Quick note!!

I, Brandi McMichael was born in Manila, Philippines, and adopted as a baby before growing up here in Colorado — a blend of Filipino roots and Rocky Mountain spirit that has shaped everything I do.

As the founder of Fashion Denver, I’ve spent over two decades immersed in fashion, community building, and creative entrepreneurship. I love celebrating the beauty of culture and connection through my work — and events like Likha ng Lahi hold such a special place in my heart. They remind me of where I come from, the journey that brought me here, and the incredible artistry that flows through the Filipino community both here and abroad. 🇵🇭

I’m so excited to attend this event!!

Filipino-American History Month is about to strut the runway — and Denver is about to witness a spectacular celebration of heritage and style!

On October 19, 2025, starting at 10:30 AM, the History Colorado Center will come alive with vibrant textiles, handcrafted artistry, and the unmistakable pride of Filipino creativity.

Presented by NaFFAA Colorado, Likha … Read more!

The Roses Movie Screening at SIE Film Center: A Night of Fashion, Friends, and Film

When Fashion Blooms: A Rose-Inspired Night at The Roses

Last night was such a treat at the special screening of The Roses at the SIE Film Center! 🎬✨

Fashion and film are such natural partners—both tell stories, spark imagination, and let us see life from different angles. And when it comes to The Roses, the reimagined tale of love, ambition, and unraveling facades, there was no shortage of drama, style, and laughter.

The Roses team really outdid themselves with the goody bags! 🎁 Instead of a flimsy shopping tote, we were gifted a Land’s End tote bag—sturdy, stylish, and actually useful with deep pockets, a zipper closure, and the perfect everyday size. (I’m already using mine today!) Inside was such a thoughtful mix of treats: a beautifully decorated cookie, a sparkling little candle, a jar of spicy seafood seasoning (a playful nod to Olivia’s character as a chef at We’ve Got Crabs! 🦀), and of course, a single red rose to tie it all together. 🌹 It was the kind of bag you’ll keep and actually use—practical, fashionable, and full of charm.

🌹 Inspired by Roses (the Dress!)

In true Fashion Denver style, I leaned into the theme … Read more!
