TODAY’S FEATURED DESIGNER-A-DAY
FOR THE FASHION DENVER HOLIDAY MARKET

Name: Sara Schmitz Olson and Christa Schmitz

Business: Chrisara

When were you first inspired to design? We are twin sisters Sara and Christa creating Chrisara. When we were little, our parents didn’t want us to watch TV, so they sat us down at a little table and had us draw. We quickly were fascinated with drawing people and animals. Our dad taught us how to sew on a machine at age 7. All this helped motivate and push us to where we are now. We obtained our dream to work together as artists/designers and combine our love for drawing/painting onto developed designs of our own.

What will you be showing at Fashion Denver’s Holiday Market? We will be showing our current line of original designs and partially hand painted apparel featuring animals and skulls native to the beautiful Colorado state.

If you had to pick one piece from your collection that most represents your personality, which would it be? The attached pic of the flowy, original design skull, cropped tank describes Chrisara’s personality b/c we like clean lines and a laid back vibe, but still something artistic in style.

Why should people come see you at the Fashion Denver Holiday Market on December 15th? Come see us! We are silly/talkative twins that like to discuss our designs, and help in finding the right apparel fit, shape, and design for each individual.

From your collection, what would be the perfect holiday gift? Girls, do you need a gift idea for your man? What about your Dad or brother? We have hoodies, t-shirts, and long sleeves for that man of yours. The male design apparel is soft, worn-in, and perfect for that “conservative” or “hipster” in your lives.
