PARKSHOW 2016 presented by CF Chinook Centre


PARKSHOW 2016, will be taking place in CF Chinook Centre on May 27th and 28th. This year, PARKSHOW will have two distinct programs, where each is influenced by a piece of imagery of Miami, Florida. The inspiration came from the PARK team’s recent photo shoot at Miami, pulling influences from their urban core, architecture and street culture. 

The first night on the 27th, the theme came from the colorful Wynwood District street art. Eight designers will be presenting fresh progressive collections from eight labels including: KATE HEWKO (Calgary), LENARD TAYLOR (Winnipeg), SEED YOGA (Cochrane), HONUBELLE (Calgary), MADAM WOLF (Calgary), SUKA CLOTHING (Edmonton), VANDAL (Toronto), and BANO EEMEE (Calgary).

The second night on the 28th features designs that will bring the audience to retro Miami art deco, a south Florida get-away exploring the light, colour and shapes. The Saturday showcase includes CARA CHEUNG (Toronto), HOUSE OF NONIE (Calgary), ANNEKE FORBES (Calgary), BARCLAY CLOTHING (Bragg Creek), VANDAL (Toronto), MALIKA COUTURE (Calgary), REBECCA KING (Saskatoon), S.P. BADU (Calgary), and ANNE B. ACCESSORIES (Calgary).

Following PARKSHOW 2016, in support of the local artists CF Chinook Centre x PARK will be hosting a pop up shop (PARKSHOP) for the first three weekends in June. In the pop up space, you’ll find a curated collection of Canadian art, fashion, and accessories.

Prada presents PradaVision


Prada presents PradaVision, a short term, site specific installation at the Prada Broadway Epicenter in New York City. The installation includes 50 video monitors installed on the iconic zebra wood ‘bleachers’ in the center of the space, a special visual intervention on the North wall, and a display of several runway looks from the Prada FW16 women’s and men’s collections recently shown in Milan. The monitors display dynamic video content drawn from the spectacular fashion shows, backstage footage, and other collection-related content representing multiple visions including Willy Vanderperre, AMO, and 2x4. The existing Epicenter wallpaper features original images derived from the drawings exclusively created by Christophe Chemin for the Prada FW16 collections.

The PradaVision installation, wallpaper, and video content was designed by Prada in collaboration with 2x4 New York City. The installation will be open daily from 10am - 7pm through May 8, 2016.
