Refinery29’s multi-sensory playground ย 29Rooms returned to New York Fashion Week.
Fashion Week is known for runway shows and presentations, high-profile events, and exclusive after parties but that’s not all the busy week has to offer. ย As art is an essential part of fashion it’s no wonder, attending the latest art events have become increasingly popular amongst fashion week goers. ย Refinery29 is right on board with this growing trend. The Digital media leader created an interactive art exhibition that doubles as a funhouse for adults. ย 29Rooms is held biannual during the #nyfw seasons. ย The event fuses fashion, style, culture, music, and technology through art. ย This season marked its 3rd installment. ย Tickets were up for purchase and sold out shortly after going on sale.
The theme behind this year’s event was “Turn It Into Art”. ย This theme celebrated the power of creativity in its ability to transform social issues into art and drive positive change. ย 29Rooms was created in collaboration with global artists and visionaries including:ย Jake Gyllenhaal, Jill Soloway’s Topple, Emma Roberts & her Belletrist book community, Sasheer Zamata, Chloe x Halle, Cleo Wade, Alexa Meade, Lizzo, Maisie Cousins, Juno Calypso, Madame Gandhi, The Art of Elysium, and Womenโs March, as well as brand partnerships with: Aldo, Clarins, Dunkin Donuts, Dyson, Juicy Couture Fragrance, Ulta Beauty, and Cadillac x Jason Wu.
29Rooms is not just your most instagramable moment at the hottest art event, well it is that plus so much more. ย 29Rooms is a truly immense full experience which engulfs you into a whirlwind of emotions and ignites all of your senses.
Inspirational, Thought Provoking, Therapeutic, Encouraging, Healing, Empowering – This is 29Rooms.ย
