Help-Portrait with Warren Village, Studio Salon and Dave Sands

Leave a comment

We are so excited to partner up with Warren Village, Studio Salon and Dave Sands for the December 6th Help-Portrait! Help-Portrait is a global movement of photographers, hairstylists, and makeup artists using their time, tools, and expertise to give back to those in need.

We have selected Warren Village to be the organization that we work with and with our neighbors a half block away at Studio Salon, what a perfect opportunity to put to use the talent that is right on our own block of Bannock Street!

Warren Village exists so low income, single parent families can achieve
sustainable personal & economic self-sufficiency.

“As a salon owner I understand the importance of beauty and as a woman I understand the need to feel beautiful.  For my staff and I, the greatest gift we can give this holiday season is the gift of beauty.  If we can ignite a spark within these women, boosting their confidence and self esteem, than we are giving the greatest gift we possibly can,” says Andrea Tucker owner of Studio Salon.

Dave Sands“Giving someone a reason to smile is a wonderful gift!”, says Dave Sands, Denver photographer.

Ily | Iley launches a holiday shopping experience that is diverse in design and uniquely inspirational to Denver shoppers

On Saturday, December 13th, the Ily | Iley team, consisting of best friends Bailey Lemak and Ilyse Mark, bring their shared passion for fashion and covetable vintage to the Golden Triangle in a unique holiday shopping experience at the Fashion Denver headquarters. Shoppers will be able to pop down to 1070 Bannock Street in the Golden Triangle from 10:00am-6:00pm and avoid the crowds at the mall while buying truly unique fashion pieces.

ily | ileyThe start to Ily | Iley is truly a story of destiny and fate. The two met briefly at a party in Miami while both were coincidentally living in New York City. However, the hustle and bustle of the city did not allow them the time to nurture a budding friendship. It wasn’t until years later that their friendship truly began here in the mile high city.

“Individually, both of us saw in the other, a reflection of the perfect mixture of similarities and differences in our own personal … Read more!

Karen FisherConnecting people is one of the things that Fashion Denver loves to do! I met Karen Fisher and her artwork blew me away. It was an absolute pleasure to not only meet Karen, but to introduce her to the people in our fashion industry!

“I met Brandi at a fashion event in Denver about a year ago. I wanted to get involved with the fashion world in Denver and Brandi was the first person that I reached out to and who took an interest in my fashion-inspired mixed-media artwork. I expressed to her my desire to show my work at Denver fashion events and venues and, well, The Doors Flew Open! 

Brandi is responsible for the connections that I’ve made within the fashion world in Denver and to her I am truly grateful. Whatever your career aspirations, Brandi is the person to help you jumpstart it. She is visionary, encouraging, inspirational and can equip you with the tools that you need to help you with your goals. 

Thank you, Brandi! I’m so glad that I met you!”
