PARKSHOW 2016: Miami Inspired

This weekend, fellow blogger Emily and I had the privilege to attend PARKSHOW 2016. If you haven’t yet read Emily’s post, PARKSHOW is a fashion and art showcase, set up but the non-profit organization, PARK (Promoting Artists | Redefining Kulture). This year, the showcase was Miami-inspired, meaning edgy beach-wear and a lot of amazing street art.

The murals and abstract works featured at PARKSHOW was absolutely amazing. My personal favourites were the mixed media pieces by David Brunner, shown below!

Unsurprisingly, the fashion part was unique and well executed. Each designer presented their own take on the Miami vibe, that fit perfectly together. Styles ranged from high-waisted bikinis to leather jackets with varied prints on the back, as well as retro pant suits. Every single piece was bold and accurately expressed the designers’ creativity and outlook. The models were also stunning and did an extraordinary job engaging the audience.

PARK is presenting PARKSALE throughout June, where they’ll be showcasing Canadian designers and artists at CF Chinook Centre. Definitely check out PARKSALE if you’re interested in getting a glimpse at all the things that PARK has to offer!
