TORONTO, Nov. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Athlete
empowerment brand, UNINTERRUPTED Canada, and Canada's fashion and lifestyle retailer,
Holt Renfrew, today
announced a new content series titled, WHAT DO
YOU WEAR?, set to debut on YouTube on
Thursday, November 18. The show
features a roster of leading athletes amongst a rack of the most
coveted fashion and accessories and asks them the age-old
question, what do you wear? in a variety of interesting and comical
scenarios.
"Athletes are multi-faceted, talented individuals
who bring an original and unmatched take on today's fashion,"
said UNINTERRUPTED Canada Producer, Will Mansbridge.
"We're excited to once again partner with
Holt Renfrew to help bring this unique story to life and highlight
the distinctive choices of some of the most recognizable sports
figures in Canada."
The series debuts with Toronto Raptors guard and fashion savant,
Gary Trent Jr., with subsequent episodes featuring
Canada's most
decorated Olympic medalist and always stylish, Penny Oleksiak, among others.
"After setting off an epic scarf battle with Avec Classe, we're excited to partner with
Uninterrupted again on a great new series to share with their
audience of culturally driven sports fans," says Wes Wolch, Senior Vice President, Marketing,
Holt Renfrew. "Athletes have always expressed themselves on the
court, but the locker room tunnels have become the new fashion
runways." Further, Wolch says, "At Holt Renfrew, we believe in the
power of self-expression and we want to share that side of the
player's personality and get to know them beyond their athletic
achievements."
Building on the visual inspiration and energy of
the two brands' first digital series, Avec Classe hosted by Serge
Ibaka, each episode will see an athlete challenged with
different scenarios that inspire laugh-out-loud moments and put the
stakes of style and personal reputation on the line, all in the
spirit of fashion exploration and curation. Throughout each
episode, the athlete is challenged to dress for a special occasion
and select from racks containing a wide range of brands and
styles.
Viewers and fashion aficionados will get to see the latest
fashion, accessories, and seasonal items available only at
Holt Renfrew. The Canadian retailer's shopping
environment provides the perfect backdrop as fashion insiders spill
style secrets and contextualize current trends.
WHAT DO YOU WEAR? is a concept
created, produced, and distributed by UNINTERRUPTED Canada.
