WRAP UP! DENVER ARTS & VENUES CULTURAL RUNWAY SERIES: CLICK, CLACK, SQUEAK!

Fashion Denver was thrilled to attend the electrifying DENVER ARTS & VENUES CULTURAL RUNWAY SERIES: CLICK, CLACK, SQUEAK fashion show, held behind the stage at the iconic Temple Buell Theatre. This unique setting provided a mesmerizing backdrop, offering a rare glimpse of the massive auditorium’s empty seats and grand stage from a whole new perspective!

The show itself was a feast for the eyes and a celebration of diverse footwear. Upon arrival, each guest was delighted to find a pair of chic sunglasses from Tami Smith of Eye Paparazzi, waiting at their seats – a stylish gift that added a fun, fashionable touch to the evening. The runway featured an eclectic mix of high-end shoe brands, personal collections, and stunning custom designs. From dazzling sneakers and towering heels to elegant cowboy boots, the variety was truly astounding.

Adding to the show’s allure was the incredible diversity of the models. Representing a spectrum of colors and backgrounds, the models also included a fabulous participant in a wheelchair, highlighting the show’s commitment to inclusivity and representation. The fashions accompanying the shoes were equally impressive, expertly curated to showcase each pair’s unique style and flair.
