———————————
What: Fashion Denver’s ENCHANTMENT fashion market features 15 local Colorado fashion businesses in the beautiful grounds of the Byers-Evans house located at 1310 Bannock Street (13th and Bannock right next to the Denver Art Museum). There will be 3 fashion shows (12, 2, &4).
This event is FREE and open to the public!
Overview Schedule:
| Set up | 8:00am-10:00am |
| Market time | 10:00am-5:00pm |
| Fashion shows | 12,2 & 4 |
| Break Down | 5:00pm |
Load in and parking: There will be street parking along Bannock Street. Meters won’t need to be paid since it will be Sunday. I recommend parking as close to the house as possible, unloading, and then moving your car so others may load in after you.
Set up: Each designer must be completely set up by 9:45 a.m. Therefore, set up begins at 8:00. There will be coffee and breakfast treats for you to assist in the waking up process. Good morning!
Bring tables, racks, little tables, shelves, mannequins, whatever you want to make it your space. Be creative!! I find that you will get more sales with a creative set up versus just a banquet table and that’s it. Make your space represent you and play with the idea of this outdoor market set in the yard of such an elegant house from 1800!
Location of booth spaces: When you arrive you will be able to pick your spot on the grounds of the Byers-Evans house. This is an intimate group so we will have plenty of space to spread out.
Table and Chairs: If you ordered a table, your table will be ready and we’ll have a crew to help you get it to your spot. We will also provide chairs for each of you. For those of you who have ordered a banquet table, the table dimensions are approximately 6×2.
Booth Space: Anticipate a 10×10 space. If you have a 10×10 tent, you are all set! In fact, we recommend that you bring a 10×10 tent as you just never know what weather can do in Denver! We’ll do a sunshine dance! Please note that I’m doing some research into tent rental but haven’t really found anywhere affordable yet… Designers have told me that bought their tents at Sam’s Club, Costco and Walmart. A good investment if you’re doing lots of shows! Anticipate NO electricity.
Necessities: Don’t forget to bring lots of business cards, your receipt book, guestbook, mirrors, and any informational pieces about your business. Bring a water bottle to keep yourself cool and sunblock 🙂
Breakdown: Breakdown will begin at 5:00 p.m. Please clean up any trash and misc. whatnots around your booth. If you have rented a table, please be sure to bring it to the return table area in the front area.
Exchange of Money: You are responsible for all sales and sales tax. We don’t have a credit card machine so if you have that, please bring it for your sales. Be sure to have signage of what forms of payment you accept. Be sure to bring lots of change.
Food: There are a few places to get food right in the vicinity of the Byers-Evans like Cap City, Pints Pub, Denver Pizza, & Parsley.
Drawings: Throughout the day, we’ll be holding drawing for the shoppers. What the shoppers can win are fabulous gifts from you, the designer! The gift that you give can be small or big, whatever you feel like donating. It’s best to package it up and have your business card with the gift. You can drop the gift off when you pick up the flyers or drop off your fashion show item or give to me the day of the event. This is not mandatory, just an option.
Fashion Shows: There will be 3 fashion shows throughout the day on our mini stage (the patios and sidewalks of the house). The shows will be at noon, 2, &4 and will feature looks from our featured designers.. YOU! We will be mixing fashions together to ensure that everybody will have equal time on the runway. We provide the models and music! Our models are a combination of agency models mixed with some of Denver’s creative people. It’s very important to us to have all shapes and sizes in our fashion show!
Please note that the items for the fashion show should be ones that you don’t mind not being sold during the market. The fashions will be used for both fashion shows and need to be used the entire day. We’ve found that sometimes after the fashion show, people want to buy the fashion right off the model!
Your Designs in the Fashion Shows: Each jewelry / handbag designer can put in 3-5 pieces and clothing designer 3-7 pieces.
As far as what kind of items to have in the show, that depends on you! Whatever you feel would be fun to have in the show works. Most pieces are mixed and matched with other designers designs but if you have a complete ensemble that will work too.
DROP OFF ITEMS NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY, MAY 13TH, OUR FITTINGS ARE THAT EVENING! If we’ve already got your pieces left over from the photoshoot, we can use those in the show too. Just let me know!
Drop off for Fashion Show Items are at our office:
1070 Bannock Street
Denver, CO 80204
This is going to be a very exciting event and we are thrilled to have you participate!! If you have any questions, please let me know!
