.’

Her favourite? A pinstripe co-ordthat captures her duality. ‘It’s formal but casual - you can tighten it up or wear it loose. That balance sums me up right now.’

For Seymour, the collaboration has been just as transformative: ‘Lucy would cycle to our office on her Chelsea days off, casual and effortless. That attitude, strength without pretence, runs through every piece.’ With AW25 here and a second drop already confirmed for early next year, Lucy Bronze and ALIGNE are building a new kind of fashion space one that moves with women chasing what they want.

‘Sleek and sophisticated’, is what Bronze has dubbed the collection, scroll to discover ALIGNE x Lucy Bronze, and shop your autumn wardrobe now.
