Investment In Art – You Can Wear

When you purchase and wear this beautiful art, you quite literally become a walking canvas!

The wonderful thing about art, is that you get to interact with it in a way that gives it meaning for you. You may see yourself connecting with the intention of a certain piece, or associating with a positive affirmation, or interpreting a certain story and seeing it in your own life. Alternatively, you may even gravitate towards a certain colour scheme that just moves you.

The artistic creative process for each design is unique to that piece. Be Strong started as an ink illustration of an elephant adorned in jewels. Surrender started with black acrylic paint using a feather as a paintbrush. Gold Reach started as an acrylic pour painting that turned into a galaxy of colour ‘reaching for the stars.’ Secret Sky started with brilliant pink summer sunset images and finished off with a Rumi Quote about falling in love. Pablo Pineapple started with a pineapple illustration inspired by Pablo Picasso’s abstract style. Find the words on the art that you connect you, such as: I want to fly on wings like eagles; Trust the universe; It's time, love is coming your way; or I breathe, I relax and let life flow.

How Art Becomes Leggings

Depending on what the intention is behind a piece, the artist Kristina, chooses the medium to best suit the art: acrylic paint on canvas, watercolour on mixed media paper, or black line art illustrations, to name a few. Once the art is complete, it is scanned into the computer, and the 2D creation process starts to take place. Working with InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator, 2D compilations can sometimes include up to 30 or more complex layers in one file. That final image is output at the highest resolution. A 3D rendering software is then used to accurately place and guide the art on the leggings. The final rendered 3D mockup is what you see online when you purchase the product.

Each design takes a considerable amount of time to conceptualize and create; and sees numerous renditions before it is finally complete and available for purchase. There are countless small details that you truly discover once you have the product in your hands. Wouldn’t you want be wearing something that has this care, time and perfection put into it?

Fluid Designs – No Repeating or Mirrored Patterns

Unlike traditional athletic wear in which patterns are printed in thousands of metres before being cut and sewn, our leggings and capris are hand made in Canada, one at a time! With our new sublimation printing capabilities, we have moved away from the need of simple repeating patterns or prints and instead have fluid designs flowing from one leg to the other. There are no harsh borders or restrictions.

Because we make our leggings and capris on-demand, we don’t need to create large amounts of fabric OR create excess inventory/stock, which would potentially end up in a landfill. The small bits of fabric waste we do have, actually gets upcycled into pillow stuffing to further our stance of eco-friendly choices.

Instead of working with limiting patterns, we have a huge advantage with our unique process and technology. We go one step further than we need to and actually create an entirely separate graphic files/designs for: a) the left leg, b) the right leg, and c) the waistband. We never do any mirror printing on any design. (Mirror printing is simply a copy/paste/mirror function in a program, in which in the case of other brands can sometimes lead to ‘odd’ flower patterns in ‘odd’ places. No thank you!) We want you to feel beautiful and confident in all of our designs, all of the time.

Precisely Designed FOR Your Body

We precisely decide where every line, brushstroke, and colour will appear on the final product! We decide which part of the art appears on the calf, the knee, and the bum, for example.

This process provides great flexibility and opportunity because perfectly placed designs create visual illusions to compliment your body. We know how to subtly accentuate long legs with perfectly placed diagonal lines on the thighs. We know hot to create a more slimming tummy by using washes of angled colours on the high waistband.

With Kristina’s decade and a half designing experience, it is hard to beat this exceptional combination of art and functionality! Because the left leg, right leg and waistband compositions are so individual, yet complete as a whole, this is in part why our leggings and capris are so very unique and captivating.

Vibrant Colours Withstand Washing

Using special eco-friendly dye sublimation inks give us an incredible range of colours to work with. Our colour specialists are able to accurately simulate the original colour of the original artwork. We print the 2D mapped out art using heat which transfers the vibrant dye onto our white EcoPoly fabric. Once you receive your leggings or capris, you get to experience the exceptional details in literally every inch of the fabric.

This unique dye-sublimation process also has 100% colour fastness. This means that your leggings and capris will never fade even after years of washing and drying.
