By Heather Chapin Calgarians got a close-up look at high fashion last week. Parkluxe 2023 brought the runway to The Ampersand on Oct. 13 with Mode Models wearing the latest from Holt Renfrew, Greta Constantine, UNTTLD and Paul Hardy. This event celebrated the 15 year anniversary of PARK and the return of PARKLUXE since 2019. Event proceeds supported Dress For Success, a program to help women achieve economic independence by providing a network for support and professional attire, as well as developing the tools needed to thrive in work, and in life.
