When the fashion week goers first enter Canopy, they are greeted with the first exhibition space, a forest simulation room.
In the forest simulation space, guests will feel immersed within a real boreal forest. The forest projections will disappear over the next minutes, displaying how rapid deforestation can happen.
The exhibition also showcases an alternative way to create fashionable garments without causing damage to our forests.
By walking through the Canopy exhibition, visitors can virtually experience the devastating effects of deforestation.
After experiencing the exhibition, fashion week goers can reflect on the exhibition and relax in the lounge at the exit.
