This time of year is not only about enjoying the last of summer and bringing your fall wardrobe in, but it's also about looking at upcoming fashion and new items hitting the runways at New York Fashion Week. Athleisure Mag presented its second annual Athleisure House NYFW SS18 with attendees in fashion, fitness, entertainment, influencers and media. We were pleased to unveil a project that our Co-Founders, Paul Farkas and Kimmie Smith have been working on - UG|RO Ugly Romper which is a line of rompers that are for the girl on the go whether she's running errands, heading to a game, a power lunch, meeting up with her friends for brunch and going out for a night out. Wherever she's going, she's bound to shine in these looks. This show had great support from our sponors: Makeup Pro, Aubrey Loots Wella Hair Professional, Kawaii Girl Cosmetics lashes, Qupid Shoes, Vera Bradley handbags and JBL headphones. Guests enjoyed Truly Sparkling, Icelandic Glacial, High Brew Coffee and Mochidoki while taking in a night on the rooftop of 50 Clinton (in the historic Lower East Side). ATHLEISURE MAG: What are the amenities offered at 50 Clinton St? 50 CLINTON: The building’s plentiful amenities include a landscaped rooftop offering residents a private outdoor retreat with 360 degree views of the Manhattan skyline and ample space for outdoor cooking, dining and lounging.

Blush Dreaming wi

ith Michael Costello

When it comes to jaw dropping dresses that are worn by your favorite celebs - Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Toni Braxton, Celine Dion and Paris Hilton - Michael Costello is the designer who creates stunning creations that give them an ethereal and sexy look. Michael is no stranger to Fashion Week; however, during this season's NYFW SS18, he had his first presentation which shared his line filled with diversity from skin tones, size and age. We took some time to talk with him as well as Michaela Polaco, Lead Makeup Artist for INGLOT to find out more about this show. ATHLEISURE MAG: We've been a fan of the brand for quite some time, what drew you to being a designer and ultimately creating draw dropping dresses? MICHAEL COSTELLO: My love for fashion, fabrics, silhouettes, but ultimately I always wanted to be a designer to create gowns that empower women, and highlight their beauty. AM: Who have been some of your favorite celebs to dress and who would you like to dress? MC: I've dressed Beyoncé, J Lo, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, among other beautiful celebs, and I would definitely love to dress Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry. AM: We love how social you are as your IG posts include phenomenal style as well as insight into your personality how essential is this to your brand? MC: I love sharing my creations, and my personality through social media. I wear multiple hats; I'm a dad, designer, a business owner and I think it’s important to share this with the world.

collection entices you with a dreamy escape from the monotony of the dayto-day, while accentuating our signature alluring, modern silhouette. AM: How important is diversity in fashion and why did you decide to focus on this in your show? MC: Diversity is very important in fashion. It’s not about creating a movement or an acceptance, its more about realization that all women come in all forms, shapes, and sizes and we at Michael Costello celebrate everyone equally. AM: What is the inspiration behind the makeup look for the SS18 show? MICHAELA POLACO: We’re converting the idea that glamour is something reserved for the elite. The inspiration comes from our desire to accentuate women’s natural features. We achieved this by creating very supple, fresh and radiant skin, an effortless, wearable yet sexy eye and a lip that looks stained from a glass of wine. The palette is ethereal yet evokes the thought, ‘I could pull that off.’ AM: Michael Castello's show is focusing on diversity and breaking barriers, how is this aligned with the ethos of Inglot? MP: INGLOT is one of the most diverse brands on the market. From our array of eyeshadows spanning the rainbow; to our complexion products made up of a variety of textures, finishes and shades that range from the lightest of the light to the deepest of the deep, with every skin type in between. I think that Michael’s vision is completely aligned and compatible with that of the INGLOT; making for a dynamic duo!

AM: What inspired you to create SS18?

AM: What is the beauty look of the show?

MC: S/S18 was inspired by the whimsy and romance of classic fairy tales. The

MP: The Look: · Skin: To create a dreamy effect on

the skin, I mixed INGLOT AMC Liquid Illuminator with INGLOT HD Corrective Primer as a base, so the skin radiates through the makeup look and lasts throughout the night. · Cheek: After the base was applied on the apple of the cheek, I applied INGLOT Sparkling Dust FEB #02 & #03 (frosted loose powder in light nude and bronze) to give skin a shimmery look accentuating each woman’s glow. · Eyes: I wanted to maintain the ethereal feel on the eyes, so I mixed INGLOT AMC Pure Pigment in #115, a holographic rose gold shade, with INGLOT Duraline – It’s a magic serum that turns powder products into cream or liquid. This created a long lasting, highshine metallic element that mimics a glossy lid, without the mess. · Lips: To finish the look, I applied INGLOT HoldOn Lip Primer, lined the lips with INGLOT Soft Precision Lipliner #56 and finished with INGLOT Sleeks Cream Lip Paint #91, a creamy, rosy long-wear paint with a glossy yet flat texture. AM: What are 4 must haves that people should have in their cosmetic bag from Inglot that allows them to get the look from the show, but can work well into their everyday routine? MP: INGLOT AMC Liquid Illuminator: Because a healthy glow is always necessary and you never know when your look will need a pick me up. This product was a major player in the Michael Costello looks. INGLOT Refreshing Face Mist: Also a pick me up for the skin, whether you're experiencing overheated skin and need a cool down or have dry skin that needs a drink of water. This was a key product used to keep skin looking supple and youthful at the Michael Costello show.

