A Decade in the Making: Maggie Burns’ Magical Wedding Dress

In the world of fashion, some connections are forged in the most unexpected of ways. A chance encounter, a shared passion, or even a deep appreciation for someone’s craft can create bonds that stand the test of time.

Having known Maggie for over a decade, the promise of her designing a wedding dress had always lingered in the air. It was a promise I had hoped would eventually come to fruition.

Maggie Burns: A Familiar Face in Fashion Denver

Maggie Burns, brains behind Marie Margot Couture is no stranger to Fashion Denver. Years ago, we had the privilege of featuring her as a designer in our showroom and boutique.

Little did we know that our paths would converge again, this time for a very special occasion.

Aspen MayhewWHAT WAS YOUR FIRST MEMORY OF WHEN YOU FELL IN LOVE WITH FASHION?

 I was four years old when I did my first runway show for a boutique in Phoenix. I’ve been hooked since.

WHO WAS THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE FOR YOU IN FASHION WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD?

Linda Evangelista

HOW DID YOU GET INTO THE WORLD OF MODELING? 

My grandmother introduced me to the runway and my mother got me into JCPenney catalogs as a child. So I would say the women in my life.

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS IN MODELING THUS FAR?

Traveling to New York City with Megan Summerville was a blessing and a huge opportunity.  It was my first time in the big city.  We were able to help with a big runway show downtown, it was an experience of a lifetime. 

Also being nominated for model of the year 2021 at the black excellence awards in Atlanta was an honor. It was a very emotional experience working hard modeling in the south.

I would also say that probably my most memorable and surreal opportunity was traveling to New York City and going to Coco Rocha’s model camp Fleet 54. It has Read more!

I go into the dressing room, somewhat skeptical of what Rosey picked out for me, and pop out feeling brand new and inspired. She sees me in a different light than I see … Read more!

INTERVIEW: KATIE WELLS OF GIDDYUP!

“I like to think I slid outta the womb creating…. “-Katie Wells designer behind Giddyup

Fashion is such a statement. Oftentimes, fashion can be taken too seriously.  You must look like a professional. You must dress to impress. There can be expectations and pressure to follow fashion trends. Well, thank goodness there’s Katie Wells of GIDDYUP! Katie knows how to keep fashion fun.

I met Katie over a decade ago. The first time I fell in love with Katie’s designs was when I was in a fashion show and I got to model her dress, covered in pompoms!

I fell so head over heels in love with her fashions that I had her put together a look for me for my band performance at the Hi-Dive. She knew exactly to capture my whimsical playfulness.

Then, I became addicted to her headbands… headbands like you will NEVER find!

And then, I was lucky enough to get to carry GIDDYUP in our boutique (when we had a boutique (2008-2011).

Le sigh…. I can go on and on and on about how happy Katie’s designs make me. You can take a frown and turn it into perma-smile with her whimsical, unique and always … Read more!
