HAUS Solo Debut: A Bold and Transformative Showcase of Gender-Affirming Fashion

DENVER, CO – Fresh from a successful debut at New York Fashion Week, HAUS, the Black and queer-owned urban contemporary clothing brand, is bringing its groundbreaking Spring/Summer Collection to Denver. On Friday, December 27th, Creative Designer and HAUS founder Michael Sullivan will unveil “Then & NOW” at The Savoy (2700 Arapahoe St, Denver, CO 80205). Doors open at 6:30 PM, and the show begins at 7:20 PM.

“Then & NOW” features Sullivan’s signature design aesthetic—an innovative blend of couture and streetwear silhouettes that embrace asymmetry and whimsical tailoring. This collection draws inspiration from transformative symbols like black butterflies, representing rebirth, hope, and resilience after hardship. It pays homage to pivotal cultural moments, from the Civil Rights era and the affluence of the Black Ivy League to the contributions of Black and Brown queer and trans individuals across history.

“For me, ‘Then & NOW’ is about examining what’s changed in fashion—and what hasn’t,” Sullivan explains. “It’s an invitation for all of us, especially BiPOC communities, to ask: Are we truly sharing spaces with BiPOC queer and trans individuals, who have been integral to these movements all along?”

Redefining Inclusivity in Fashion

HAUS isn’t just about bold designs—it’s about breaking barriers. … Read more!
