In a brand new interview for Elle.com, Selena Gomez is opening up about self-confidence and strength while on shoot for her new Puma collaboration called ‘Strong Girl SGxPUMA.’
Selena tells Elle,“I think it’s important for girls to know the strength in everything, their identity and their soul, lies within themselves. And too much today you give that away so easily, from social media to school or relationships. And I think it’s important—I want to remind girls that they’re perfectly strong the way they are,”

Selena told the magazine, “I’ve always wanted to be a good example. Not because I’m not going to mess up—I f*ck up all the time. It’s more just that I want to be honest with them. I’m going to say: I’m trying the best I can and that’s what you can do too.”

The pieces from the collection were designed for working out (or not).  Selena explains, “I get really insecure sometimes, I go through weird ups and downs, but in general I just want people to wear what they feel comfortable in.  My assistant, she’ll wear workout clothes everyday. But she doesn’t work out. It’s just become a lifestyle, and she loves it. She loves how she feels and she loves how she wears it, and I mean, that’s what I want everybody to feel. She’s inspired me a lot too.”

 

And this my favourite part of the new collection – some of the lines garments will include secret tag lines on the inside and will have positive messages like, ‘Strong inside out.’  “I want to encourage women. I really would love to use my platform for good, and along the way have so much fun with movies and the music. I wouldn’t be able to do any of it if it weren’t for the people that supported me, and that kind of sounds like a cliché, but its true,”  says Selena.
