Kipling North America, a division of VF Sportswear, Inc., is excited to announce the launch of its Holiday Collection this October.

Kipling USA celebrates feminine festivity this holiday season, introducing a new approach to the creative direction and elevated designs. Armed with a 360° Holiday campaign and fashion influencer Olivia Culpo as the face of it, the brand dives into the refreshed vision of Nina Flood – newly named President of Kipling North America in June. In tandem with this new leadership, the 2016 Holiday collection will mark Christine Lee's second season with the brand as its Head Designer, North America. Christine brings with her years of experience and a pioneering vision for the brand's aesthetic. Continuing to experiment with fabrics and treatments, Kipling's 2016 Holiday Collection promises luxe textures, brilliant hues, and famed functionality.

Kipling set its sights on Olivia Culpo as the face of the brand this season. With her infectious energy, the former Miss Universe has made a name for herself in the world of fashion and entertainment.
