Slimwalk’s compression leggings promise to ease aches and enhance muscle recovery
Did you know, you can save yourself some major aches and pains simply by donning compression socks during your workouts? Slimwalk, Japan’s leading compression stocking brand, believes that their doctor-endorsed range of products can target muscle recovery for gym-goers in addition to health and beauty benefits.
As one of the fastest walkers in the world, according to a survey by Slimwalk, Singaporeans spend more time walking than we think. And this includes office workers who take public transport, and most of us who probably move in and out of the office throughout the entire day. Such lifestyle factors can lead to long-term issues in our legs and feet, including swelling, pain, and fatigue. And it certainly doesn’t help when ladies squeeze our feet into high heels. According to Slimwalk, continuous wear of the compression leggings may result in slimmer legs thanks to its technology that helps edema – a big pain point for most women suffering from water retention.

In celebration of the Givenchy store re-opening at Paragon Shopping Centre, Thai actor and singer Hirunkit Chankham, more widely known as Nani, and Thai actress Chanikarn Tangabodi, more widely known as Prim, graced the re-opening evening cocktail event on 7 September.
The 271 sqm flagship is the perfect showcase of the brand’s new cutting-edge aesthetics. It appears as an evolution of Givenchy’s concept store, which epitomizes the identity of the House as a new mix between Matthew M. Williams' new era and Givenchy's DNA – a mixture of urban, dualism, and renewed classicism.
In this setting, architecture, sculpture, design, luxury, music, art, culture, and people come together to celebrate Artistic Director Matthew M. Williams’ vision for the House. Taking a cue from Matthew’s vision, a completely new concept is established.
The store has a wide line-up of both menswear and womenswear and some of the iconic pieces we spotted there are the Voyou bags, Shark Lock boots and the G-Tote.
Watch the video of Nani and Prim below.
