Behind the design with Dawn Broadbent –

The concept for our sportswear was inspired by a personal experience of mine. At the time of the product's conception, I'd sprained my QL muscle - an injury I struggled with physically, but even more so mentally.
I felt restless and, in spite of my body telling me to ease off, I still tried to swim, work out, or move my body in any way it would allow. Of course, this was foolish and only exacerbated my injury.

When I finally took my foot off the gas and gave my body the rest it necessitated to recover, I tried to decipher what was really fuelling my need to exercise. Essentially, it wasn't actually the sport itself, but rather an intense craving for the post-sport endorphins. After all, there is no greater pleasure than the release of endorphins to the human brain. But that relentless craving for endorphins had actually turned into an unhealthy addiction, leading to overexercising and in turn, injury.

I feel this is an experience in which I'm not alone. It's perhaps one that many athletes who have experienced injury can relate to, which is what prompted me to make reference to it in my design. Essentially, there are many ways to keep the endorphins rolling - meditation, reading, sleeping, being in nature or connecting with loved ones. These too provide a dose of the 'happy drug', as it’s otherwise known, and can be effective coping mechanisms. Ultimately, sport is not a cure, it's just one assured way to elevate endorphins.
