Brandi McMichael Takes the Reins at CreativeMornings Denver

Hey, Denver creatives! It’s me, Brandi McMichael, formerly Brandi Shigley – yahooooo, I took the plunge and got hitched! But that’s not the only exciting news I’ve got for you. In case you haven’t heard, I’ve officially taken the reins as the Executive Producer of CreativeMornings Denver. What started as a co-hosting and shadowing alongside the fantastic Dave Momper has now become a full-blown love affair with Denver’s creative community.

For those who know me as the founder of Fashion Denver, you know I’ve always been passionate about fostering connections within our local fashion scene. But now, I’m turning my attention to something that’s been brewing for the past year – CreativeMornings Denver. It’s not just an event; it’s a celebration of our city’s creative spirit.

Friday, October 13: 5-7 p.m.

1301 Wazee Street Denver CO 80204

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.

TRASH BECOMES TREASURE AT ABSOLUTE RUBBISH: A TRASH FASHION SHOW

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19TH AT 7 PM AT
THE PERPLEXIPLEX, CONVERGENCE STATION
18+

Denver, CO – July 5th, 2023 – Meow Wolf Denver is thrilled to announce its very first trash fashion show, where innovation and sustainability collide in a dazzling display of avant-garde looks. This trashtastic event will feature 20 local designers unveiling their mind-boggling, recycled and upcycled creations on the runway. Get ready to be blown away by the transformation from refuse to remarkable; the trashier the better!

While the fashion industry is vital to American culture and self expression, the impact to the environment is hard to ignore. The U.S. Geological Survey found that 71% of microplastics found in samples of river water came from fibers. Scientists estimate that, globally, 35% of the microplastics found in oceans can be traced to textiles, making them the largest source of microplastic pollution in the world’s oceans. (Bloomberg)

Meow Wolf is committed to sustainability and as such, many of the costumes designed by Wardrobe Coordinator Kate Major are reused, upcycled, and recreated from unwanted materials–as was the case for her look presented at the Spring ‘23 Paper Fashion Show. 

“There is so much inspiration in trash!” said Kate Major, … Read more!