INGLOT Lash Enhancer Mascara: To create a full looking lash that's voluminous yet defined. INGLOT High Gloss Lip Oil: Infused with many nourishing oils to keep your lips soft and healthy, it adds a high shine that can be worn alone or on top of your favorite lip product to give an added kick. At the show, we also used it on top of models’ high planes of cheekbones for major skin. AM: What was your path to becoming a makeup artist? MP: Starting from the age of 16, I actually spent many years trying NOT to be a makeup artist, but one way or another I always found myself back in the industry. I worked at countless makeup counters, and spent many mornings up at the crack of dawn - Sometimes to do makeup for “Z list” celebrities, other times to work on brides that were featured in VOGUE. I started at INGLOT as a regular artist and three year later I’ve just finished keying Michael Costello's NYFW presentation. What I've learned is, never say no to an opportunity and always arrive ready with your game face on, because you never know who you'll meet or what jobs can lead to others. It’s a competitive industry that's always changing, so you have to prepared for everything and always be willing to step outside of your comfort zone. I love being a makeup artist and I’m so grateful I’ve ended up where I am supposed to be.

KETANGA FITNESS RETREATS Ketanga Fitness Retreats launched in 2014 and is founded by Stacy Schwartz, a born-and-raised Manhattanite. The dream of creating a career out of her love for seeing the world and keeping active was one that she could not have imagined. She began thinking about it when she tried to book a vacation a few years ago that also incorporated fitness (particularly boxing and high-intensity interval training); however, she was unable to find anything.

who are gym owners and independent trainers who have a vision of hosting a retreat for their clients, but don’t know where to start. Ketanga Fitness Retreats specialize in helping to bring their vision to life by handling the planning, organizing, and logistics behind a producing a fitness retreat. They also produce local fitness events and wellness workshops in NYC, builds corporate wellness programs, and organizes private group retreats.

A few years later in 2014, she quit her job in Corporate America to travel the world for 100 days by herself. Was it scary? Yes - but it was her best decision as she was able to travel the way she wanted and to see the sights while being active through bike tours, horseback riding, jogging through neighborhoods, dropping into local gym classes, and even flying a 2-person glider plane.

They offer custom retreat planning experiences, and work with private groups to create something special. Whether it is a birthday celebration, a bachelorette trip, a corporate retreat, or a girls getaway, they create experiences for clients that combine fitness, adventure, and relaxation in unique ways! For guests who join existing retreats (vs planning a custom retreat), there are itineraries that are expertly curated and customized for each program. Guests are always welcome to opt out of a workout or activity, and there is ample free time for guests to take part in different experiences and activities, or just relax and reflect on the beach!

Upon returning home, it clicked. There was something special about crafting a vacation that combined the perfect amount of fitness, adventure, and relaxation into one trip. It was at this point that Ketanga Fitness Retreats was born. Ketanga Fitness Retreats organizes fitness retreats around the world! They work with top trainers, studios, and gyms to plan custom experiences that combine fitness, adventure, and relaxation.

Ketanga organizes local events in NYC to bring the wellness community together! They host many special events including their famous Fitness Krawls (think of a pub crawl but with visiting fitness studios instead of bars!), Sunday Funday workouts, Muscles & Margaritas events, outdoor workouts, and more. These events are fun as they combine wellness and something social like a workout plus drinks or a wellness talk and brunch. It’s all about balance!

With a mission to make wellness travel accessible, varied, and fun, they curate small group fitness adventures that feature the best-of-the-best vetted instructors, unique activities, and a relaxed yet motivating atmosphere.

Over the past year, we have worked out utilizing the MELT Method which has a Performance Roller that has changed our approach to fitness! This method focuses on whole-body communication, rebalances the nervous system, rehydrates connective tissue and releases compression in joints.

