5 Minutes with Vie Activist Katrina Loop

  • Why is Vie Active one of your top choices for active wear? When I wear Vie Active, I constantly get compliments from people on how cool my outfit is! Plus it is warm and comfortable, which is so important for me when teaching yoga super early in the morning.
  • What are the benefits of wearing this range when training?It is super soft and comfortable, and is breathable, so unlike some materials that don't breathe, the merino fabric feels great on the skin.
  • How does this enhance your workout? and post workout?If I build up a bit of a sweat working out, it doesn't feel sticky, due to the fabric's moisture wicking quality. So no cold and wet feeling!
  • How does wearing the range make you feel?Easy!! Fashionable and sexy. I like to stand out!
  • What are your favourite pieces from the range?  Another easy one! The Katrina Tank!

  • Message you’d send to the world. That life is too short to be doing things that you don’t really care about, or to be spending it with people that don’t add value to your life. There are so many distractions we face today, and people really need to be mindful about getting sucked into them, rather than spending it with the people they love, and doing things that truly make them happy. We get each moment once. Make it count.
