Amazing opportunity for a boutique or up and coming small business

What an amazing opportunity this is for somebody who wants to take over a small apparel business! Read the letter from Mike below. Mike and his fiance are getting ready to head out on an amazing adventure to Australia and want to see their business go into good hands!

Esoterik (Adj.): understood by and meant for only the select few; belonging to an inner circle. Esoterik is a lifestyle-brand clothing company; the product of diligence, creative persistence, and an ability to tend unfailingly and unflinchingly towards a goal…

esoterikStacey and I started Esoterik in 2006 and had a great amount of success as young entrepreneurs. After having accomplished numerous goals, it’s now time for us to pursue new endeavors and challenges. In fact, these new endeavors are taking us to Australia at the end of February! With such a big change in location we are going to have to part ways with the company.

We have poured heart and soul into creating Esoterik so we want to see it go to a good home! All of the clothes are extremely high quality, trendy and unique. The garments are sourced from American Apparel and Alternative Apparel… no Hanes Beefy T’s here! … Read more!

Our art dept. is organizing a school-wide, full-day event featuring the arts. We are looking for artists of all different styles and media to come and share their talents with our elementary school students for a day. It is our hope, that by gathering many different artists from the surrounding area, we can help to foster and instill a lasting interest in a subject that often gets overlooked in schools: THE ARTS!!!

Basically, you would be presenting your art work and engaging the students in an activity of your choice with several classes of students. Classes will be supervised by Jefferson Academy Faculty/Staff, so there is no reason to be intimidated if teaching is not your thing.

Maya gets caught up on all of the exciting events that Fashion Denver is participating in and gives us a wrap up!

Denver, CO 80206

Fashion Denver is beyond excited to present this fashion documentary! Set in 1973 in Versailles, France(ooh-la-la!), the film shows the stunning designs of Givenchy, Dior, Ungaro, Yves Saint Laurent, and Pierre Cardin (Vive la France!), as well as Halston, Oscar de la Renta, Anne Klein, Stephen Burrows, and Bill Blass (USA! USA!). And when a group of African American models board the plane to walk the runway in France, they make more than a fashion statement. They make a statement about the changing times, and end up putting African Models (and American fashion) on the map.

As if that didn’t sound exciting enough, the post-film reception and fashion show is sure to be marvelous! Fashion Denver’s own Brandi Shigley and her band B.Sue will be serenading your earholes, and the talented designers Gabriela Martinez and Sahar Pazirandeh are going to be showing off some beautiful designs. … Read more!
