The collaboration marks the brand’s debut athlete ambassadorship and signals a new phase in the evolution of Fabletics Men, which was introduced in 2020.
“In partnership with Ja’Marr, we’re ushering in a new era for Fabletics and how we disrupt men’s apparel,” said Fabletics co-founder Don Ressler. “This collaboration is about the intersection of peak performance, something that Ja’Marr embodies on and off the field, and unmistakable personal style. It’s a combination that, yet again, sets Fabletics apart from the pack – bringing bold confidence, unique innovation, and unmatched quality to the category.”
Branded with the tagline “Chasing No One,” the two-part collection draws inspiration from Chase’s lifestyle and is designed to support the modern man. The first drop includes core styles from Fabletics Men’s best-selling “The One” franchise, a natural link to Chase’s nickname, “Uno,” alongside limited-edition graphic T-shirts and hoodies co-created with the athlete. The collection also introduces DNA, a new Fabletics silhouette derived from the arch of the brand’s “F” logo.
In addition to new designs, the collection features several of Fabletics’ established men’s styles, such as The One Jogger and Short, the Effortless Tee, the Don Cruiser Jacket and the Convertible Travel Bag. Looking ahead, the second drop will debut GridTech, a new proprietary fabric developed to deliver warmth without added weight.
“As an athlete, what I wear is not only a reflection of my personal style, but a testament to the importance of how I move on the field, in the gym, and in all aspects of my life,” said Chase. “Fabletics has allowed me to create a collection that’s not only about looking bold 24/7, but how fashion and performance go hand-in-hand in helping build your confidence in being the best.”
Chase joins Kevin Hart as a leading figure for Fabletics Men, which has grown into a $300 million business since its launch.

Bringing together two British brands “united by a shared love of beauty and storytelling”, the collaboration will see Dalloway Terrace transformed into an immersive space “celebrating love, nature and artistry”. It’s a trend we’re seeing more and more often with brands linking up with complementary destinations in a way that benefits both partners.
Inspired by Elizabeth Scarlett’s signature wildflower motifs – the terrace will feature a specially commissioned floral installation, “drawing guests into the brand’s romantic, nature-led world”.
At the heart of the partnership is a limited-edition Afternoon Tea, specially created to celebrate the partnership with a special menu (pastries and sweets inspired by the brand’s signature storytelling).
To mark the event, every guest who books a space on the day will receive a complimentary limited-edition Elizabeth Scarlett love heart stripe pouch (RRP £38), created for the collaboration. Some of the proceeds will also be donated to wildlife conservation.
Elizabeth Petrides, founder of Elizabeth Scarlett said: “We wanted to create a moment where guests can slow down, look closer, and feel immersed in the natural world – even in the heart of the city. From the wildflowers that surround you to the wildlife artwork at the core of our brand, it honours the magic that happens when artistry and nature meet.”

CGT labour representatives from the Moet&Chandon and Veuve Clicquot champagne houses said in a video addressed to workers on Friday that they should drop their tasks for “at least three hours.” The union launched protests last month against a cut in annual bonuses and other benefits at the world’s largest luxury group, even as it keeps The group hasn’t yet publicly commented on the labour dispute. LVMH’s Moet Hennessy alcohol division had no immediate comment when contacted by Reuters on Friday.
Management at the unit had offered to pay a one-off 1,000 euros ($1,162.20) payment to workers after it said it would not pay usual annual bonuses amid a decline in sales, said the CGT, an offer “not at the height of our expectations.”
“It is really important to continue to put pressure on the company,” a CGT official said in the video message, adding that further talks are planned for Wednesday. So far, no strike action has been announced at LVMH’s other drinks businesses, including the Hennessy cognac brand.
