Rallying Behind Sahar: A Call to Support Our Inspiring Friend in Her Cancer Battle

Back in 2008, my journey intersected with a force of nature on the dance floor – Sahar, a designer, author, and speaker, whose vibrant soul and boldness have left an indelible mark on our fashion community. Little did I know that our paths would intertwine in ways that would define the essence of friendship and resilience. Fashion, music, sharing our passions for creating our paths and diving into life was our glue!

Fast forward to 2014 when Sahar and I embarked on a speaking tour together. Beyond her talents as a designer, Sahar proved to be an eloquent storyteller, sharing her journey with an authenticity that resonated with audiences far and wide. Her ability to weave personal experiences into powerful narratives inspired not only me but everyone in the fashion community and really, many communities.

Sahar’s boldness to share her stories and confront life’s challenges head-on has been nothing short of inspirational. Her resilience in the face of adversity has touched the hearts of many, making her a beacon of strength in our community.

An Urgent Call to Action

Now, our beloved friend Sahar is facing yet another battle with cancer, and she urgently needs our support. We are rallying … Read more!

Three renowned Colorado-based designers are coming together for an extraordinary fashion event that marries style with a social cause.

Friday, October 13: 5-7 p.m.
Saturday, October 14, 2023, 11 a.m. – 4 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.

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!
