PARKSHOW 2012

I have posted about this event in the past and I am going to repeat myself again today because it really is an event you need to get your ticket too. It was a vintage inspired style show last season, now PARKSHOW is back for spring 2012 and I am excited to see what hits the stage this season. 

PARKSHOW 2012 is PARK's annual fundraising fashion show and art exhibition with all profits going towards hosting future events for the community!

They not only have the local models strutting the runway in local designer duds, but some incredibly talented artists decorating the walls. Arrive early to browse through the Art Exhibition at 7pm. Don't forget to support our local art community and purchase some art. What may only be a few hundred today could be an investment to what could be worth thousands soon enough. Calgary truly is oozing with talented artists.  What's in your art collection today? 

Now back to fashion, this year sounds so intriguing to hear that they have two start times listed for their fashion shows. At 9pm they have a "Contemporary + Fashion and Textile Design" Fashion show and at 10pm a "Women's Fall 2012 RTW" Fashion Show. 

I could list off all the 12 emerging designers and the 20 emerging artists today.. but I could also suggest you just get your tickets and see them in person yourself next week! When it comes to Fashion and Art it's always better in person! 

This event happens next week on Saturday, March 10, 2012 @ Palliser South Tower, 140 - 10 Avenue SE

FASHIONSIGN Magazine Launch Party

(No better time than now to get back into my blogging.) 


This Saturday is going to be one amazing party. Not only am I biased because I am the Executive Director for this Magazine, but I truly believe in what it is representing. 


FASHIONSIGN Magazine is the next empowering and creative online/print magazine that provides amazing and unique details, information and images about fashion, art, design, and photography. Focusing only on Calgary it aims to build a strong awareness of the amazing variety of talents that we have in this city and it's creative industries. Showing our readers from all over the country that Calgary is more than just an Oil & Gas town.

When Tessa Lerbekmo established the idea of FASHIONSIGN, just under a year ago, to where it is now, there has been quit the stir of excitement for this magazine and it’s targeted direction. FASHIONSIGN’s team of contributors was easily built and is now made up of 13 contributors including stylists, photographers, makeup artists, and more. Each team member volunteers their own creative skill and unique eye to which makes for an incredibly creatively inspiring team and magazine.
