Christopher Bates Studio is a flexible multi-use space for an established yet rising Canadian fashion designer. An office, showroom, fashion runway, and VIP event space all packed into 1000 sq. ft. - the Studio reveals a synergy of fashion and architecture; brand and design. Without a traditional storefront, the Studio relies a wow factor upon entry. All visitors enter right onto the glossy white runway with an oversized 3-dimensional logo wall forming the backdrop. The changing room is tucked “backstage". Shoppers try on clothes and take the stage, walk the catwalk, snap a selfie.
