The zinni^™ collection features a palette of beautiful colors and original prints in incredibly soft, moisture-wicking fabrics, with the precise fit demanded by yoginis. Garnet Hill will offer customers a complete assortment of tops, pants, dresses, versatile layers, and essential accessories including a PVC-free yoga mat.

"The collection was inspired by our favorite iconic flower, the zinnia. We've featured it over and over on our sweaters and pajamas. Our customer loves it -- it has become our signature print," says Garnet Hill product manager Sarah S.

Garnet Hill chose highly technical fabrics and constructions to ensure the zinni^™ collection would be a truly functional yoga line. Adds Sarah, "The Kripalu Center was a wonderful collaborator; yoginis at the center tested the clothing, and their feedback helped us develop a line with great design and authentic functionality."

"We pride ourselves on our ability to curate products our customers love, and we're thrilled to launch this exclusive collection," says VP of Merchandising Joanne M. "We know our customers are increasingly interested in practicing yoga and holistic living; the zinni^™ collection helps them feel confident and beautiful while doing so."

Zinni^™ by Garnet Hill launches with the Summer 2012 collection in catalogs and online beginning March 14, 2012.
