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!

Beating the Colorado Heat: Fashion Tips for the Dog Days of Summer

If you’ve stepped outside lately, you know Colorado isn’t exactly being subtle about summer. One minute you’re enjoying your morning coffee on the patio, and the next you’re wondering if the sidewalk might actually be lava.

The dog days of summer have officially arrived, but staying cool doesn’t mean sacrificing your personal style. In fact, some of the best summer outfits are the ones that let you breathe, move, and enjoy everything Colorado has to offer.

Choose Natural Fabrics

When temperatures climb into the 90s (and beyond!), your wardrobe works overtime.

Reach for breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, bamboo, and lightweight rayon blends. These materials allow air to circulate and help wick away moisture, keeping you more comfortable whether you’re strolling through a farmers market, grabbing lunch with friends, or heading to an outdoor concert.

Let Your Clothes Move

Summer is the perfect excuse to embrace flowy silhouettes.

Think breezy sundresses, wide-leg linen pants, oversized button-down shirts, relaxed jumpsuits, and skirts that catch the afternoon breeze. Clothing that floats instead of clings can make a surprising difference on a hot day.

Little Designers, Big Imaginations: Fashion Denver’s Summer Fashion Camp Recap

There is something incredibly special about watching creativity come alive through the eyes of a child.

Fashion Denver’s Summer Fashion Camp transformed Thrive Workplace into a colorful design studio as young designers spent the day imagining, creating, and celebrating sustainable fashion. This year’s theme, Resort Remix, challenged campers to transform upcycled sheer curtains into stylish swimsuit coverups, proving that creativity doesn’t begin at the fabric store. Sometimes it begins by seeing something ordinary in an entirely new way.

Before diving into the fabrics, campers filled their pages with colorful drawings and big ideas. Then the real fun began! They wrapped, tied, twirled, clipped, and zhooshed colorful sheer curtains into fabulous resort-inspired looks. There were giggles, impromptu runway walks, and lots of “Look what I made!” moments as every little designer discovered their own unique style.

Before diving into their projects, campers heard from several incredible members of Denver’s creative community.

Our little designers also got to spend time with some amazing creative friends! Emily Clarendon made learning about the color wheel bright, colorful, and full of fun. Michael Sullivan of HAUS HOLD had everyone striking poses, practicing their runway walks, and discovering their inner supermodel. To top it all … Read more!
