Interested in fashion, music, food, and networking? For the second year in a row, the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra has teamed up with Holt Renfrew and various local businesses to bring you the chance to celebrate just that in their Fairytales & Legends Fashion Gala. Going off the CPO’s concert series of Fairytales for their 60th season, the fashion show at Devonian Gardens will feature a reception full of treats from Anejo, the National, Cilantro, Oil & Vinegar, and Hy’s Steakhouse (VIP only) and the entire event will feature live music performed by orchestra musicians. The Devonian Gardens will be the place to be in Calgary on November 6th from 8pm to 12am.
The fashion show will feature models from The Nobles Management as well as the CPO’s own associate conductor, Adam Johnson. Music for the show will also feature selections made or composed by this season’s concertmaster, Donovan Seidle. Wardrobe for the event will be provided by Holt Renfrew, so guests are guaranteed to have great seats to view the hottest fall/winter trends of 2015. This is made even more so by the talented styling team that will consist of the ladies over at the Stylistas. Tickets for the fashion and music event of the year start at $175 for general seating, and goes to $275 (limited number available) for front row VIP seating, as well as an exclusive reception starting at 7pm!
Former Fashion & Beauty editor Ailin and I had the chance to attend the equivalent of this year’s Fairytales & Legends Fashion Show last year, when the theme was Lock Into Paris. Needless to say, we had a blast enjoying the fashionable atmosphere, ambient music from CPO musicians as well as renowned pianist Samson Tsoy and delicious appetizers (featuring TONS of macarons of course). Read our posts on the event here (for the fashion show), and here (for music & atmosphere). I’m thrilled to be attending the event again this year with fellow editor Kandace. Keep an eye out after November 5th for posts about the show from the both of us, hope to see you there!
