This past weekend 303 Magazine hosted Denver Fashion Weekend. On Thursday April 3, the event kicked off with a street style fashion show. The multilevel venue, near city hall was perfect for a fashion show.
The show highlighted three DFW’s sponsors and allowed them to show off their Spring/Summer 2014 collections . Schomp Mini, associated with BMW’s Mini Cooper, went first showing a collection of graphic T’s and weekender duffel bags. Burton, a snowboard company, displayed their activewear collection ranging from shorts, T shirts and hoodies to backpacks and hats. Last but not least, Ducati, a motorcycle brand, wrapped it up by showing their collection of jackets and T shirts highlighting their brand name.
The event kicked off Denver Fashion Weekend well, and started the buzz for the events to come.… Read more!
This past Tuesday evening, I stopped by Porch Light Real Estate Group on S. University for a collective trunk show featuring Live Worldly, Hailee Grace, and Feline Swimwear. This uber chic office was transformed into a mini boutique and I was able to get a sample of these 3 companies, all female owned and operated. It was pretty much a “Girl Power” kind of evening with wine and snacks.
Of course, since we are sponsored by Luna Bars, I brought over the latest and tastiest of protein bars making sure that the girls took boxes home for when they may get a little hangry (hungry-angry… oh wait.. is that just me?).
I tried on 3 different swimsuits and finally settled on mix and match top, florescent green, harkening back to my 7th and 8th grade years, but now, a little sassier. I felt like a teenager and a slumber party having so much fun gabbing with the girls and running around in my swimsuit.
Live Worldly operates online bringing the latest of fashions that are giving back to the community. They brought a variety of athletic gear from yoga pants, running jackets, to a cute selection of … Read more!
My name is Kellie Mortimer and I am going to be the new Fashion Denver Intern for the Spring of 2014. I am a Southern California native who moved to Denver four years ago. I am currently a senior at the University of Denver, majoring in Marketing. I studied abroad in Paris, France last fall, where I studied fashion and French.

It’s no surprise that Denver has an incredible art scene. In fact, there is so much going on in the art scene that sometimes it’s hard to catch it all. Westword made it easy for us to check out the best of the best that the arts have to offer in Denver. Westword hosted their 19th annual Artopia on Saturday night, February 22, at five different locations along Broadway’s club strip: Vinyl, City Hall, Salty Dog, Bar Standard and the Living Room. Denver art enthusiasts enjoyed live music, artist displays/demos, vendor booths, poerty and various performances throughout the night. Artopia is an event that us Denverlites wait all year for and this year was no exception! To put it lightly: if you missed out, well.. you missed out!
This year also marked the 8th Annual Mastermind Awards at Artopia, where our town was given the opportunity to honor five local artists/organizations for their contribution to Denver’s creative landscape. Westword recognizes that in order to help the arts grow in our town, the MasterMinds could use a little extra cash to expand to new heights. The MasterMind Awards gives grants to five local artists and organizations, who each receive … Read more!
On Thursday night my fellow Denverlites and I did what we do best and braved the snow in the name of fashion. It was a complete whiteout outside, making a perfect platform for the whiteout that would ensue inside of the McNichols Building.
Our night started just as any good night should – with a toast of champagne and good company. The second annual Westword Whiteout benefitted the American Transplant Foundation and was not only a chance for us to support the incredible Denver fashion scene, but it was also a time for us to celebrate our very own Brandi Shigley whose designs would be featured in the fashion show. Cheers to that!
We arrived at the McNichols Building with snowflake accessories in our hair from the winter wonderland that was outside. The doors opened to a bustling scene of well-dressed attendees, specialty cocktails, delicious bites, and bumping music. We socialized with designers, chatted with stylists, snapped a few pictures and scoped out the elite fashion as we walked through the posh event.
Once it was nearing 9 pm we made our way to our seats and eagerly waited for the start of the fashion show. I have … Read more!
