The Last Afternoon Fashion Show Takes Flight at City Park

Fashion and art take flight this week with The Last Afternoon Fashion Show, part of the Songbirds Art Exhibition presented at Pirate Contemporary Art Gallery.

On September 18 at 6 PM, the runway lands at the beautiful Denver City Park Pavilion for an evening featuring Skyeaire, with designs from Doghair, Ojovitaa, Emex-Xeen, and Vulgr.

And Denver showed UP. The fashion show is officially SOLD OUT!

We love seeing our creative community rally around independent designers, artists, and the wonderfully imaginative people who keep Denver’s fashion scene interesting.

If you didn’t snag a spot, don’t worry. We’ll be sharing photos and highlights from the show afterward, so you can still get a peek at what took flight on the runway. 📸🪽

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing The Last Afternoon to life. We can’t wait to see the looks, the people, and the magic unfold!
