Your guide to this issue’s fashions and services
The space called The Factory gets the glory at Lot 42. It’s certainly what drew us to do our fashion shoot there. The Factory is an impressive open area that leaves no doubt what the space once was, even after being converted to handle a wide range of uses. The extended yellow jib cranes and original factory windows helped give us our desired feel of an industrial setting to act as a contrast to the stylish furniture and clothing taking centre stage. The large windows have varying degrees of green shading due to a mural painted on the outside of the building. But there’s more to the Lot 42 Global Flex Campus than The Factory, which has hosted food and beverage shows, Communitech’s True North tech conference and a Kane Brown concert with an audience of 4,000 people. Along with spaces that can host events of varying sizes, businesses such as The Athlete Factory and Let’s Dance call Lot 42’s campus home. There’s also B Hospitality, which is establishing a commercial kitchen for catering operations at the front of the facility, located at 41 Ardelt Pl. in Kitchener. Lot 42 will next month be a popular destination for many people as it becomes Oktoberfest’s main festhall, as well as hosting Oktoberfest’s gala, fashion show and Women of the Year events.
