I've known Kara since the late 90's when she was a dance student of mine and I have since had the pleasure of watching her mature into a one of a kind trendsetter, fashion designer and style icon! Her work with PARK is so inspiring and important to local culture as she has built up and showcased our world class designers and artists. Every time we've worked together she's challenged me to get out of my comfort zone and take my personal style to the next level.  It's an honour to have seen Kara transform from a student, to friend and now a role model and mentor of mine within the arts community. Congrats Kara!

I have had the pleasure of working with Kara Chomistek and PARK on various projects over the years.  We appreciate the expertise Kara and her team bring to styling our photo and video shoots.  They invest the time to understand our strategy, our brand, our customer and the objectives of the project.  They ensure we are aligned on the feeling of the scene by recommending an aesthetic, color palette and overall styling recommendations.  Kara is respectful, collaborative and a unique professional in this industry.  We highly respect her work ethics, her professionalism and how she has been instrumental in advancing the Alberta fashion scene.
