Earlier this year, Cristina Grajales invited Ashlynn Park to explore her ideas beyond fashion and in other realms.
Reverie, is an exhibition inspired by the concept of navigation life’s pathways between dreams and reality, past and future.
Shedding light on the interconnections of language and precess, told through Park’s curatorial lens, Reverie aspires to free the mind and enrich one’s understanding of design in other forms.

“I see Reverie as a sanctuary for my creativity—a daydream where the boundaries of reality don't constrain me. It’s a space where I can simply enjoy the moment without the weight of heavy commitments.
This time, the format we are presenting during NYFW, rather than a traditional runway show, allowed me the freedom to explore possibilities and focus on creating pieces like an artist would.”

“Materializing a dream is fascinating. Particularly in fashion. Fashion provides a mirror to the way we think, our values and attitudes. Clothing that makes us feel powerful is one that makes us feel confident, self-assured, that magically makes us look our best in all kinds of circumstances.”

“Reverie is a way of showing how our clients embrace and live with art, design and fashion. Together they make an incredible ensemble. Ashlynn is creating a dialogue that amplifies the connections between art and life.
