An LA based athleisure brand, wolven | threads,  featuring yoga wear, swimwear, and accessories, will show at SHAPE for the first time. "Participating in SHAPE will allow for us to connect to buyers on a personal level," said Kiran Jade, Designer & Founder. "We are excited to have the opportunity to introduce our brand to buyers in person at SHAPE, and that we get to highlight our core values of sustainability and creativity to athleisure buyers."

In addition to wolven | threads, other exhibitors include organic activewear brand LVR Fashion; eco-friendly yogawear by Balini Sports; men's yoga apparel brand Bhujang Style; Electrix, LA-based activewear brand that uses recycled fabrics; activewear accessory brand Hip Appeal; sports bras by SWINN; handmade intimate apparel, cantiqLA; eco-activewear brand Cozy Orange; and more.

"We are looking forward to returning and meeting new buyers from boutiques and chain/department stores," says Dalma Pszotka of Cozy Orange. "As a new and growing company, we are mainly looking for new business at the show and hoping to see the variety of buyers who visit the CMC during LA Fashion Market. At SHAPE, we are able to get in front of the fashion/boutique audience, which is great since activewear is now part of everyday fashion."

SHAPE Tradeshow will take place Monday-Wednesday, June 8-10 at the CMC for the Fall 15 season.
