Welcome to Fashion Denver!

The big names in fashion aren’t just in New York, Paris or Milan these days. With a wealth of talented local artists and designers in Denver, the mile high city is on the rise as a style scene all on its own.

FASHION DENVER IS OPEN M-F 11-6, SATURDAY NOON-6

Fashion Denver bridges an avenue between designers, small business owners and the fashion-forward consumer by creating a network of fashion enthusiasts unlike any other in this thriving city. The Fashion Denver showroom houses designers from over fifteen lines but the core backbone of the business is to provide business development while hosting and creating fashion markets and shows throughout the city.

Holy cow! It's almost August! The summer is half way over already and boy has it been a fun one! We have lots more fun in store so stay tuned!!!

Our fashion event at the Botanic Gardens went wonderfully! To see fashions throughout the gardens amongst the flowers was incredible! Thank you to the Fashion Denver crew and designers Mona Lucero, Melissa May, Deb Henriksen, Rae Marie, Francis Roces, and Fallene Wells for making the event possible! Special thanks to the Cosmetology School of the Arts for doing the hair and makeup!

New Designers and saying goodbye to our lovely book bag designer...

We're getting some new designers into the showroom and we'll be welcoming Natalee M. Designs and Donna Meyers, adding to our collection of accessories. This is also the last week that Aniesa-Loo Who will be in our showroom. We sure have loved having the fantastic collection of book bags to accompany our summer book reading!

Tomorrow night (Tuesday), the Fashion Denver team is heading to Film on the Rocks to watch the classic Clueless! We're going to get totally dolled up in really ugly clothing.... AS IF! Totally ADORABLE clothing more like it! Get your ticket and meet us up there!

This week we've got the Fashion Flash Mob on Friday! If you are a designer, meet us at Fashion Denver on Friday evening and march down to the Denver Art Museum and represent our local fashion! Read details under our Designer Opportunities Link!

Happy Tuesday!

For me, Tuesday seems to be the day that I try to kick some major butt crossing off items on my to do list, feeling a resurgence in energy from the weekend, and ready to rock the rest of the week. But sometimes, I step outside into the hot sunshine and I become a lazy lady who wants to lay on my back in the lazy river doing absolutely nothing. So! I opt to stay in the cool airconditioned Fashion Denver, surrounded by beautiful fabrics, clothing, jewelry, and handbags. If you still haven't come by to visit, please do! We'd love to have you! Maybe we'll even make you some iced tea! We've got a super action packed week ahead and the most FUN fashion weekend!! Read on....

Have a wonderful week ahead!!
Yours truly,
Brandi S. Shigley

TONIGHT! Film on the Rocks!
Come and "Roll with the homies"
Red Rocks
7pm
$10.00

We're so excited to head up to the beautiful Red Rocks to see Clueless, listen to Bop Skizzum, and even watch some comedy! It's not just about the film tonight but it's also a clothing donation event! Read on for all of the wonderful information! I know where I'll be taking my clothing donations! And now, I'll make room for all the new summer dresses I'm collecting...

If you love Clueless and you like "doing stuff for other people", how about a chance to win dinner and a concert at Red Rocks? Simply bring your gently used clothing to the show on Tuesday. Donation Stations will be located at all three ticket gates. For every five items you donate, you will receive a chance to win dinner for two at Red Rock's Ship Rock Grille and two tickets to the concert of your choice (based on availability). Donations will be accepted until 8:00 pm, and the winner will be announced on-stage by comedian Chuck Roy at 8:30 pm. BOP SKIZZUM will be the musical guest that evening and we have no doubt that they will rock the audience into a blow off some steam, burn it up, funk-frenzy.

SPECIAL OFFER FROM QDOBA MEXICAN GRILL, bring your receipt from Qdoba, dated from July 20 thru July 27 and get 2 for 1 tickets for Clueless.
