WOW! KDHamptons is so excited to announce that Claudia Lebenthal [above], founder and editor of STYLE OF SPORT, is our new contributing fitness editor! STYLE OF SPORT is a fantastic new website that celebrates the intersection of sports with fashion, design, art, culture and all things hip and cool. Claudia and I are longtime magazine pals, having worked together at Allure magazine for many years. Nobody knows ~ and lives ~ this category better than Claudia. Each week, Claudia will share insider stories on KDHamptons about sports & fitness, wellness, workouts, style, and more…

Want to know more about our resident fitness guru? Claudia served as a photography and creative director at a number of Conde Nast publications, including Allure, Womens Sports & Fitness, and Self. In 2006, she co-created and published Stoked: The Evolution of Action Sports, an award-winning multi-media large format photography book on the history of extreme sports.

It is Claudia’s passion that gives STYLE OF SPORT such a distinctive point of view. She shares with KDHamptons readers, “I have been actively involved in sports and fitness my entire life, as a high school and college athlete, and later a personal trainer. I’m a runner [with two NYC Marathons under my belt!], an avid skier and I love to stand-up paddleboard. I think I can tell you every pair of sneakers I ever owned from my first pair of blue Keds with a rubber toe to my newest white and black Nike Flyknit Trainers! I live the lifestyle and love the style of sport!”
