i am finally sitting down to get through the images i worked on while on my latest trip to calgary, first up, and long overdue, is the park show images from the event held at the aerospace museum in the cities north east. the girls outdo themselves, as usual, with this stellar venue, every time taking the audience on a journey beyond fashion, exploring the possibilities of our own backyard. first were cars (at the mercedes benz hyatt auto gallery), now planes. with this track record the only thing left is going into space. the designers at this years park show also aimed to please, park show, in it’s infancy was a place for up and coming designers to showcase their talents and present their work to potential local buyers, as the organization grew and park luxe was introduced we have all had the honor to experience calgary’s full fashion ambition, park show is catching up, not only in talent but also extending it’s reach to the rest of the province. nicole campre closing the show this year, familiar with the park runway but aiming at lowering her price points by far raised the bar for the presentation of any future events. i hope to see more of edmonton represented through park as time goes on, i can think of a few amazing designers who need to make their way down to see us very soon. along with park’s usual suspects we were treated to a pre-show interactive wearable art presentation, breaking up the actual fashion show and some of the local favorites with smaller collections. the photographers got a little confused (despite a briefing from those in charge) and some early chaos ensued, but in the end it’s all in the family. make sure to visit my facebook page for more photos from the event as well as visit gar&mann and binzento for their coverage. xoxo
