Fashion Denver Interview: Rossi V From Yoga Mat to Runway Pit

Some creative relationships quietly weave themselves over time, waiting for the right moment to bloom.

We first met Rossi V over a decade ago through a mutual friend who loved yoga. Over the years, we stayed loosely connected, crossing paths here and there, cheering each other on from a distance. But when Rossi shared her growing interest in photography, something clicked for us. We’ve always known her as deeply multi-talented, so of course we wanted to see what she was creating behind the lens.

This season marked our first time officially working together at Denver Fashion Week with Rossi photographing and it felt both brand new and long overdue. We caught up with Rossi to talk about her creative path, her yoga-informed perspective, and that undeniable moment when photography and fashion aligned.

Check out all of Rossi’s DFW pictures here!

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.

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!
