Join Fashion Denver and the Denver Art Museum at Untitled as we present Habitat, a designer challenge! Inspired by the The Art of Bark Cloth exhibit at the DAM, designers have been asked to design what “habitat” means to them and with full creative freedom, each designer will express this on canvas. With this artwork on canvas, designers will then make a handbag with the canvas. Friday night, all of the designers will be at the barkcloth exhibit with their bags on display and a designer discussion will take place at 7:30 where guests can learn about what inspired the design of each bag, designer’s habitat, and more!
Featured designers:
Deb Henriksen | Equilibrium
Olivia McLean | ViVi
Sunrose Ironshell | Warrior Status
Sarah Secrist | LoHi Bags
Brandi Shigley | b.shigley designs
Also! We’ll be holding a #DamWhat’sInMyBag contest where guests can instagram the contents of their bag along with the hashtag. We’ll pick a winner at 9:30 in the main atrium of the DAM and whoever has the most interesting assortment of items in their bag will win a fun little surprise!
We hope to see you there!
