Run & Relax, the Norwegian activewear brand renowned for minimalist design and functionality, has announced a new sustainable capsule collection for Spring/Summer 2025, created in partnership with Italian yarn specialist Fulgar. The brand has selected Q-Nova by Fulgar, a sustainable polyamide 6.6 fibre made from regenerated raw materials, to produce a selection of its new garments.

The collaboration aligns with a wider movement seen across Northern Europe, where sustainability has become a defining principle in the fashion industry. Governments, consumers, and brands in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland are embracing circular economy principles, investing in recycled and bio-based fibres, and pushing for transparency and traceability in raw materials.

For Run & Relax, the use of Q-Nova reinforces its mission to inspire women to embrace wellness through comfortable and responsibly made apparel. Q-Nova is produced through a low-impact mechanical process that significantly lowers environmental impact while maintaining key performance attributes such as softness, breathability, and durability.

Founded in 2011, Run & Relax creates yoga and workout apparel designed for women who balance active lifestyles with work and family responsibilities. Its SS25 collection with Fulgar underlines the brand’s continued evolution towards ethical and ecological innovation, offering garments that combine elegance, high performance, and sustainability.

The new collection is now available on Run & Relax’s official website.
