We had the good fortune of connecting with Mariana Pino-chaluja and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mariana, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
The Vision Behind All the Vibes

The creation of All the Vibes, an athleisure wear company specifically for women, stemmed from a blend of personal passion and market insight. Observing the athleisure market, it became clear that many existing options lacked the functionality and comfort women truly needed. This realization highlighted a significant gap and inspired me to launch a brand that could address these shortcomings.

My dual passion for fashion and fitness was central to the concept. I envisioned athleisure wear that went beyond aesthetics, offering both style and performance. The goal was to create clothing that supports women during various activities, from intense workouts to everyday errands, ensuring both comfort and practicality.

A critical focus of All the Vibes is meeting women’s specific needs. By concentrating on this demographic, I aimed to design versatile, high-performance apparel that fits diverse body types and lifestyles. Additionally, sustainability and inclusivity were key considerations. Using eco-friendly materials and offering a range of sizes reflects a commitment to both environmental responsibility and a broader representation within the fashion industry.

Building a brand with a positive, empowering message was also essential. “All the Vibes” represents more than just clothing; it embodies a lifestyle of confidence and empowerment. This ethos is intended to foster a supportive community where women feel inspired to achieve their best.

In summary, All the Vibes was conceived from a thoughtful analysis of market needs, personal enthusiasm, and a dedication to creating functional, inclusive, and sustainable athleisure wear. The brand aims to empower women, offering both style and substance for every aspect of their lives.
