PARKSHOW 2011 - THE FASHIONABLE EVENT



This year brought another well-done fashion event in Calgary: Parkshow 2011. The idea behind Parkshow is to create a semi-annual fashion, music and art show that will support Parksale- an annual market where local artists and vendors can showcase and sell their work. For those who don't know , PARK stands for "Promoting Artists, Redefining Kulture". It is a network organized by a group of young Calgarians to promote and support emerging artists in the community.

Parkshow Spring 2011 took place in Arrata Opera Centre which was beautifully transformed into a perfect place for a fashion runway. The show opened with a great performance by a talented woman who brought the style of vintage dance alive. This was followed by a fashion show featuring the designs of Chantel Traub, Apiana Que, NRT Designs, Emogene Couture, KARA, as well as Soul Apparel, MaNoKin Design and Alecyn Lea.

Models from Sophia Models looked beautiful thanks to the great work of Hedkandi Salon and makeup artists from Smashbox. After the runway show, everyone still had a chance to extend the experience of this fashionable night by partying with great live DJ sounds. It was definitely a remarkable night!!!!

CHANEL ROUGE COCO-NEW LIPSTICK COLLECTION AT THE BAY!!!


Chanel is determined to introduce lipstick to a generation of girls raised on lip gloss. And the French beauty company plans to do this with a new hydrating and long-lasting lipstick collection called “Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Lip Colour.” It’s a major launch for the brand.

“Women seem to have forgotten how to apply lipstick,” said Peter Philips, Chanel’s global creative director for makeup to WWD recently. “We have a whole generation of lip gloss girls. I want to make lipstick as easy to apply as lip gloss, and for a long-lasting formula to feel comfortable on the lips.” The top-secret formula was designed to condition and soften lips. He told WWD that Rouge Coco will become one of Chanel’s lipstick pillars.

The 30 shades in the extensive collection is broken down into four shade families: neutral-browns, violet-berries, red-corals, and rose-pinks. Each retails for $38 and named after some aspect of Coco Chanel’s life.

The Bay will have a four week preview of the collection before it rolls out to all Chanel counters on March 15th. Can't wait!!!!!
