I’m Back: Alaska Adventures, COVID Recovery, and Fashion on the Horizon!

Hello, Fashion Denver family! 🌟

Brandi McMichael

After an absolutely breathtaking adventure to Alaska, I’m back and ready to dive headfirst into all things fashion! My trip wasn’t just about sightseeing; it was deeply personal and filled with unforgettable moments. From walking on a glacier to flying over the Kenai in my husband’s uncle’s plane, to spreading my momma’s ashes in the majestic Alaskan wilderness, it was a journey with family and wonder. I also got to visit all the old spots my husband grew up exploring, which made the trip even more meaningful.

But what truly made it special was getting my dad back up to Alaska! He used to be a pilot there years ago, so seeing him return to the place where he once soared through the skies felt like a full-circle moment. It was an incredible adventure filled with family, memories, and love.

Of course, my journey took a little unexpected turn with COVID (even I couldn’t escape it!), but after some downtime to recover and reflect, I’m feeling stronger and more inspired than ever!

Now that I’m back, I can’t wait to dive into what’s coming for Fashion Denver. Here’s a sneak peek of what’s on the … Read more!

Interview with Nikki Strickler, runway producer for DFW

We’re thrilled to introduce Nikki Strickler, the visionary runway producer for Denver Fashion Week’s upcoming Designer Challenge. In this interview, we’ll delve into her unique approach to fashion production, and uncover what makes this Designer Challenge particularly special. Join us as Nikki shares her insights, challenges, and the excitement that goes into crafting one of Denver’s most anticipated fashion events.

Nikki StricklerWhat inspired you to create the Designer Challenge, and how does it fit into the larger vision for Denver Fashion Week?

The Emerging Designer Challenge was created to support and elevate Denver’s growing and diverse fashion scene. Many local designers just beginning their brands have the talent to be successful, but are missing the platform to get their designs in front of more eyes. It’s a one of a kind experience for smaller brands to showcase their talent without worry of getting overshadowed by recognizable names. We involve the audience and a panel of industry professionals as judges to choose the two brands who will get to present a full collection at Denver Fashion Week Fall 2024. As much as we love our well known fashion designers in Denver, it’s always exciting to have some guaranteed new, fresh talent in … Read more!
