Connor McDavid’s wife shared BTS pictures from her brand’s new collection photoshoot

Earlier this month, Lauren Kyle launched The Foundry Collection which is a new western-inspired line from her sportswear brand Sports Club Atelier in collaboration with the Oilers. Kyle shared several behind-the-scenes photos from the collection’s promotional ranch shoot on her Instagram.

One of the clicks showed a printed collage of the shoot lying on dry grass. Another featured Kyle and a team member guiding a horse, while a third saw a camera screen displaying a sharp shot of Kyle posing in western wear beside the animal.

“BTS from our latest @sportsclubatelier launch! 🤠” Lauren captioned the post.

Other images showed Kyle standing next to a horse outside a red barn, resting her feet inside a vintage car and posing in an Oilers jacket beside a vintage truck during sunset. One frame saw the creative team adjusting reflectors for lighting, while another showed them reviewing shots on a laptop. A few photos also included other models being directed near a barn and horse pen.

The Foundry Collection was launched just before the Stanley Cup playoffs. The full lineup is worth $1,833 and includes jackets, sweatshirts, hats, socks and accessories. Key items include a Cognac Orange Modern Rancher Jacket ($498), a Cream Canvas Utilitarian Jacket ($329), and a Blue Denim Jacket ($329).

The collection also offers crewneck sweatshirts in Oilers-themed colors ($151 each), adjustable baseball hats ($68), barrette clips ($24), and everyday ankle socks ($20 per pair). Kyle had organized a special pop-up event to promote the new line during the first round Stanley Cup playoffs at Rogers Place.
