Emily Bormann, welcome to the team!

We are thrilled to bring Emily Bormann on board with Fashion Denver! Emily is our public relations intern, Fashion Denver blogger and will also be assisting with fashion event production, as well as sharing her fashion tips! Welcome to the team!

At a young age, Emily knew she wanted to be involved in the fashion industry. Playing with paper dolls and Barbies quickly turned into filling her school notebooks with all sorts of fashion sketches. As the time for college applications approached, Emily knew only one true love, fashion design.

Colorado State University furthered her passion, where she studied Apparel Design and Production. She became involved in: assisting in the production of fashion shows, learning to create and sew garments, illustrating new design ideas, designing unique and innovative textiles, and finally creating her own line for her senior capstone.

Her college experience came to an end following an internship working at Zac Posen in New York, however Emily knew this was actually the beginning of her career in fashion. After spending a year working with a local custom clothing company, she had the opportunity to showcase a design for Westword’s Atropia Fashion Show. Now, Emily finds herself furthering her fashion … Read more!

TEDx and Do what you love!

Much of my time since closing up the retail shop is dedicated to helping dreamers become doers. One of my biggest passions is sharing my journey as an entrepreneur and providing the tools, inspiration, and motivation to take your passions and turn it into something. Last year I had the wonderful opportunity to join the TED family at TEDx Crestmoor Park by being one of the presenters. You may know the TED TALKS videos and if you don’t, check them out as there is so much inspiration in these presentations!

This is a tiny little snippit of what I teach in my “Do what you love. Love what you do” workshop and the next one is coming up Wednesday, October 17th from 6:30-9:30.

September is here!

Hello Fashion Denver friends! I’m heading out of town this week to good ol’ Dawson, Minnesota to celebrate my Grandmother’s 101 years of living. She passed away peacefully yesterday. Hazel was a huge inspiration to me and taught me how to sew, craft, bake, sing, play bingo, and so much more. We will be posting more fashion when we get back.

Until then, have a great week!… Read more!
