Invitation to Linger: Where art meets fashion

One of our biggest inspirations is seeing amazingly creative people come together in collaboration and this show looks to be amazing! Let’s learn about Invitation to Linger featuring a star-studded cast of Denver creatives!

Invitation to Linger shows at D’art Gallery, located at 900 Santa Fe Drive in Denver, from January 18 to February 12, 2024.

Can you provide an overview of the concept and vision behind this fashion mixed with art show?

Invitation to Linger explores landscapes, both interior and exterior. Inspired by memories, feelings, scenes, and experiences, the artists invite you to pause and enjoy. Works in acrylic and mixed media by James-Allan Holmes, Jenny Wilson, and Karla Raines draw the viewer in while they extend the surface out. 

The artists invited two local creatives to enrich the visitor experience. The eye is delighted by art and fashion pairings featuring one-of-a-kind creations from Mona Lucero. Richly embellished jackets and headpieces intermingle with the paintings. Taste-maker Tammy Abramovitz brings an eye for stylish composition as guest curator.

DENVER — (Sept 27, 2023) Clothing designer Brooks LTD, Chrissy Liu Jewelry, and milliner Miss Victoria Regina just announced an exclusive two-day only fashion trunk show to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer.

By uniting glamour and goodwill, this unique collaboration promises to showcase a collection of exquisite designs from each designer in an unforgettable historical setting. Each designer is bringing a special selection of her jewelry, hats and headwear, or ready-to wear items; Brooks LTD, run by breast cancer-survivor Brooks Luby, has created one-of-a- kind wearable items specifically for the event.

Very nearly “couture for a cause,” a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Littleton-based nonprofit Hope Held by a Horse, an organization that emotionally supports women with breast cancer by providing healing horses for animal therapy so women can learn, grow, and heal.

Hosted at the Brooks LTD atelier, attendees can contribute to a meaningful cause while shopping, mingling, enjoying light refreshments and drinks, and potentially … Read more!
