Sizzlin’ 6 with B.Fresh {Featured Splash Designers}

Leave a comment

I fell in love with the accessories that the B.Fresh guys make! Their designs are full of color, fun and style! We got a chance to catch up with one of the brains behind B.Fresh, Brian Blake!

B.Fresh will be at our summer market SPLASH this Sunday and we’re asking them 6 sizzlin’ questions!

What were your obsessions growing up?

Lite Brite, Legos, marbles, ninja turtles, Simpsons, basketball, hip hop, and Weird Al!

How did fashion become the symbol for your creative expression?

b.freshJon and I both always dressed odd for the times. We had a dress code in high school (khakis, collared shirts, and dress shoes) so in response we both found the loudest most ridiculous items that conformed to the rules but still oozed flavor and personality. I was dubbed ‘skittles’ by some of my classmates because I would find color coordinating shirts and pants. I had matching yellow/blue/red/purple collard shirts and yellow/blue/red/purple khakis. We definitely had a lot of fun with our fashion and spent most of our money at Savers. So in that sense fashion became a part of our identity.

A trip with the Urban Angels

We are honored to work with The Urban Angels on their amazing dress drive! We delivered 55 dresses that were handmade by these amazing women! We stopped by to check out The Action Center and all the amazing ways they serve those in need in the Jefferson County area.

It takes at least 80 volunteers daily to run this facility. Places like #Walmart, #WholeFoods, #TraderJoes, and #Sprouts donate to The Action Center so families can get healthy food, clothes, and household items.

Please donate! They are in need of children’s clothing and men’s clothing! … Read more!

Fashion Camp May Edition Photobooth Recap

Leave a comment

We had such a wonderful fashion camp last month! One of the fun components of our last fashion camp was working with Ilya Kushnir and his company ‪#‎BoothYa‬! C.Stephan of 4:42 Studios conceptualized the idea to have the campers take photos of themselves in the photobooth and then trace their photo so they could design their fashion piece onto their sketch. Fun ensued throughout the day! A HUGE thank you to non for your generous donation in making this idea happen!

 

Our next fashion camp is happening Saturday July 23rd! Click for details!… Read more!

Sizzlin’ 6 questions with Splash Designer Denise Dailey

Leave a comment

Denise Dailey, brains behind Prompt Flare Designs and OCH Couture will be joining us at SPLASH, our summer fashion market powered by 303 Magazine! Join us June 26th for an afternoon of fashion fun by the pool!

 Denise DaileyWhat were your obsessions growing up?

Color! I would color coordinate everything about my clothes and accessories… I loved matching everything together. I also loved transforming my jacket into my personalized style by applying studs and jewels and wearing my aunt’s brooches .

How did fashion become the symbol for your creative expression?

As a portrait sculpture artist, adding colorful flowers for the hair naturally evolved into wearable art- Hair made from fabric, tulle, ribbon and other materials made for a runway statement maker. And is still evolving with our belts,purses and earrings.

Do you see a stylistic connection between the things you do in your daily life that is reflected into your collections? 

Definitely! I see inspiration for styles in plants, bushes, flowers and trees. I see humorous t-shirts made from life’s moments. I love looking at purses and the way women use them. I get inspired thinking about ways to design and add better functionality.
