  Upcoming: PARKluxe 2016 At The National Music Centre

 

Autumn is a busy time of year for the fashion industry. As I’m packing again for fashion weeks in September, I never forget to show my support for fellow Canadian talents back home.

Promoting Artist Refining Kulture (PARK)’s annual elevated Canadian fashion designers showcase – PARKluxe – is one of the Canadian fashion events I would take time off from my busy schedule to attend.

The existence of PARKluxe has given a platform to more established Canadian fashion designers from the Prairie Provinces and west coast to promote their work. Not until we could find a way of support to unify Canada’s rather segmented fashion industry, I do believe currently PARK’s initiative could shed some light to fashion talents that are not from Toronto or Montreal, where majority of the focus is concentrated.

The upcoming PARKluxe will be held on October 1^st 2016 at the newly built Studio Bell National Music Centre. So far we know that this season will feature collections from both newcomer and returning labels, including Okakie, Paul Hardy, Lauren Bagliore, Malorie Urbanovitch, Year Of The Ram, and Atelier By Ensemble Style.

As like other PARK fashion shows, guests will find the opportunity to discover other local Canadian fashion brands and perhaps do a little pre-show shopping at the PARK Pop-Up Shops.

This year at PARKluxe 2016, a Platinum VIP tickets are available for purchase, an upgrade from VIP Tier I that includes exclusive intimate pre-show champagne tasting with food and music pairings. You can access to tickets information at http://www.ourparkonline.com/events/parkluxe/calgary/2016/.

Just before PARKluxe, for the first time on September 28^th 2016, The Canadian Arts & Fashion Awards (CAFA) from Toronto will be partnering with PARK to host FASHION CONNECTS event at the Fairmont Palliser. This event is an industry evening connecting fashion designers, influencers, retailers and media. It’s great to see when Canadian organizations from different regions of Canada are joining forces to make connections to support the Canadian fashion industry.

If you have nothing on your calendar yet on October 1^st, be sure to join me and say hi at PARKluxe. Looking forward to see everyone.