The month of Aug and Sep are not just about summer frolicking - but the US Open comes to NYC with a number of events on and off the court to connect with your favorite tennis players who will be performing at Arthur Ashe Stadium as well as iconic greats who are still associated with the sport. We took some time to catch up with Agnieszka "Aga" Radwańska, who is ranked #11 to find out how she got into the sport, how she trains throughout the year, her personal style and of course, her partnership with Inglot Cosmetics which has an array of nail polishes that are a great way to showcase your style.

mini rackets. Once I realized I could be a good player, we started traveling in Europe and playing junior tournaments. When I won junior Wimbledon, I realized that I could make a good career in tennis. AM: What is it like to train for each match and what workouts do you do? AR: The tennis season is very long (11 months), so my main training block is usually in December. The focus can vary from strength, conditioning, aerobic and speed training. There can be a lot of interval training, weights and long runs. I prefer being on court than in the gym so we try to tie in a lot of the routines with some tennis drills. All my training is monitored with a heart monitor to measure performance and improvement. AM: What does the US Open mean to you and how have you been preparing for it? Sep 2017

AR: New York is one of the best cities in the world so the atmosphere is always electric. There is such a buzz. I have been preparing by playing warm-up events in Toronto, Cincinnati and New Haven. AM: What is your tennis style versus what you wear when you're going out with friends? AR: Lotto normally produces cool dresses for me to play tennis and I have some input in the design. When I go out with friends I like to mix things up, though typically a casual look - jeans, sneakers and a sweater or tee shirt. Polish winters can be pretty harsh so I like to layer. AM: Tell us about your partnership with Inglot and more about the line. AR: Our collaboration is a perfect fit as we both share the same values and outlook. We both share a heritage in Poland, but here we are together in Times

Square, NYC; looking to conquer the world. I have been a fan and consumer of their products for a long time so the collaboration is truly a great honor. I hope that the looks we have produced have a broad appeal and can be mixed with many outfits. AM: Why did you want to have a nail line and what can we expect in future collaborations with this brand in nails as a category or even other products that they offer? AR: Simply, I love nails. Anyone that knows me will tell you that I spend more time on my nails than anyone else I know. I even like to paint my nails before matches and tournaments – they are a part of my life on and off court. Stay tuned for more great color and looks.

September marked the first annual Goldie Awards DJ and Beats Battle in Brooklyn, NY. Presented by Fool's Gold, Thump, Noisey, TMWRK, and Serato - the night featured an array of promising beats and DJ artists from around the globe. The star-studded judges panel was stacked with Diplo, Just Blaze, DJ Craze, Destructo, Mija, The Whooligan and Mannie Fresh, who rooted on the artists with awe and strong community vibe. Dave East joined in with hosting duties for the evening breaking up the show with light and crisp banter, always with a brew in hand. The packed house cheered and bopped to beats, scratches and remixes as they filled the air for each battle. The battles were a good formula and the pulse was fresh through the show. The few moments of downtime between sets allowed for some drink breaks, audible digestion, and IG moments. A-Trak is right, all of the artists are winners in gaining some great exposure with the event. You never know who is watching and what next lies in store. Congrats to all artists that performed. The Beat Battle contestants were: Brace, City the Beatmaster, Fresh Kils, HOLLY, MSCLS, R!OT, STFU, and Young Sidechain. The DJ Battle contestants were: John Beez, K-Swizz, Kayper, Miles Medina, Rafik, Rocket Jackson, Vekked, and Yuto. The Goldie Awards bring good recognition and flavor to the industry truly cutting across genres. It is highly recommended for fans of various musical tastes. DJ’s don’t sleep on this – make sure you have your short demo submissions hashtagged and ready for next time.

WANDERLUST

er FOR WANDERLUST FESTIVAL

On any given day, there is a festival taking place and although the concept may convey images of DJs, rockbands etc - there are other gatherings that also exist in this category. We learned about Wanderlust a few months ago and finally caught up with the trio to find out about their wellness focused festivals that are four day weekend retreats filled with yoga, meditation, live music, speakers and outdoor activities as well as those that are single day mindful triathalons. These take place throughout the country and overseas to allow a series of people to come together as a means to become a like-minded tribe.

We found out more about these events, what's new this year and a quick snapshot of their growth. ATHLEISURE MAG: When did Wanderlust launch and who are the creators of this wellness festival? WANDERLUST: Wanderlust was founded in 2009 by three friends: Sean Hoess, Jeff Krasno and Schuyler Grant. AM: We know that Wanderlust has operated in a number of cities, are there cities that are new to you that will have festivals in 2017/2018 - will you be in NYC anytime

