The challenge consisted on the presentation of the Parfois SS16 On the Road collection in Oporto for bloggers and the international fashion press media. Our task was to create a special event with full day duration for each group. Invited by the brand, groups arrived from Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Ireland, Poland, Morocco, Tunisia and others. With a total of 5 different groups, each one should experience a unique experience.

Taking into account the cultural diversity of the guests and the origin of the collection which aimed for travelling references such as trips, glamping and safari,
the concept of “Parfois 5th essence” was born referring to the cardinal points, where Parfois represented the center and the 5th essence of the event.

The embodiment of this concept resulted in 5 different adventures in Oporto, city that welcomed the guests with exclusive and personalized transports and surprises, was the stage for touristic tours and glamping lunches in green open-spaces.

Nonetheless it was on the city’s heart, on a secret venue that the climax of each event occurred. It was a transformed space on an urban jungle, defined by the ambience sounds, the vegetation and 3D faced animals. Here each group was invited to see the collection presentation and to carry on a photoshoot with the product.

Lastly, the guests were guided to the ex libris of glamping, a greenhouse in the middle of the garden where, in each day, themed dinners with decorations and gastronomies of each cardinal point and country region (North, South, East, West and Centre) took place, served by “humanized animals” in a unique environment.
