- ALEESHA HARRIS GET IN THE GROOVE AT THE YOGA EXPO MAC SELENA COLLECTION SET TO HIT STORES

The gender-bending fashion movement continues with the latest collection from GUESS.

The company recently announced the launch of its His & Hers collection, which features gender neutral pieces such as denim, T-shirts, blazers and button-up shirts.

“In a world that is always evolving and testing out new trends, it is important that GUESS, the global lifestyle brand, remains part of these gender-neutral movements that have been rapidly expanding and taking the fashion industry by storm,” Victor Herrero, chief executive offi- cer of GUESS Inc., said in a news release. “Our newest launch, GUESS His & Hers, marks our very first gender-free offering.”

The collection aims to “blur the line” of fashion norms, according to Herrero by offering “premium staple pieces” for everyone.

Shoppers can expect to find boyfriend-style jeans, a bonded bomber jacket with a faux furlined hood, oversized coats and more in the release.

Items will be available in three sizes 1 (small), 2 (medium) and 3 (large), according to the release.

The GUESS His & Hers collection will be available in select GUESS stores and online at shop.GUESS.ca beginning Oct. 3. Vancouver yoga fans (read: everyone) are invited to get into the groove at the The Yoga Expo.

The inaugural Vancouver event is set to take place this weekend at the Vancouver Convention Centre (1055 Canada Pl.) and will feature top local and internatio­nal teachers including Shannon Cluff of Dharma Movement Company, Shivaji Wells of Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, Rachel Scott of Teachers College & Developmen­t at YYoga, Chrys- tal Pearl of West Coast Hot Yoga & Oxygen — as well as meditation experience­s, live music, a 50,000-square-foot marketplac­e and more.

The Yoga Expo was founded by Kyle Michaud and has travelled to several cities in the U.S. and Canada since it started in January.

“I started the Yoga Expo because I wanted to create a community where students and teachers have the opportunit­y to connect,” Michaud said in a news release.

“Students take classes with local and internatio­nal teachers, explore our yoga-themed marketplac­e and enjoy a day of mindfulnes­s.”

The event is slated to run from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $35 per day or $60 for the weekend, with ticket holders having unlimited access to the expo events including more

than 85 classes. To learn more, visit theyogaexp­o.org. The much-anticipate­d Selena collection from MAC Cosmetics is slated to hit stores next month.

The release, which is a nod to late Mexican-American singer Selena Quintanill­a, includes lipstick ($22), eyeshadows ($20.50 each), liquid eyeliner ($24), mascara ($21) and more, curated by the megastar’s sister and is said to be “inspired by the devotion of all those still touched by the iconic Latin legend,” according to a news release.

The Selena by MAC Cosmetics collection is available to shop Sept. 28 for MAC Select members before becoming available on maccosmeti­cs.ca on Oct. 1. The full collection is slated to land in stores on Oct. 6 through Nov. 17.
