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!

Local Designers Unite for Pop-Up Trunk Show and Fundraiser During National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

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!

Pajama Rama! A pajama drive for kids and teens in foster care!

IT’S PAJAMA-RAMA TIME!

We have partnered up with the Urban Angels to do some good in our neighborhood! Did you know that at any given time 100 or more children enter the foster care system? These children leave their homes with only the clothes they are wearing or carrying a few items in a plastic bag. We need your help to provide comfort and care to these kids in transition by providing new winter pajamas, hats, and gloves. Our goal is to donate 100+ plus pajamas to the children in the foster system.
Your gift will make their lives a little brighter.
Pajamas can be dropped off at the Fashion Denver HQ at 2265 Lawrence Street across the street from the Denver Rescue Mission Monday-Friday from 9am-6pm. We will then distribute these jammies directly into our foster care system!

Ahhhh yes….. it’s back to school time! It is an exciting time for many kids but for so many other kids, it’s not met with the same fun expectation of getting new school clothes and getting to pick out their backpack for the year. It’s often met with the stress of not being able to afford new clothes,  not fitting in, and not having what “all the other kids have.”

According to an article written in Patch.com, “More than 40 million Americans live below the poverty line, and of those facing such financial hardship, children are disproportionately affected. Nearly 12.6 million children under age 18 live in households with poverty-level income.”
