A Day in the Life of Fashion Denver

Fashion Denver turns 22!!

Hello 2026… How Did We Get Here?!

Holy moly. How are we in 2026 already?!

This year, Fashion Denver turns 22 years old. Twenty-two. That means this little fashion idea that started in 2004 is officially old enough to rent a car and make responsible decisions.

Established in 2004

Fashion Denver was founded with one simple goal: connect Colorado designers with the public — and with each other.

At the time, Denver wasn’t widely recognized as a fashion destination. But something was brewing. Independent designers were creating incredible work, and they needed a platform. A connector. A cheerleader. A place to belong.

So Fashion Denver stepped in.

Over the years, we’ve produced:
• Fashion markets
• Runway shows
• Designer showcases
• Business development programs
• Workshops and mentoring

We even had a brick-and-mortar boutique for four years — a physical home for Colorado design. And along the way, we helped launch Bradley Allen Apparel and ran the apparel line for six years, growing it from idea to full-fledged brand.

What started as a grassroots effort became a movement.

Fashion Denver Interview: Rossi V From Yoga Mat to Runway Pit

Some creative relationships quietly weave themselves over time, waiting for the right moment to bloom.

We first met Rossi V over a decade ago through a mutual friend who loved yoga. Over the years, we stayed loosely connected, crossing paths here and there, cheering each other on from a distance. But when Rossi shared her growing interest in photography, something clicked for us. We’ve always known her as deeply multi-talented, so of course we wanted to see what she was creating behind the lens.

This season marked our first time officially working together at Denver Fashion Week with Rossi photographing and it felt both brand new and long overdue. We caught up with Rossi to talk about her creative path, her yoga-informed perspective, and that undeniable moment when photography and fashion aligned.

Check out all of Rossi’s DFW pictures here! 

From Yoga Mat to Runway Pit

How does your background as a yoga instructor influence the way you approach shooting fashion?

As an artist, I’ve always loved the human form. Drawing it, sculpting it, photographing it. Yoga just deepened the way I pay attention to people. Teaching yoga made me more aware of posture, breath, and the subtle ways energy … Read more!

The Beasties Photo Exhibition — Opening December 5th!

We are so excited to attend the kick off First Friday with a bold, imaginative, and fashion-fueled new exhibition: “The Beasties” — a collaborative photo series brought to life by designer and creative visionary Mona Lucero and photographer EJ Carr.

Last October, Mona set out to transform her original “Beasties” story into something visual, vibrant, and full of character. Together with EJ Carr behind the lens, the team built an entire world—equal parts art, fashion, attitude, and imagination. The result? A stunning collection of images that invite you into Mona’s storytelling universe, where garments become characters and creativity takes center stage.

This show also features the artistry of:

And of course, the incredible models and team who brought these characters to life.
