National Designers: DFW 2018

March 26, 2018 – Fashion and excitement filled the room as airplanes surrounded the exterior of the hanger. 303 Magazine hosted the first ever Denver Fashion WEEK March 18-25th. Taking place at Wings Over the Rockies, the venue was rejuvenating and the fashion was better than ever. This monumental moment in Denver fashion only proves the progression and growth of interest in the fashion industry. Saturday, March 24th, included a few local stores and designers as well as renowned national designers from New York. These are the looks I was LIVING for!

Velvet Wolf (Denver) started off the show with simple, casual looks that could kill. I am a major fan of leather pants/leggings because of their ability to elevate an outfit with ease. You could never go wrong with a graphic tee, especially a black one. I thought the casual vibe of the opener really set the tone for the rest of the designs.

This nontraditional black trench coat had me rethinking the way I buy and wear my trenches. Kouture, a locally based designer consignment store, brought out a bangin’ piece to start out their segment. Styled with the collar up, I couldn’t get enough of this … Read more!

Outfits Made of PAPER?! The Paper Fashion Show DFW 2018

March 26, 2018 – Who knew that paper could be cut, stapled, and put back together to make whole dresses and outfits? Friday, March 23rd, marked a day Denver fashion will never forget. The 14th annual ONE Paper Fashion Show challenged all preconceived notions that clothing has to be made out of materials like cotton with a thread and needle. From participants like various design students to local artists, partial proceeds from this event benefit the Downtown Aurora Visual Arts program. This organization helps provide after-school art programs for at-risk youth. Spicers Paper, along with other paper mills, donate and support these designers in their creative passions. Seemingly, fashion for a good cause can’t get any better, but when unconventional, paper outfits are apart of it, it can. Here are some of my favorite looks:

This dress was full of texture and 3-D elements that made it come to life in the most electrifying way. Designed by Unsung Wolves, this dress emulated my multiple armed sea friends and I felt like I was watching Ursula, from The Little Mermaid, come to life. The layering and depth was intricate and the flow of the hanging pieces followed the model like a … Read more!

Pretty up your Princess Leia buns; we’ve got an uhmazing space themed morning coming your way. #wecomeinpeace✌👽

Did you know that 1 in 4 Americans report having zero friends to confide in? It’s a scary stat, BUT what if we used this as rocketfuel for a collective mission to better embrace every being in the milky way?

On Wednesday, March 28th, spacesuit up and let’s fly away to better places. We’re on a mission to recolonize space with more love, more belonging and more DANCE. It all begins on the dancefloor at Temple (after all, change starts where you’re standing). We’ll have a pre-party option of yoga with Yoga Pod Cherry Creek OR fitness with The willPower Method (ooo decisions, decisions), then we’ll dance until we fill up the room with a level of love that’s lightyears ahead of the norm.

See you on the dancefloor. 💃

Luxe 303 Photoshoot

February 23, 2018 – What started off as a chilly, under-the-weather morning turned into a spunky day of unique fashion. I was lucky enough to shoot with Luxe303, an eclectic line forming from the heat of Miami flavor and tied into the earthy, urban tones of Denver. Their pieces are carefully constructed, distinct, and made for anyone to rock. Ever since I attended their show back in November, I was awe-inspired by their creative way of introducing Miami to the 303. I wanted to share some of the breathtaking photos and pieces I got to wear during the shoot.

This first look featured the “Feather and Lapel Dress.” Its mix of contemporary on top with party on the bottom offers the perfect dress to wear to a business event, a date, or even brunch with the girls. The feathered bottom is timeless yet still wearable, something that is hard to nail when dealing with feather details. Mastermind Dani Tado had the dress created in black, making it a sleek, classic look. When paired with the most adorable lace socks with a satin ribbon around the ankle and black patent heels, this look was so versatile and sophisticated.  This next … Read more!
