No matter how you identify, we’re inviting all humans (and unicorn humans) to come dance for our first-ever evening experience at DUSK.🌙
Every once in a while something comes across my Instagram feed that not only inspires me and entertains me but also has me thinking how talented people are with their words, opinions, and way that they can so seamlessly put together an insta story that captivates the reader / viewer!
This is how I felt when Mackenzie Roseland’s Insta Story on The Met Ball came across my feed. Her passion for fashion clearly comes across with entertaining commentary that makes me laugh. I seriously could see Mackenzie with her own little show on fashion and culture! Be sure to follow Mackenzie on Insta. You will for sure be entertained with her beautiful images, outtake on life, and hilarious commentary!
PS! Mackenzie was one of our photographers covering the Red Ball last fall! We love her work!
Now… on with Mackenzie’s wrap up on The Met Ball!
For anyone who is involved or remotely interested in the fashion industry at large, the “First Monday in May” is practically a national holiday. The Met Ball, or more formally known as the Costume Institute Gala, is an annual fundraising event to benefit the Metropolitan Museum of Art‘s Costume Institute and marks the … Read more!
Sometimes, all you need to take away a stressful week is a good movie. When I had a chance to see an early screening of Long Shot with Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen, I said, “Oh heck yes!!” and I’m so glad I did! This movie had me laughing from the first 5 minutes. Besides being a Seth Rogen fan, the chemistry between Theron and Rogen was so real and vulnerable and lovely. The cast was perfect!! My heart was really drawn to O’Shea Jackson Jr.’s character!!
I don’t want to give anything away but if you have to see one movie this spring, SEE THIS ONE!!! If I had 6 thumbs, they’d all be up!!! I loved it! An action packed rom com full of fun!!! Oh! And on the fashion side of things, I was obsessed with Seth’s (Fred) jacket the entire movie. I’m kind of geeking out that I now own a similar Long Shot #Windbreaker ! #LongShot#Denver… Read more!
Denver Fashion Week. The ultimate occasion to celebrate an exciting industry. I was more than eager to attend and discover how Denver defines fashion by observing not only the designers’ creations but the style of attendees as well. Always curious about the type of people that go to esteemed fashion shows, I was looking forward to seeing the types of clothes that guests felt were Fashion Week worthy.
I was pleased to find that throughout the week, the designers expressed a wide variety of styles. There was everything from dainty dresses, to loud pops of color, to slouchy street wear. I was also surprised to find that a substantial portion of the designers conveyed dark themes through their color, music, and message choices. The most memorable example of these contrasting styles was on the last night. After a stream of delicate dresses, the mood suddenly changed when a new collection kicked off with a sleek pant suit paired with equally bad ass sunglasses and ponytail, set to the type of music that calls to mind a James Bond film.
Before DFW, I never thought to consider how designers bring their looks to life beyond hair, makeup, and accessories. As the … Read more!
We’ve all found ourselves staring disappointedly at our closet of (too many) clothes, exasperated by the utter lack of things to wear. Recycled couture may be the perfect solution to switch things up and refresh your style. How about a dress made of movie tickets? Or a jacket made from packing materials? The young designers featured at Trash the Runway blew me away with their innovative manipulation of such challenging fabric to create chic apparel.
Before attending the event, I was unaware the designers were only in middle school and high school. I was shocked by the bold styles and personalities of the young artists. Their excitement was contagious as they proudly strutted their stuff for the adoring crowd. When asked about their work, almost every designer commented on how long it took them or how they had to repeatedly start over because of the frustratingly unique textiles.
The contestants were critiqued based on categories such as functionality and innovation, winning titles that included crowd favorite and best overall. There was a wide variety of ensembles decorated with everything from winged accessories to Victorian-style neck pieces. However, I was most impressed by the grand prize winner’s creation. In the blur … Read more!
