Alps & Meters: Luxury Alpine Sportswear

When a vintage ski jacket in a Swedish mountain town caught the eye of Louis Joseph, he knew he had found his calling. An avid alpine and telemark skier since the age of five, Joseph adored the knitwear jacket for its nostalgic features, which set it apart from the abundance of Gore-Tex ski apparel on the market. Deciding he could keep the garment’s timeless design but improve on its functionality, he started making plans for a premium alpine sportswear line, gathering anecdotes and feedback about classic ski wear and mountain lifestyles from around the world. Ten years later, Alps & Meters was borne.

This second collection for the holidays see iconic models revamped with new materials, colorways and the addition of temperature regulating Dri-Freeze technology.

York Athletic

YORK is blazing a new trail in the health and fitness space by promoting both mental and physical health, believing that a fighting mindset strengthens the pursuit of living a more fulfilling and healthy life. As some of the most conditioned athletes in the world, YORK manifests this through the lens of boxers whose training rigorously combines strength, speed, stamina, balance and mental conditioning. Even if you’re not a boxer, YORK inspires you to train like a fighter.

Truly valuing individuality, creativity and a fighting spirit, YORK footwear and accessories are minimally designed for maximum performance, empowering the wearer to create intention and carve out their own unique path in life. With their signature training shoe, The Henry, YORK has gained a strong following within the fighting fitness community, as well as with trainers and everyday gym goers.

All leaders in their field, they understand the impact health and fitness have on ones mind as well as ones body, and reinforce the brand’s honoring of the fighting spirit in all of us.

YORK’s Holiday Collection presents their iconic silhouette, The Henry, in six new materials and colorways available across the classic and mid-top models, all emboldened with the addition of Dry-Freeze technology. Built into the sock liner or insole, this innovation provides exceptional breathability and moisture control to keep your feet comfortable and refreshed so you can continue to turn up your workout even when temperatures rise. These lightweight, breathable and highly responsive trainers ensure that your performance is only as limited as your drive.

Further fueling their product evolution and refinement is the growing community that shares their stories and insights through YORK’s online Out of Step journal, presenting unapologetic perspectives that range from the motivating and inspiring to the educational and entertaining. Rather than a specific sport uniting this community of movement mavericks, it is a shared mindset focused on the mental and physical disciplines of healthy balance.

Coinciding with the collection release is YORK’s announcement of their partnership with public relations agency VOCAL, the New York City-based PR and marketing firm increasingly focusing on technology, sports and fitness. Aside from taking the lead on all brand communications, from the digital conversation to brand ambassador programming, VOCAL will also help guide this fast-growing #OutOfStep audience and ensure that the YORK message is carried to all who choose a more informed path to personal performance.

Introducing: Vyayama

Balancing style and sustainability, Vyayama is a new lifestyle brand that brings the energies of the natural world into reimagined everyday products for the body, mind and home. Launching today as the first in a program of releases: a limited yoga wear line for the empowered female that brings a new understanding of mindful luxury to performance apparel, complimenting custom-made natural fabrics with unique, contemporary design to translate the essence of yoga into refined and effortless style.  

BRINGING BEAUTY TO THE MOVEMENT OF LIFE

Vyayama Launches Lifestyle Brand with Conscious Yoga Wear Collection That Aligns Practice and Style.

Balancing style and sustainability, Vyayama is a new lifestyle brand that brings the energies of the natural world into reimagined everyday products for the body, mind and home. Launching today as the first in a program of releases: a limited yoga wear line for the empowered female that brings a new understanding of mindful luxury to performance apparel, complimenting custom-made natural fabrics with unique, contemporary design to translate the essence of yoga into refined and effortless style.   

Within the fast-paced lifestyle of New York City, Vyamama (pronounced “vai-ah-mah”) was born from a collective of young professionals that find balance in yoga but felt a lack of harmony between the mindfulness of their practice and available apparel. Just as yoga draws upon natural energy to renew mind, body and spirit, Vyamama yoga wear is constructed from natural fibers that are kind to both skin and soul. Carefully selected fabrics from Europe’s premiere toxin-free producers create a conscious collection that aligns with your practice and commitment to your intention. 

Paragraph on pieces – please provide list of key items, along with detailing and noteworthy talking points. This should push the style aspect of the clothing, with mention of fabrics.

More than simply a pursuit of fitness and wellbeing, yoga elevates personal perspective and performance. With this understanding contributing to the Vyamama philosophy, their new collection of conscious yoga wear brings the fulfilling balance of practice to the wardrobe and sets the scene for their comprehensive lifestyle collections to come.

Vyayama is available through their online community portal and at select retailers worldwide. For more information visit Vyayama.com.

Microsoft Installation at Moogfest

Opening May 19, Realiti - Inside the Music of Grimes is an interactive installation, powered by Microsoft Kinect technology, that allows participants a chance to go inside the music of Canadian electronic musician and producer Claire Boucher (a.k.a. Grimes). The installation will run from May 19-22 at Moogfest, an annual music, art and technology festival inspired by the late inventor of the Moog synthesizer, Robert Moog.

The Microsoft Powered Installation Realiti - Inside the Music of Grimes Opens to Festival Goers at Moogfest 2016

 

Opening May 19, Realiti - Inside the Music of Grimes is an interactive installation, powered by Microsoft Kinect technology, that allows participants a chance to go inside the music of Canadian electronic musician and producer Claire Boucher (a.k.a. Grimes). The installation will run from May 19-22 at Moogfest, an annual music, art and technology festival inspired by the late inventor of the Moog synthesizer, Robert Moog.

Grimes is one of the artists headlining Moogfest, a destination for artists, musicians, inventors, designers, and entrepreneurs.

Microsoft x Grimes Installation, Moogfest

The immersive installation will feature the track Realiti from Grimes’ fourth album Art Angels. Microsoft’s Kinect technology will allow festivalgoers and fans to manipulate the music as they physically interact with the environment. The innovative hardware recognizes and tracks each interaction with the installation, translating data into unique sounds and visuals. The result is a dynamic and immersive environment that blurs the line between creator and audience.

Amy Sorokas, Director of Brand Partnerships at Microsoft Brand Studios stated "Moogfest is a destination for innovative creators to share new ideas, so it felt natural to bring Realiti - Inside the Music of Grimes to the festival. With this installation we're exploring the unexpected ways that technology can enhance the music experience and are hoping to inspire the community with their future endeavors." 

The first project to use the installation’s system was DELQA, an installation at the New Museum in New York City that invited the audience to participate in a collaborative experience by going inside the music of critically acclaimed artist and producer Matthew Dear.

Realiti - Inside the Music of Grimes will be the latest artist collaboration featured as part of the Music x Tech program. Curated by Microsoft, Music x Technology is an initiative that celebrates forward-thinking artists who are using Microsoft technology to transform the way we create and experience music. With monthly artist collaborations, the program seeks to empower artists with unique opportunities to create one-of-a-kind experiences for their fans.
