West Coast Workout
Lexi Soukoreff started out hand-dyeing garments in her Vancouver studio . Her company , Daub + Design , has grown dramatically from those humble roots , but she still hand-dyes her original designs first . Then they ’ re photographed , and a computer program creates a large-scale repeat pattern , ensuring each resulting garment is unique . And each one is made in Canada . Soukoreff ’ s newest line , Daub | Active ( pictured ), is printed on luxurious Italian fabrics designed specifically for working out , meaning you can look and feel great while exercising . Find the new line at Semperviva Yoga ( page 42 ) and Barre Fitness ( page 42 ).
