Annie Leibovitz shoots for Nike

We’re going a little bit sporty over here at ShinyStyle today. But as we all know sport and fashion do merge pretty well, especially if your a top sports brand like Nike, which has teamed up with one of our fave photographers Annie Leibovitz.

Together the pair have launched Nike’s 2011 Make Yourself movement to inspire and motivate women everywhere to achieve their goals and become the best ‘versions’ of themselves, whatever this may be: fit, proud, fast, healthy, strong or beautiful

The Make Yourself Team is a collection of elite female athletes who have reached the top of their professions and are passionate about making themselves the best they can possibly be.

Brought together by Nike from a variety of sports and different walks of life, they are authentic, charismatic and committed women who embody the Make Yourself philosophy – with hard work and dedication anyone can overcome obstacles to improve their lives and reach their goals.

The team features USA track and field Olympian Allyson Felix, Chinese tennis player Li Na, Algerian-French dancer Sofia Boutella, British hurdler Perri Shakes-Drayton, Russian-born tennis star Maria Sharapova, USA goalkeeper Hope Solo and Australian surfer Laura Enever.
As part of the Make Yourself campaign, the team shares their inspirational life stories, fitness routines and goals to encourage women across the world to put a stake in the ground and start making themselves too.
