"It's a growing market,

Cheung, Fashion Co-
ordinator for, Adidas.
Canada. Marilyn knows:_she
travels the world in search of
the fabrics and colours that
not only suit the Canadian
"activist" but also conform
to the international Adidas
“look".
"This' year, you'll see a
return to the traditional
track suit," says the
Sheridan College graduate,
one of the new breed of Cana-
dian designers designing for
Canadians. "A lot of our
designs will be fleeced..."

"For men, the colours will
be conservative — blacks

"For women, we'll be
showing a lot of what I call
`deep pastels', pink, yellow,
turquoise and jade — in addi-

Now, the question a lot of
people will ask is this: "Why

to look good, you'll also get
the benefits of clothing

the activity you have under-

That is to say, Ms. Cheung
knows how you move when
you swim. Thus, her designs
let you move to the fullest
when you swim. She knows
that you will be dipping into
the ocean or diving into the
pool, so she chooses fabrics
that will survive!
Buy activewear, and you
are investing in garments
that "understand" the ac-
