Fashion Denver Celebrates Dogmata Unleashed 🐶 🐾🎨

DOGMATA!

At Fashion Denver, we adore our four-legged friends, and when art, dogs, and community collide? We’re so there! That’s why we’re howling with excitement about the return of Dogmata Unleashed—Denver’s iconic celebration of canine-inspired creativity and compassion.

After 21 years, Dogmata is back and fluffier than ever—bigger, feistier, and filled with tail-wagging joy! Mark your calendars for Sunday, September 28th, 2025, from 12pm to 4pm, and get ready for a paws-itively awesome day at Prismajic inside Colorado Mills Mall (near the movie theater), where immersive art and wagging tails go paw in paw.

🐕 What’s Dogmata Unleashed All About?

Created by a passionate pack of Denver artists, Dogmata is a one-of-a-kind charity event that transforms love for dogs into vibrant, meaningful art. This year’s festivities support Hobo Boxer Rescue and Red Fern Animal Rescue, with 100% of silent auction proceeds going directly to help pups in need.

🎨🐾 Event Highlights:

  • Dog-themed silent auction featuring original works by local legends like Mario Acevedo, Eric Matelski, AJ Duncan, and more!

  • A dog fashion show that puts the “paws” in applause (YES PLEASE!)

  • An expanded Yappy Hour for both humans and hounds 🐕🍹

  • Live music, vendor booths,

✨ Thank You for Making Fashion Camp Totally Awesome! ✨

What an unforgettable day we had at Fashion Camp—bursting with creativity, sparkle, and 80s flair! 💖✂️👗

From the moment the kiddos arrived, we could feel the buzz of excitement in the air. It was a day filled with crafting, styling, walking the runway, and letting imaginations run wild. Whether they were bedazzling, patching denim, or strutting their stuff, these campers absolutely shined.

But none of this magic would have been possible without YOU—our incredible community of parents, volunteers, and partners. So, let’s give a huge round of applause (and maybe a confetti toss 🎉) to:

🌟 Our Amazing Partners:

  • Tony at Fifty-Two 80’s
    Thank you for sharing your epic 80’s toy collection during show-and-tell! Even if the kids thought the Cabbage Patch Kid was a little creepy (LOL), your retro treasures sparked so much curiosity and fun conversation. You took us on a tubular trip down memory lane, and we loved every second!

  • Sarah the Sparkle Queen
    Your Fairy Hair station added pure MAGIC to the day! You brought the shimmer, the shine, and a whole lot of sparkle to our campers’ looks. ✨

  • Dagny & Malia – Our Teen Glam Squad
    These two brought serious talent
