I consider myself something of a bathrobe connois-
seur. Over the years, I have probably owned north of
50 in every material imaginable, including Turkish
cotton, fleece, microplush, cotton waffle weave, sat-
in, flannel and silk (my least favourite, because I al-
ways feel like I’m sliding out of it). Until recently,
however, I had never owned one in linen. Now, it’s
the robe I reach for winter, spring, summer and fall.
It is also my go-to BYOR (Bring Your Own Robe)
when taking a trip. It’s lightweight, takes up no
space and, if it gets wrinkled, who cares? Linen is
always elegant, even when it’s covered in creases.

hen we consider the traditional
signs of aging, usually wrinkles
come to mind. However, Clarins
found that it’s actually radiance – or lack
thereof – that gives a person the appear-
ance of looking older than they are. “It was
amazing to discover that it was not a sign
of aging that appears as the main differ-
ence, but a lack of radiance, a lack of lumi-
nosity in the skin,” the brand’s scientific
communication director Marie-Hélène
Lair says. One of her priorities at Clarins is
to develop skin-care products specifically
for those older than 60, a demographic
that is largely ignored by the cosmetics in-
dustry.
As skin ages, Lair says it naturally tendsto become drier and duller due to natural
causes such as poor circulation, a reduced
quality of capillaries and fewer fibroblasts
delivering nutrients to the cells. This year,
the French company is tackling these is-
sues with the launch of four products in a
new line called Nutri-Lumière. Always
looking to nature for inspiration, Clarins
incorporated a star ingredient, horse
chestnut, using extracts from its flower
and fruit, along with 11 other plant ex-
tracts. The oil-infused formula is rich and
comforting on the skin without being
greasy.

T
echnical apparel brand Arc’teryx is named for theArchaeopteryx lithographica, the first reptile to devel-
op feathers to take flight. With the opening of its first lifestyle concept store, the brand is clearly
following suit. Located at the Metropolis at Metrotown shopping centre in Burnaby, B.C., this store
brings the largest selection of the company’s new lifestyle line to its home province, where it was founded
by local climbers in North Vancouver in 1989.
Inside the 2,000-square-foot shop, Arc’teryx’s 11th location in Canada, shoppers will find new fashion
and lifestyle pieces designed to reflect the brand’s signature minimalism and technical fabrications but
meant for more everyday types of environments. “We are experts in protecting you from the elements,
whether that be on top of a mountain or in a gnarly rainstorm commuting to work in the city,” says Megan
Cheesbrough, Arc’teryx’s vice-president of retail. “With our lifestyle line, we’re taking the same technical
materials and design concepts from our sport-specific performance apparel and using it to create everyday
solutions to enhance comfort and performance in urban environments.”
The interior design is open-concept and utilizes both raw and urban finishes, such as steel doors, basalt
wall tiles and a fir wood footwear display. Creating an open space fosters easy exploration of the Arc’teryx
offerings, Chessbrough says. “The store experience is designed to celebrate and highlight our lifestyle and
everyday product collections in a meaningful and relevant way – for both our most loyal brand fans and for
those that are perhaps just learning about who we are.”
