April 27th and 28th
Tony P’s
777 E. 17th Avenue
Denver, CO

The Fashion Denver community and Tony P’s collide in a clash of color, melting local fashion and Italian culture together for a weekend of fashion fun. Happening Saturday night, April 27^th, and Sunday day, April 28^th, Paninaro<<Rewind will be held at the newTony P’s uptown location, 777 E. 17^th Avenue. These events are free and open to the public.

Each week, Tony P’s hosts a night called Paninaro: A night to celebrate an era of Italian 80s culture that elevated fashion, beauty, music, film, and general “cool-ness”. On April 27^th, Fashion Denver will join in on the fun by kicking off the spring fashion market with a preview fashion show. Local designers will show off their Paninaro inspired fashions during the fashion show on Paninaro night, and attendees will get a chance to preview some of the designs that they will want to purchase the next day at the fashion market. Besides local fashion, there will be plenty of 80′s music, bright colors, and Italian flair emanating throughout the upstairs of Tony P’s. Paninaro begins at 8:00pm,and there is no cover (the event is a 21+ affair).

Then, the following day (April 28^th), Fashion Denver’s spring market (also held at Tony P’s) will present an opportunity for Denver fashionistas to see and shop through over 20 local designers. And when the fashionistas need to take a breather from shopping, they can watch a fashion show, order some delicious food, and even grab an afternoon cocktail. Fashion shows will be held at 1, 3, and 5pm and will feature models from Avant Tout Models with hair and makeup done by neighboring 3 Little Birds Salon,

This exciting new partnership between Fashion Denver and Tony P’s is sure to be a success, as both Fashion Denver and Tony P’s share a love for entrepreneurship in Denver. Paninaro<<Rewind is about going back in time. Tony P’s will be going back to a fun era of Italian culture. Fashion Denver will be going back to the original aim of fashion markets: Exploring unique venues, and bringing new designers to the forefront of the local fashion scene. Brandi Shigley and Tony P’s owner, Tony Pasquini, are thrilled to be working together for the first time. “My restaurants have always been about embracing diversity and fueling creativity. We feel fortunate at Tony P’s 17^th Ave. to be a supporter of Fashion Denver, Brandi, and all the fabulous entrepreneurs that make Fashion Denver such a great endeavor”, says Pasquini.
