Is FP Movement Part of Free People?

FP Movement has exploded on social media over the past few years — bright colors, relaxed silhouettes, and an effortless “sporty-boho” mood.
But many shoppers still wonder: Is FP Movement actually part of Free People, or is it its own activewear brand?

As someone who works with activewear OEM factories and brand-development teams, here’s a clear, beginner-friendly explanation — plus insights for brands building a similar aesthetic.

Quick Answer

Yes — FP Movement is part of Free People.
It’s the activewear division of Free People, which itself is owned by URBN (the parent company behind Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters).

FP Movement operates with its own identity, fabrics, and fit philosophy, but still inherits Free People’s boho-luxe styling and lifestyle focus.

From my OEM experience, FP Movement is a great example of how a fashion brand can successfully create a standalone activewear category while keeping stylistic consistency.
