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 1st 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 28th
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 1st, be sure to join me and say hi at
PARKluxe. Looking forward to see everyone.
