(Cover) - EN Star Style - Hilary Swanks clothing line will be inspired by her athletic background.

The 36-year-old actress is celebrated for her outstanding roles in movies such as Boys Don't Cry and Million Dollar Baby, although it is less well known that she used to compete in gymnastic competitions.

Hilary is usually seen looking chic in designer robes and Christian Louboutin heels on the red carpet, and the gorgeous star is now hoping to combine her sporting credentials with her love for fashion to create an athletic clothing line.

Hilary has been collaborating with DMA Designers Management Agency to come up with a sports-influenced concept, reports WWD.

The co-founder of DMA Marc Beckman explained how Hilary was initially keen to create a T-shirt that provided motivation and inspiration, and the idea grew into creating a sports-themed line.

Our platform is a contemporary, outdoor, athleisure brand, he explained.

It is believed Hilary and the agency are interviewing fashion designers to collaborate on the collection. (C) Cover Media
