Recovering Hipster Goods Interview

Hello Readers! Imagine basking in the warm sunshine, a gentle breeze in the air, and your favorite radio station spinning eclectic tunes. Now, picture tuning in to a conversation that’s as quirky and vibrant as a hidden thrift store gem—welcome to our exclusive interview with Recovering Hipster Goods, where vintage treasures meet modern sustainability in the most unexpected way.

Fashion Denver: Welcome to the show, Recovering Hipster Goods! Let’s kick things off with your origin story. Was it born over a pour-over coffee or a vintage vinyl find?

Recovering Hipster Goods: It all started with my deep love for thrifting, estate sales, and second-hand shopping. Back in my twenties, I’d load up my car with my finds and share them with friends—so much so they joked it was “Kayte’s Moving Closet.” For years I sold items online, but then during a career transition last year, I took a leap with pop-up markets around Denver. One night, over drinks with a friend, we dreamed up the idea of a brick-and-mortar shop. That spark led to everything, and I couldn’t have done it without the love and support of friends, family, and our community.

With a legacy spanning decades in the fashion industry, Mona Lucero has become a revered figure in Denver’s design scene, and is a local staple.

As longtime admirers of her work, we can’t wait to see the unveiling of Mona’s latest collection on the runway of Society Night at Denver Fashion Week.

What was the main inspiration behind your latest collection you are showcasing at Denver Fashion Week SOCIETY NIGHT?

There are a few themes – the butterfly which we often think of as pretty and sweet but there is a complexity to the butterfly in darker and more vivid colors that intrigue me. There is a resilience in the butterfly that’s often surprising. There’s also the theme of inner strength, relying on oneself to overcome and personal responsibility. I want to represent these ideas in this new collection.

Your designs often blend various styles and influences. How do you strike a balance between maintaining your signature … Read more!

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.
