OUR FOUNDER

After graduating from the London College of Fashion in 2015, Nathalie Ballout created her eponymous high-end, slow-fashion label - Ballout Couture.

Celebrated for its hand-crafted artistry and innovative use of upcycled denim. Her work - championing individuality, diversity, and self-expression - was featured in Vogue, i-D, GQ, Vanity Fair, the Evening Standard and more.

When the world shifted during the pandemic, Nathalie’s commitment to conscious living led her to launch Body by Bunny, an online fitness platform empowering women through sustainable habits and a supportive global community.

Combining her design heritage with her love of Pilates and movement, the next step became clear: a luxury lifestyle and Pilateswear brand created to inspire women to live in alignment.

ABOUT EIGHT

Eight Pilates is a Pilateswear brand dedicated to empowering every woman to feel strong, confident, and connected through mindful movement, conscious design, and sustainable craftsmanship.

Inspired by the symbolism of the number 8, representing balance, strength, and infinity, Eight Pilates encourages women to embrace a harmonious approach to life through its eight pillars: Movement, Community, Mindset, Growth, Balance, Empowerment, Sustainability, and Nourishment.

Each pillar reflects our dedication to creating a supportive community and fostering a healthy, balanced lifestyle for women both physically and mentally.

WHY EIGHT?

Born on the 8th, our founder embodies the essence of Eight Pilates.

Eight isn't just a number; it's a symbol of power and strength intricately woven with feminine energy.

Our designs are a reflection of balance and the essence of 'karma.' At Eight Pilates, our garments seamlessly blend the worlds of Pilateswear and everyday fashion. We believe in promoting the significance of a balanced life.

Like the symbol of infinity, we represent limitlessness and the cycle of circular fashion and sustainability.

At Eight Pilates, sustainability is not an afterthought; it's our foundation. From our consciously sourced fabrics to eco-friendly packaging, we are committed to preserving our planet.

Our collections are designed to be mixed and matched, offering endless possibilities for style and sustainability.
