From the school-run to the office, from the ballet barre to the boxing ring, the modern woman’s routine has a changeable nature which demands high-performance active-wear with a high-fashion aesthetic. The same goes for Varley's Activewear.

In 2014, Lara Mead with husband, Ben Mead created Varley, a London-based activewear line inspired by a vacation the couple took to Santa Monica, California. Two years later, the 29-year-old CEO is running her company from offices in London and Los Angeles and has grown it into a full-scale contemporary lifestyle brand. The influence of both cities is visible within the brand, which fuses Californian ease with London style.
“I grew up in a very active family, my father was a professional soccer player, and I started competitive running at the age of 10,” Ms. Mead said. “Activewear has always been a major player in my wardrobe.” The Meads were both working in high-pressure jobs when they decided to launch their own business.
