The first time that I met Rachel Lang approximately 4 years ago, I was pretty much inspired from the second I met her. Her style, her sweet and genius vibe, and her creativity flowed out with every word she spoke. I immediately knew that I wanted her to inspire our kiddos at Fashion Camp! 

Rachel joined our Fashion Camp, creating a fashion activity taking t-shirts and turning them into magic. The kids fell in love with Rachel and ever since then, she’s been part of the Fashion Denver team!

IF YOU HAD TO SUM UP ALL THAT YOU DO IN ONE TITLE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Creative Director of Life 

WHAT WAS YOUR EARLIEST MEMORY OF LOVING FASHION?

I ripped big holes on the knees of my jeans in second grade because my best friend Randy had them and they looked SO cool! My mom threw the jeans out and I was super sad. 

When I tell people I grew up in a shack/trailer combo with no electricity or running water I really mean it y’all. This is why I’m so good at Burning Man 😂😭

 

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MEDIUM TO CREATE IN?

Tough! I can’t decide between makeup, fabric, or digital art. 

WHAT DOES A TYPICAL TUESDAY LOOK LIKE FOR YOU?

Wake up and take my dog out, make a cup of coffee and get dressed, go downstairs to my studio and work at my job as a visual designer, and then the evening is either sewing, hanging with my sister, or doing some other kind of artwork. We go to bed pretty early and watch dinosaur videos on YouTube for a while before bed. 

WHAT’S BEEN YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE THIS YEAR?

It’s been a hectic year! We’ve had a lot of travel and we moved house. I like routine and I need quiet time for art, so having so much going on can be tiring.

LIFE ADVICE?

It’s never too late to learn something new or start over! 

3 THINGS IF STRANDED ON AN ISLAND

A thick pad of paper, a pen, and a hydrating lip gloss! 

ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SHARE?

Denver has such a great, unique fashion culture. It’s a special community and I love being a part of it!
