ARTwear 2011

It's this time of the year when great events happening in Calgary and one of them is definitely the ARTwear - The Art Gallery of Calgary's annual Fall Fashion Fundraiser.

It was the 9th year when the event featured a runway show highlighting the season's must-have fashions both for women and men from Calgary's hottest boutiques ( Apt22, Mealan, Primitive, ChiChi Couture & Holly Allen Jewelry, She Lingerie, Supreme Men'sWear, Thomas Jeffery & Shoe Muse/Checkm8 Shoes) including featured designer,

who this year was Zenobia ( www.zenobia.ca).

The theme for designing the beautiful space at Hotel Arts was Paris and it looked spectacular thanks to the Basic Black Designs Inc.

Also, huge applause to DCV Events for help putting the event together and coordinate everything!!

But this event is not only about fashion show - before heading to Hotel Arts, VIP and invited guests had a chance to attend reception at The Art Gallery of Calgary where they enjoyed cocktails while watching Wearable Art Fashion Show featuring students' work from the Alberta College of Art&Design.

The fun continued after the show as all guests had a chance to bid on Silent Auction and Fashion Trunk Show packages donated by local businesses. I cannot forget to mention that all party-lovers danced to the great beats of one of local DJ and the rest of people could continue socializing :-)

CHANTAL KREVIAZUK & CANADA GOOSE AT HOLT RENFREW/CALGARY

On November 4th, 2011 at Holt Renfrew I had a chance to meet singer and songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk as she unveiled her design collaboration with Canada Goose - beautiful jacket - just perfect for upcoming winter - available exclusively at Holt.

It is important to mention that Canada Goose and Holt Renfrew - two iconic Canadian brands - have come together earlier this year to offer an incredible gift that gives back - a limited edition toque designed by Canada Goose. Its retail price is $50.00 and portion of the proceeds from the sale of each toque go to Polar Bears International which Chantal Kreviazuk became a spokesperson for!!!
