Mona Lucero Studio Visit!

September 14, 2026 bmac

Not a quick hug at an event. Not a “we need to catch up!” as we run in opposite directions. This was REAL quality time. 🥹❤️

On Saturday, I got to sit down with the amazing Mona Lucero, one of the true OGs of Denver fashion, in her beautiful showroom and design space.

And we REMINISCED.

We talked about shows, designers, people, adventures, and moments we’ve shared throughout more than TWO DECADES of Denver fashion. 🤯 HOLY MOLY.

There was something so special about actually sitting together, slowing down, and remembering where we’ve been, how much has changed, and all the beautiful creativity that has woven its way through the years.

Mona, I treasure you, your friendship, your incredible talent, and the history we share. What a gift Saturday was. ❤️

Here’s a little peek inside the wonderfully creative world of Mona Lucero. ✨… Read more!

Flaunt Salon’s Boutique Blowout: Out With Winter, In With WOW

April 16, 2026 bmac

Tucked into the stylish rhythm of Larimer Street on the 2200 block, something fabulous is happening behind the scenes at Flaunt Salon… and trust me, you’re going to want in on this 👀

Visit Friday & Saturday
2219 Larimer Street

Did you know that Flaunt Salon—tucked into Larimer Street for nearly 20 years—has a boutique hiding inside? 👀✨ Not just a rack or two by the front desk… but a whole curated collection of style, personality, and those “wait, where did you get that?!” pieces just waiting to be discovered. It’s a newer addition to the space—but already feels like one of Larimer’s best-kept style secrets.

👉 Inventory must GO.

And not in a boring, “clearance rack in the back corner” kind of way.
We’re talking racks of personality, playful pieces, and those “wait… do I need this? Yes. Yes I do.” finds.

👑 Meet Cheryl: The Style Brain Behind the Boutique

Cheryl is the creative force behind Flaunt’s boutique—and trust me, the woman has impeccable style. She has an eye for pieces that feel fresh, fun, and just the right amount of “where did you get that?!”

She’s not just curating racks… she’s curating confidence.

And fun fact: … Read more!

Recovering Hipster Goods Interview

February 24, 2025 bmac

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. Known for her visionary creativity and unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries, Mona has continually inspired and delighted fashion enthusiasts with her unique aesthetic.

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!
