AYDEN

My name is Ayden Ehlinger, and I am a current student at Dakota Ridge High School. I am so grateful for this opportunity to work at Fashion Denver. Over the course of my internship, I am looking forward to learning about the process of working with designers and reporting on their work. I have always admired the fashion industry and the way fashion can create a global impact, so I am excited to learn about different designers and the messages they carry with their brands.

MAYA

KianaKouture: Kimonos that make a statement

“Sometimes all a woman needs is a “statement piece” to pull her look together; so why not throw on a kimono? I founded Ziba Kimonos by Kiana Kouture to fulfill a long time dream to empower women, regardless of skin color or size, to feel fabulous in their clothes!”- Kiana

Who doesn’t love that one perfect piece that can pull together any outfit.. Whether it’s a beautiful cocktail dress, your swimsuit while on vacation, or your favorite jeans and t-shirt, the kimono is a beautiful way to do just that!

We had a chance to get to know the designer behind the kimonos, Colorado resident residing in beautiful Monument, Kiana!

 I attended CSU Ft. Collins after graduation and have spent the majority of my life in beautiful Colorado. I currently live in Monument and enjoy exploring and shopping in Denver (especially the … Read more!
