Background
Splits59 is a Los Angeles-based women's activewear brand launched in 2008. It was created to fill a gap in the market for refined, sophisticated performance wear that combines high fashion with functionality. The brand draws inspiration from athletic achievement—its name references the "split second" (3:59:59) mindset needed to break barriers, like the four-minute mile—and has evolved into a favorite for versatile athleisure that transitions from workouts to everyday life. It
...started as a direct-to-consumer brand and has grown through wholesale partnerships, maintaining a focus on innovative fabrics and stylish silhouettes.
Inspired by the beauty of sport and the power of intelligent design, Splits59 creates high-performance activewear with an edge—retro-inspired yet modern, effortlessly sporty, and eco-conscious. The brand emphasizes functional pieces that transcend workouts, offering comfort and style for the modern woman's balanced, multitasking lifestyle: "clothes to live, work, breathe and sleep in." It blends technical fabrics with sleek, flattering designs that allow women to stand out while feeling comfortable.
Co-founders are Jonathan Schwartz (an Ironman triathlete with family ties to Calvin Klein) and Keith Peterson (a fashion industry veteran with experience at brands like Dolce & Gabbana and Tommy Hilfiger). Their combined expertise in athletics and high fashion drove the brand's mission to produce the best performance activewear on the market.
