From art to fashion, it’s never a dull moment at Haiku Studios 2.0

Summer is the best time to get together and celebrate almost anything in the gorgeous sunshine in this beautiful city we are so lucky to call home! Haiku Studios is happy to announce two, not to be missed events this month!

On Thursday July 26th, we are hosting an industry night with all the who’s who in the media, fashion, blog, and  stylist industries. We are celebrating the coming together of an amazing crew of designers which make up Haiku Studios. We have been hard at work making a wonderful place to shop, meet friends and show off each others unique wears! After getting all the kinks out in our first couple weeks of business, we are ready to strut our stuff for all those who live, breathe and write about fashion! There will be goodie bags, drinks from Cariboo Brewing, music and a room full of people who just might blow your mind.

Secondly, this July 28th, Saturday night at 7pm, Haiku is hosting an art and fashion collaboration by Leigh Righton and Kim Cathers. This being the dynamic duo’s second annual collaboration simply means they are looking to out do the last gathering which was a major success. Haiku Studios will for one night, be transformed into a world of embodiment…. We don’t want to spoil the suprize so we won’t tell you much except this will be place to be Saturday the 28th! New works from both Righton and Cathers that have never been seen before should be the first reason to attend, if not the cheap drinks, the fashion show and maybe an unexpected suprize or two….
