DENVER — (Sept 27, 2023) Clothing designer Brooks LTD, Chrissy Liu Jewelry, and milliner Miss Victoria Regina just announced an exclusive two-day only fashion trunk show to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer.

By uniting glamour and goodwill, this unique collaboration promises to showcase a collection of exquisite designs from each designer in an unforgettable historical setting. Each designer is bringing a special selection of her jewelry, hats and headwear, or ready-to wear items; Brooks LTD, run by breast cancer-survivor Brooks Luby, has created one-of-a- kind wearable items specifically for the event.

Very nearly “couture for a cause,” a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Littleton-based nonprofit Hope Held by a Horse, an organization that emotionally supports women with breast cancer by providing healing horses for animal therapy so women can learn, grow, and heal.

Hosted at the Brooks LTD atelier, attendees can contribute to a meaningful cause while shopping, mingling, enjoying light refreshments and drinks, and potentially … Read more!

As the summer sun shines brightly upon the beautiful city of Denver, Colorado, it’s time to revamp your wardrobe and embrace the season’s hottest fashion trends.

While the Mile High City offers a plethora of outdoor activities and urban adventures, staying cool and stylish in the midst of scorching temperatures can be a challenge. Fear not, as we bring you a comprehensive guide on how to stay cool in the city while looking effortlessly chic. From breathable fabrics to trendy accessories, let’s dive into the world of summer fashion in Denver.

Embrace Lightweight Fabrics:

TRASH BECOMES TREASURE AT ABSOLUTE RUBBISH: A TRASH FASHION SHOW

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH AT 7 PM AT
THE PERPLEXIPLEX, CONVERGENCE STATION
18+

Denver, CO – July 5th, 2023 – Meow Wolf Denver is thrilled to announce its very first trash fashion show, where innovation and sustainability collide in a dazzling display of avant-garde looks. This trashtastic event will feature 20 local designers unveiling their mind-boggling, recycled and upcycled creations on the runway. Get ready to be blown away by the transformation from refuse to remarkable; the trashier the better!

While the fashion industry is vital to American culture and self expression, the impact to the environment is hard to ignore. The U.S. Geological Survey found that 71% of microplastics found in samples of river water came from fibers. Scientists estimate that, globally, 35% of the microplastics found in oceans can be traced to textiles, making them the largest source of microplastic pollution in the world’s oceans. (Bloomberg)

Meow Wolf is committed to sustainability and as such, many of the costumes designed by Wardrobe Coordinator Kate Major are reused, upcycled, and recreated from unwanted materials–as was the case for her look presented at the Spring ‘23 Paper Fashion Show. 

“There is so much inspiration in trash!” said Kate Major, … Read more!
