Talk about a setting that encourages big ideas to take flight!

Mona Lucero Studio Visit!

Not a quick hug at an event. Not a “we need to catch up!” as we run in opposite directions. This was REAL quality time. 🥹❤️

On Saturday, I got to sit down with the amazing Mona Lucero, one of the true OGs of Denver fashion, in her beautiful showroom and design space.

And we REMINISCED.

We talked about shows, designers, people, adventures, and moments we’ve shared throughout more than TWO DECADES of Denver fashion. 🤯 HOLY MOLY.

There was something so special about actually sitting together, slowing down, and remembering where we’ve been, how much has changed, and all the beautiful creativity that has woven its way through the years.

Mona, I treasure you, your friendship, your incredible talent, and the history we share. What a gift Saturday was. ❤️

Here’s a little peek inside the wonderfully creative world of Mona Lucero. ✨… Read more!

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.

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. 📸🪽
