In celebration of Beyonce’s RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR’s two-night residency at Toronto’s Rogers Centre – Holt Renfrew, Canada’s top fashion and lifestyle retailer, will welcome the ‘RENAISSANCE FLAGSHIP’ to the third floor of its iconic Bloor Street location.
Sebastian Picardo, President & CEO of Holt Renfrew, commented, “We at Holt Renfrew are thrilled and honoured to be the home to the RENAISSANCE FLAGSHIP in Toronto. At Holts, we stand behind empowering self-expression and igniting positive change, and we truly believe that the RENAISSANCE FLAGSHIP is an incomparable Illustration of this spirit. We can’t wait to welcome all to this unforgettable experience in partnership with one of the greatest icons in entertainment.”
Beyonce x Balmain
First conceived in London, the RENAISSANCE FLAGSHIP is an immersive installation produced by Parkwood Entertainment that celebrates the fashion of the RENAISSANCE album, era and tour. Also available is the RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR Art Book, an 80-page self-published work with exclusive imagery. The installation includes an exhibition of RENAISSANCE COUTURE by Beyonce x Balmain.
For the first time in North America, a selection of couture looks from the historic collection, co-designed by Beyonce and Olivier Rousteing, will be on display in the flagship. Inspired by tracks from the Act i: RENAISSANCE album, the exhibition, within Holt Renfrew, will be the first time these exceptional pieces have been seen publicly in North America.
The collaboration, unveiled in March by French Vogue, marks the first time a Black woman has overseen the couture offering from a historic Parisian house. Accompanying the exhibition is a four-piece, limited-edition product extension titled RENAISSANCE: Beyonce with Balmain.
The range draws inspiration from the couture pieces on display at Holt Renfrew and includes two oversized tees, a dropped-shoulder hoodie and a giant tote emblazoned with the collection’s moniker.
Visit the installation in Toronto from July 5 to July 11, 2023.
