We are thrilled to announce that we are officially partnering up with Rooster & Moon for our summer fashion market! It has been a dream to have the market outside and right down the street from our Fashion Denver office, and now… the dream has come true! Inspired from my time as a handbag designer doing markets in Los Angeles in downtown parking lots, I wanted to recreate that experience right here in Denver!

We are also partnering up with Studio Salon, our neighbors up the street! The fashion show staging area will be held at Studio Salon where hair and makeup will be done and we’ll be parading down Bannock to the fashion market for our 3 fashion shows.

Conveniently located right off Speer and Bannock, this central location will be perfect for the summer fun fashion festivities.

Clothing and accessory designers as well as beauty companies are invited to come and set up a mini shop and share your collection with the public, … Read more!

Spring is here!

April 30, 2014 B. shigglesworth Leave a comment

As the weather gets warmer, its time to break out your Spring wardrobe. It may be time for a wardrobe update and there are so many new trends this season to try! My friend, Kit, and I decided to try them out and mix them with our existing wardrobes. Here are our 5 favorites.

Trend #1: Aztec Prints

Aztec prints are huge this season! I paired this with a simple black maxi and a statement necklace for a fun and easy look. This is a great way to try out the print before you dive in.

Trend #2: Crop Tops

Crops tops are another trend I’ve been seeing a lot of this Spring. Paring them with a higher waisted maxi skirt is a great way to rock a crop top without showing too much skin.

Trend #3: Fringe

Fringe is in again! This is a trend that can be worn so many ways, from boots, purses, dresses and shirts, you can’t go wrong! I chose a black dress with fringe on the shoulders, this would be perfect for a girls night out!

Trend #4: Jumpsuits and Rompers

Jumpsuits and Rompers are a great early spring trend for when its still … Read more!

Happy Birthday Hailee Grace!

April 25, 2014 B. shigglesworth Leave a comment

I first met Hailee and Grace at a trunk show a couple weeks ago and quite honestly, just absolutely LOVED hanging out with these young and fashionable entrepreneurs!

At the trunk show, I only got to get a tiny glimpse into what they carried at their boutique so it was quite a joy to walk down from the Fashion Denver headquarters, through the streets of Denver, into Larimer Square and find their stylish boutique nestled amongst the hustle and bustle of a Denver evening and full of beautiful spring fashions.

Hailee Grace was full of stylish fashionistas and the lines to the fitting rooms were full with arms piled high of affordable fashions. That is one thing that I love about this boutique! You’re not breaking the bank to look like a million dollars!

Their neighbor TAG provided delicious appetizers for all those that came to this event AND… YUM!! The most beautiful looking cake was waiting to be cut!

I love celebrating the success of small business and I look forward to seeing their business unfold… literally 😉

Whitney Alexandra

What an amazing meeting today with Whitney Alexandra! We had met back in 2009 when she assisted with fashion show production at a museum event. Our encounter was brief and in between that time and today, she has gone on to do an internship in NYC for Macy’s marketing team, helped start up, launch, and run an accessory business, and is now doing her own thing as a personal stylist, editorial stylist, fashion columnist, and sneaker connoisseur.

She continues to pave her own path and diving into the depths of her passions. We are hoping that we’ll work with her in July for the Fashion Denver summer fashion market!

What a wonderful break in the day to meet with such an inspiring, motivating, and stylish woman!
