On April 25th at 7 pm, Physical Element (1124 NW Lovejoy) will be celebrating it’s 5th birthday and new direction. While it used to be the go-to place to buy hip, indie workout gear that transitioned easily to the street, the store has been gradually shifting its focus away from the gym and towards an international collection with designs by Cop.Copine, Moyuru, Deca, plus locals Renee Armstrong, Wendi Martin, Magalí Corzo, and ElizaBeth Rohloff. On the 25th, they’ll have a fashion showcase, plus a sneak peek at Fall ‘08 styles, with 10% off all purchases (including Fall pre-orders), plus some appetizers and champagne.
