October 21, 2010:
Luxembourg, 21 October 2010 - Amazon.co.uk today announced the "Heidi Klum for New Balance" collection is now available exclusively at Amazon.co.uk (www.amazon.co.uk/clothing).
"The range of "Heidi Klum for New Balance" is a great addition to the Clothing Store at Amazon.co.uk," said Kes Nielsen, director, Clothing at Amazon.co.uk Ltd. "The line is amazing – gorgeous fabrics and incredibly styled – and we are delighted that Amazon.co.uk will offer it exclusively."
Retailing from £26 to £132, the "Heidi Klum for New Balance" collection includes tunics, knits, woven tops, leggings and outerwear pieces, all created for active women and featuring high-end fabrics, such as cashmere blends, cottons and silks.
"Finding and making the perfect basic is a major challenge, and I think with this collection we rose up to that challenge. When I gave the Project Runway designers the opportunity to create a look for my collection, they thought it would be easy but soon realised how hard it is! A great basic with an interesting twist is special and catches the eye--it makes you want to turn to it in your wardrobe again and again," said Klum. "I think this collection does achieve that perfect blend of versatility and uniqueness. I'm also excited to have partnered with Amazon. I love the convenience of shopping online on my own time and having packages delivered to my doorstep - it doesn't get much easier than that!"
The "Heidi Klum for New Balance" collection benefits from all of Amazon.co.uk’s delivery options including unlimited free One-Day Delivery for an annual membership fee of just £49 with Amazon Prime, and Free Super Saver Delivery where each and every product sold by Amazon.co.uk automatically qualifies for free delivery within the UK.
