I am a nostalgic person and find comfort in retro photos, movies, or songs. They help me slow down in our fast-paced modern reality, filled with constant rush, anxiety, and endless scrolling. How fascinated I was when I discovered old photos of icons such as Audrey Hepburn or Brigitte Bardot in motion.

There’s something timeless about watching a woman move. Movement inspires me—not just the act of exercising, but the way women throughout history have embodied strength, grace, and play through motion. When I started building the first line of our cute workout equipment, I kept coming back to my moodboard filled with these icons from the past, reminding me that movement is not about perfection, but presence.

Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn was my idol from childhood, so I am very biased here haha. Before she was known as an actress, she was a ballet dancer. Years at the barre can shape not only posture, but elegance, alignment, and a kind of light shining from within. She carried that discipline with her everywhere. It shows that the lessons of movement don’t end when you leave the studio.

Marilyn Monroe

I am not particularly a fan of Marilyn Monroe, but her old photos with dumbbells and weights caught my attention. There is something playful, curious, and radiant in her energy. She reminds me that strength doesn’t have to be serious—it can be joyful, imperfect, even a little messy.

Josephine Baker

Before she was a symbol of resistance, Josephine Baker was a dancer. Her performances were bold and alive with energy. She moved in a way the world had never seen before. Josephine turned movement into liberation, using her body as both art and defiance. Watching her is still a reminder that movement itself can be revolutionary.

Brigitte Bardot

I love this photo of Brigitte Bardot. To me, it’s the embodiment of movement as freedom. You don’t need a studio or fancy gear to begin—you just need yourself, some curiosity, and a sense of play. She reminds me that the most important thing is simply to begin, to let yourself leap.

Cindy Crawford

In the ’90s, Cindy Crawford invited women everywhere to move with her at home. She made it look glamorous, yes, but also possible—right there, in the moment. She showed us that strength can be part of daily life, that movement doesn’t require a stage or an audience, only the willingness to move.

Each of these women reminds me that movement is never just about the body. It’s about how we show up in the world. How we carry ourselves. How we let joy, strength, freedom, and resilience flow through us.
