Otero Menswear: Short Men Standing Tall on Fitted, Sustainable Fashion
Interview with Co-Founder Steve Villanueva of Otero Menswear
So, what is so special about Otero Menswear?
Our company is founded on the belief that a well-dressed man is more confident and respected than a man in the same position who always looks out of place in his own clothes. And we also believe that dressing really well should be effortless. Because men with confidence, intelligence, and drive have better things to do than try on every shirt that should be in your size. In fact, we believe this so passionately that we completely reinvented the concept of clothing sizes.
Most men’s apparel brands are designed for an imaginary “average” body type—one that is roughly 5’10” or 5’11”, of middling weight, with a chest measurement that determines the width of the entire garment. All other sizes (XS-XXL) are created off of this template by making the shirt proportionally bigger or smaller. Basically, every man alive is expected to fit into only seven sizes, based on a body scale that doesn’t really exist.
In reality, men have two distinctive body types, that actually serve different functions, and these are defined by differences in the shoulder-waist ratio.

2875 Blake St,
Denver, CO 80205

Fashion Denver’s fashion camps are designed to unleash the creativity for kids interested in the fashion world. With special guests from the Colorado fashion community to hands on activities in designing accessories and an outfit, our campers end the day with a walk down the runway in their design that they created.
Fashion camp is designed for fashionistas between the ages of 4-11! We have our groups divided equally so even if you are super young or a tween, you’ll be working at the level that you should be.
Our August edition of fashion camp is going to be something like we’ve never done!! There are 2 parts of unique fun to this camp.
We are using 100% recycled materials (bubble wrap, card board, cans, scraps of papers and ribbons, old office supplies and so much more) to construct an outfit! Using these recycled materials, our camper’s imaginations will soar. We’ll also hear from Jasmin with Eco -Cycle who will be leading our campers on a journey in recycling!
This won’t just be any old outfit but an outfit based around each camper’s… Read more!
Designer Interview: Julia Rhoden Design
The first time we met Julia Rhoden, of Julia Rhoden Design, was when we held an eco-fashion competition where designers were partnered up with an ecological fashion disaster! I need to find those photos!! Julia’s design was so innovative and clever and ever since then, she has been on the forefront of our minds as a designer here in Denver.
Let’s see what inspires this woman!
What inspired your love for fashion and fashion design?
Honestly for most of my life I wanted to be a zoologist and chase wolves around in Russia UNTIL I saw the movie the ‘Devil Wears Prada’ in high school and I instantaneously became inspired by the ‘Miranda Priesly’ character and just knew in my heart- “This is what I need to do.” Senior year of high school I changed my direction and directed everything towards becoming a fashion designer.
The first thing I ever made was my best friends bright yellow prom dress!
How long have you been designing?
I have been designing since high school but have been seriously designing over the last seven years. Really honing in on my construction, my technical skills and aesthetic.
Did you go to school for design … Read more!
