Fashion Denver will host a handful of designers at the 303 Magazine White Party next Thursday, August 18th at the Riviera at Breakers Resort! Cara Diane + Co is one of our featured designers and we are happy to have her on board. She was part of our fall market last year and between now and then, she’s had a baby and is back in action as a designer!

Cara DianeWhat were your obsessions growing up? 

 #1 Any type of craft project.

I could spend hours on beads or shrinky dinks (I think I still can). I remember spending days at a time at my grandma’s house over holidays and summer break so she would teach me how to sew.

#2 I was smitten with being an entrepreneur and starting a businesses.

Even as a young kid I remember setting up a lemonade stand and being impatient waiting for people to come to me, so the next time I made homemade pretzels and took them door to door to sell in my little wagon.

I think for me, Cara Diane + Co. is a perfect intersection of both those passions.  

#3 Candy. Cake. Sugar. And anything sweet.

1. What were your obsessions growing up?

Growing up, I was obsessed with cats and unicorns. My drawings always had one or the other. I also loved babies – any kind of baby. I had a pink stuffed cat with a velcro pouch in it’s stomach that contained kittens. It was totally weird but I loved that cat like nobody’s business.

2. How did fashion become the symbol for your creative expression?

When I look back, fashion has always been the symbol of my creative expression. I remember being in elementary school and pausing the Sound of Music frame by frame so that I could draw each of the children’s outfits, the clothing Fraulein Maria made from the leftover drapery material. Interestingly, I drew … Read more!

1) When did you first realize your passion for the beauty industry?

Growing up my mother worked at a salon in North Dallas. I would spend many days during the summer helping out around the salon while admiring all the beautiful transformations that happened daily. I’ve always found joy in bringing women confidence they forgot they had, it always came naturally to me. Choosing a career in the beauty industry was a no brainer when the time came.

2) What has been your path thus far in your career?

I got my cosmetology license just after my senior year in high school and spent 3 years going back and forth between doing hair and makeup. I discovered and fell in love with individual eyelash extensions in 2012. Shortly after … Read more!

TRIBE’s launch party
August 6th, 2016, 5-7:30pm
Posner Center for International Development
1031 33rd St., Denver, CO 80205

You are personally invited to the August 6th official launch of TRIBE—a global, socially conscious fashion line that is being created right here in Denver, but that will have a global impact.

INDIEGOGO COVER PHOTO-1

Envisioned and dreamed into life by Rebecca Taylor (fashion designer) and Sarah Hidey (international development consultant)—two good friends with a common vision of empowering women—TRIBE has a mission to provide opportunities to women around the world through the provision of job skills and ethical employment in the fashion industry. Specifically, TRIBE plans to partner with fair-trade nonprofits and sewing studios to employ women with barriers to employment both in the United States, and, eventually, in Cambodia. 

Our brand can be summed up in three phrases:

 Locally Designed: The co-founders of TRIBE are Denver residents. Designed by Rebecca Taylor, TRIBE’s collection has classic and modern styles that women of all ages will adore. TRIBE partners with local social enterprises, such as We Made This (employing refugees) and Sox Place Screen Printing (employing homeless youth) for the production of select items. Other partnerships are in development.

Globally Inspired:… Read more!
