There is nothing more satisfying than finishing a successful workout and feeling that surge of endorphins. But after exercising, exhaustion and soreness can set in, preventing you from keeping that fitness streak going with another workout tomorrow.
Without properly recovering after exercise, your body can suffer a great deal of damage. Never fear! There are simple remedies that you can practice post workout to ensure replenishment, revitalization and recovery.
On Tuesday, October 4, Quebec's top designers descended on Toronto’s west end to offer the city’s fashion set a glimpse of the visions and creative processes behind their Fall/Winter 2016 and Spring/Summer 2017 collections. Bilingual media personality and fashion ambassador Glen Baxter hosts the four-day pop-up shop, starting with a by-invitation-only VIP launch reception on Tuesday, October 4 where distinguished fashion media, celebrities, personalities, bloggers, influencers, and buyers will meet the designers in person to preview their Spring/Summer 2017 collections and shop from their current Autumn/Winter 2016 collections before the event opens to the public.
Quebec-based designers also presenting their collections will include original jewellery for the independent-spirited woman from Anne-Marie Chagnon; environmentally conscious high-end leather goods from By Kilani; Eläma, a line of sophisticated fashion-forward fur and outerwear pieces recently featured on Dragon’s Den; timeless fashion with a modern touch fromLAMARQUE; ready-to-wear pieces from Les Poupounes de Luxe who are setting a new standard with their clothing for women of all sizes; Louve Montreal's assertive minimalist handcrafted jewellery; avant-garde unisex designs by Pedram Karimi; elegant cocktail dresses and gowns from Rush Couture; Wallo’s sleek designs and colourful printed womenswear; genderless apparel from the creative design team from WRKDEPT; and bold, edgy menswear from Xian. Toronto is represented by refined and trendy womenswear from Amanda Maria; Cara Cheung's high fashion luxury with urban street style clothing for women; and elegant evening and modern sportswear from menswear designer Christopher Bates.
The Cabinet Éphémère is a new kind of pop-up boutique that offers a privileged foray, a confidential glance at the creative process of fashion designers. In a trunk show atmosphere, both eclectic and organized, these architects of objects without boundaries propose their collections to the public. The main objective is to bring together, in one venue, designers with a similar creative approach and vision and the product originality and quality that draw consumer attention. It's a most inventive answer to the standardized and commonplace mass-market clothes boutiques. The concept is simple and, today, we have proof it is effective.
