It’s a treat for Denver to have ModCloth In Real Life (#ModClothIRL) right here in our own backyard! There’s about a week left of this beautiful vintage inspired fashion and accessories to be in our community!

I had the chance to pop by and get styled by the amazing stylists. We filled up a dressing room and I tried on the latest in fashion from this iconic boutique. I love to shop and have been to boutiques all over the US and beyond and I have to say, fashions from ModCloth are truly unique and style like theirs, cannot be found anywhere! A true throwback with a modern twist!

A trip with the Urban Angels

June 16, 2016 bshigley Leave a comment

We are honored to work with The Urban Angels on their amazing dress drive! We delivered 55 dresses that were handmade by these amazing women! We stopped by to check out The Action Center and all the amazing ways they serve those in need in the Jefferson County area.

It takes at least 80 volunteers daily to run this facility. Places like #Walmart, #WholeFoods, #TraderJoes, and #Sprouts donate to The Action Center so families can get healthy food, clothes, and household items.

Please donate! They are in need of children’s clothing and men’s clothing! … Read more!

Fashion Denver Fashion Camp

Our next camp takes place on Saturday, May 28th!
Click here or details..

On March 19th, we held our fashion camp for fashionistas between the ages of 5-15 and had an action packed day of fun!

Our campers learned about inner beauty and being kind with Denver Style Magazine editor Heather Okimoto. They learned how to introduce themselves and compliment each other in a way that led to new friendships. It was so much fun to see this transpire!

Next Jeremy Willard and I (Brandi Shigley) shared our upcycle designs and our campers went to work, sketching and making their own designs. A beautiful mess of creativity filled up our headquarters at Green Spaces.

Model, pop singer, stylist, and producer Dorian Phaero taught our campers how to walk the runway being confident and fierce.

After they learned the walk, it was off to hair and makeup!

After hair and makeup were done, it was time to walk the runway!

We had such a wonderful time! Thank you to all of you who participated in the event and for giving your young fashionista an opportunity to dive into the fashion world!

Thank you to our team:

Young fashionistas visit the FDHQ

January 12, 2016 bshigley Leave a comment

What a fun morning! Today I had 3 girls between the ages of 6-10 over to our headquarters. These girls go to a school called the Logan School and they get to chose a subject that they are passionate about and explore hands on. These 3 young fashionistas all want to be fashion designers and are well on their way. Even the 6-year old is already sewing!

They asked me wonderful questions…
What does beauty mean to me?
What inspires me style?
How do I produce a fashion show?
What are some things that go wrong when a fashion show happens?
What is my favorite color?

So inquisitive, creative and fun!

I shared with them the history of Fashion Denver and how I got my start in the fashion world as a handbag designer at the age of 9. I showed them my paper purse drivers license that later led me to have my own handbag business b.shigley designs that ended up going international within the first year! Wow.. it’s hard to believe that was 17 years ago!

I think it’s so important to share our journey and inspire others. I wish that I would have had somebody to show … Read more!

Winter fashion at our HQ in Green Spaces

January 11, 2016 bshigley Leave a comment

We’ve had our office housed in Fashion Denver since July and have seen the fashions change over the seasons. Now that we are in the middle of winter, our fashion sense has changed to accomodate the chilly, sometimes snowy, icy weather.

Here are some of the fashions that people were rockin’ today!

Mande looks ever so stylish in her poofy jacket and the bling on her sweater?! LOVE IT! This is the first time she hasn’t worn her sorels in 2 weeks. “I’ve never in worn Sorels before 2 weeks ago, and now that’s all I seem to wear.”

I’m wearing my vintage hand-me-down dress, stocking cap and leather gloves with a furry faux-bear jacket that I thrifted at Goodwill for $5.00. These boots aren’t great for this weather though.. I have to walk where there is no ice.