soon? Our NYC event happened just two weeks ago at Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. And we broke a Guinness World record at that event! AM: What takes place at Wanderlust? W: Wanderlust holds two different kinds of events—our multi-day festivals which are four-day weekend retreats combining yoga, meditation, live music, inspiring speakers and outdoor adventures for an entirely unique mindful getaway. And, our single-day “mindful triathlons” called the Wanderlust 108 which take place in public parks all over the world. The Wanderlust 108 includes a five-kilometer run (or walk), an outdoor 90-minute yoga class, and a guided meditation. New for 2017, participants can add a scheduled class such as aerial yoga, acro-yoga, hooping, walking meditation, photography or essential oils workshops, or a community yoga experience from favorite local teachers. At all Wanderlust 108 events, the Kula Marketplace will showcase local craft vendors, including clothing, jewelry, and handcrafted items. Local and organic food vendors will be on site, as well as a retail store and juice bar collaboration between Wanderlust and Adidas housed in a 60 foot, geodesic dome. AM: At the end of September, you will be in Tampa which was affected by Irma. How are you supporting the community and will there be any changes to the event because of the hurricane? W: It was important to us to be of service to the local community. It’s our intention at all our events to come together as a community to lift each other up, and we wanted to help who might be in need in the local Tampa area. $1.08 of each Wanderlust 108 Tampa ticket sold in 2017 will be donated to the Tampa Bay Disaster Relief and Recovery Fund. The Tampa Bay Disaster Relief and Recovery Fund (TBDisasterFund.org) is a strategic collaboration of the Community Foundation of Tampa Bay, Foundation for a Healthy St. Peters-

burg, Pinellas Community Foundation, United Way of Citrus County, United Way of Hernando, United Way of Pasco, and United Way Suncoast. This fund provides a trusted and reliable way to make tax-deductible donations to local storm recovery efforts. 100% of the funds collected through this effort will be directed to address immediate and mid- to long-term recovery needs through grants to select nonprofits. AM: How many times a year do you host these festivals? W: Wanderlust 108 first launched in New York’s Prospect Park and Atlanta’s Piedmont Park in 2014, bringing the mindful triathlon experience to over 10,000 participants. After this overwhelmingly positive response, Wanderlust 108 expanded to 17 cities in 2015, 32 cities in 2016 and now, to over 60 cities in 17 countries in 2017.

In this transformative and introspective process, Emily Nunn shares how she faced the loss of her brother's death, her break up with her fiancé and being evicted from her home. She finds her way back to herself through travel, homecooked meals and enjoying her circle of friends and family in The Comfort Food Diaries. This new journey was triggered by a few glasses of wine and sharing what was going on with her by sharing her thoughts on Facebook. The next day, she realizes that her friends and family are embracing and empathetic for what has happened to her and ask her to not only stay but cook with them. Ultimately, she embraces the thought of the Comfort Food Tour. This book takes you on Emily's journey as she puts her life back together with new experiences while revisiting old places and recipes that allow her to put things into perspective.

pear from the world of men? Everything starts when women go to sleep, they become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If you attempt to awaken them or if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed, the women become feral and spectacularly violent. But when they stay asleep, they go to another place of peace where conflict rarely takes place and harmony reigns. Only one woman, Eve Black is immune to this sleeping condition. This causes the all male community to wonder what they should do about her as they move towards violence. All of this takes place in a small Appalachian town whose primary employer is a women’s prison.

Something You Should Know

HOW's YOUR MOOD?

For those in NYC and in Miami, you may have noticed a number of Dr Smood's popping up. More then just an organic boutique cafe, it is a culinary destination that brings nutrient-rich super foods and beverages to a health conscious clientele. Whether you eat inside or enjoy a selection of grab-and-go sweet and savory treats, supplements or select from their coffee and juice bar in their Smood Market. Unlike most other food conscious eateries, Dr Smood spent three years of development of their nutrient-rich foods which enhance the performance of the body, mind and soul by a team of scientists, nutritionists and doctors. All products offered are color coded and are placed in one of 6 categories

including: Immuity, Energy, Health, Beauty, Detox and Power. They are all USDA-certified organic, kosher and made without GMOs, preservatives, dairy, chemicals, HPP, pesticides or refned sugar. "We're interested in the science behind food what's going on at a molecular level that will give our bodies what they need to feel, look and perform at their absolute best! We truly believe that food is the best medicine and we’re willing to go the extra mile to make sure that our food is the greatest in the world,” explained founder and Danish business developper René Sindlev, who is also known as the Co-Founder of Pandora Jewelry.

If you have questions about offerings, there are nutritionists and Smood Operators on-site to help customers select products that are tailored to their needs and interests to boost their health. Meals include the highest nutrients such as sandwiches made from Performance Bread (which helps to stablize blood sugar) and salads that are filled with bio-available protein and organic superfoods. An in-house alchemist ensures that products are crafted to not only taste good but to, "amplify nutrient absorption in the body by compounding elements to maximize nutritional value," says Dr Etti Ben-Zion, Partner in Dr Smood. "We pride ourselves on being

a truly science-baced health food company."

Dr Smood locations are meant to dine in as well as to work from the cafés. The eateries are uniuely designed by Quincoces-Dragò, that are inspired by old English Apothercaries. If you can't make your way there you can purchase online via their website as well as local delivery services such as Grubhub, Seamless, UberEats and Amazon Fresh.
