Denver’s Public Porch: Boutique review

The Lions Share
Denver’s Public Porch: Boutique review
By Ayden Ehlinger

Hundreds of people each day pass through the inventive RiNo District in downtown Denver observing the contemporary art galleries and music venues that express the creativity of Denver artists. It is fitting that within this hub for innovative creativity there are clothing shops that show off the creative geniuses of local Denver designers while also encapsulating the creativeness the RiNo district has to offer. 

The Lions Share offers this aesthetic appeal to RiNo shoppers. Described as having Denver’s “public porch”, designer and owner of The Lions Share, Chuck Winfield uses his space to share the innovative designs produced by him and others. His line, Winfield clothing, along with other brands sold in the store gives a latter-day vibe to match the ambiance of RiNo. 

Winfield started his clothing line right out of high school in Denver where he grew up being an avid skier. He is ambitious to market his designs to the public eye through The Lions Share and social media. 

 

Winfield’s designs bring a new image to the world of fashion by reinventing old styles into his contemporary style. By altering different mainstream corporations, Winfield can … Read more!

A Day in the Life of Fashion Denver, Ayden Ehlinger, What we wore

Ayden’s summer must have’s

Personally, I always found my style to be more accustomed to winter with long sleeves and pants, so summer can make it difficult for me to create an outfit that I feel truly encapsulates my own personal style.

After years of trying to build the perfect summer wardrobe, these pieces continuously bring me comfort and pride over the hottest months of the year. The light plain white shirt is perfect for any hot day and can match with almost any other clothing. The blue high-waisted mom shorts are comfy enough to wear almost every day. Of course, I could not go anywhere without my trusted necklaces and sunglasses, and the Nike Air Force and Fjallraven Kanken bag add bright and colorful elements perfect for the summer. … Read more!

Interview with Brenna Livingston

By Ayden Ehlinger 

Designers use their fashion pieces to create a message, and hopefully, one that leaves an impact on people. At just the age of fifteen, designer Brenna Livingston understands the importance of using her work to carry on the message of sustainability and being environmentally friendly. Upcycling, a now popular trend, is used by Livingston in her designs to portray the importance of wearing sustainable clothing while also looking fashionable. She wants to use her designs to inspire people to take responsibility for the role they play in recycling for the benefit of our Earth. 

At the Modello Nuovo fashion show, Livingston’s jewelry pieces were highlighted for her creativity in taking something old and turning it into something new and fashionable. I had the pleasure of interviewing Livingston to get some insight of how she brings her pieces to life. 

Interview:

Where did you grow up as a kid and what was your childhood like?  

I grew up in Denver. I started dancing and modeling very young. And attended a performing arts school for middle school. I’m almost 15 so still growing.

How would you describe the style of your designs?

 My primary focus is jewelry design..my … Read more!

My name is Ayden Ehlinger, and I am a current student at Dakota Ridge High School. I am so grateful for this opportunity to work at Fashion Denver.

MAYA

In today’s fashion industry, the lines separating gender, race, age, and class are more blurred than ever, allowing the community of creatives to unify beyond these definitions.
