A Day in the Life of Fashion Denver, Interviews

Interview with photographer Darryl Christensen

I’m staying inspired by looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. There are aspects from a photography perspective that have certainly been suppressed due to the pandemic. Once we collectively get through this, I’m excited to take advantage of those things that I haven’t been able to do these last 9 months.
-Darryl Miller Christensen

From 2015-2020, the Fashion Denver office was inside co-share workspace, Green Spaces and it was there that I got to connect with some absolutely amazing individuals! Darryl’s desk was right around the corner from mine and when you are in close proximity to creativity, you can’t help but be inspired! I knew that Darryl was a software developer by trade, but it wasn’t until I kept seeing these amazing photos that he took, pop up on his instagram, and I knew I wanted to experience and be part of the brilliant work that Darryl does.

I pulled out some of my favorite outfits and we had one of the most fun shoots at our downtown loft. Shooting with Darryl was so much fun and it truly was a gift for my soul to have this shoot. You can see the entire shoot … Read more!

Interview with William Maestas

One of my most favorite things about working in the fashion industry, and for as long as I have (20 years), is seeing the up and comers up and come! I’ve met students that have gone on to pursue successful careers in fashion and it inspires me like crazy!

Where did you and I first connect?

– You and I first connected 8 years ago in 2012 at the 4th Annual Red Ball when I was 19. I was a model in the show for Francis Roces (Kimono Dragons). This was only the second fashion show I had ever walked in. At this point I had already been involved in 20+ photo shoots for my portfolio with photographers in Colorado Springs and Denver.
How has your evolution of fashion changed since I very first met you? I feel like it was many years ago when you were a young student!

TRASH THE RUNWAY® RECYCLED COUTURE IS GOING VIRTUAL

FOR ITS 11th YEAR, TRASH THE RUNWAY® RECYCLED COUTURE IS GOING VIRTUAL

Trash the Runway®, traditionally a sold-out live runway show competition, is going online! Tune in on June 30TH at 7 pm MST on Boulder8TV or at  fundraisingeverywhere.com/trashtherunway for TTR virtual, which will deliver the haute-est recycled couture yet.

BOULDER, COLORADO – Every Spring, for the past ten years, young designers from around the Denver Metro Area have worked tirelessly to create stunning couture for the Trash the Runway® (TTR) fashion show and competition. There is always a range of fashion from sweeping evening gowns to whimsical leisure attire. The presentation is stunning, the young designers who attend local middle and high schools are poised perfection, and the designs themselves are made entirely of recycled and found materials. Evening gowns have been made from materials like old trampoline mats and pantsuits from discarded exercise bands. One winning garment from last year’s competition was painstakingly made from thousands of gum wrappers.

The 11th annual TTR show was scheduled to happen on March 17, 2020 at Macky Auditorium on the University of Colorado campus in Boulder, Colorado. Over 1,000 tickets had been sold and the excitement was percolating, … Read more!
