Featured designer| Space Jungle: Organic authenticity and freedom of style

We are thrilled to present Space Jungle, a brand new company that launched this year! And with so many Coloradoans going on so many adventures, it’s pretty wonderful to have a fashionable clothing company that can take us on all of those adventures!

Let’s learn more from designer Ife Ramsey!

What inspired your love for fashion and fashion design? 

Colors and fun patterns inspire my love for fashion and fashion design! I fell in love with designing fabric in 2012 and haven’t looked back since. 

What is the first thing you ever designed? 

In high school I bleached a pair of red jeans until they were a beautiful light pink with dark pink splashes, cut them, and turned them into a skirt. I had an old tutu from a ballet performance which I cut the tulle from and sewed onto the bottom of the skirt. I wish I had a photo to share. 

How long have you been designing? 

I started designing hemp fabric exclusively in 2013. My latest venture in the ready- to-wear world is SpaceJungle, which I started in 2019, and features athletic fabrics. I hope to merge these two passions and incorporate hemp into a collection soon. Read more!

Interview with Photographer Kristin Christian from Colorado Lifestyle Photography

I first met photographer Kristin Christian, photographer behind Colorado Life Style Photography, last spring when our line of dress shirts, Bradley Allen, was featured on the runway for the Children’s Miracle fashion show.

I started following her on social media and absolutely LOVED the energy of her photos, leading to working with her on our recent Valentine’s photoshoot. She was able to take a really sexy situation making it classy, lovable, and full of emotion. We had such a blast!!

We wanted to know what makes this photographer tick! Let’s get to know this amazing Colorado Photographer, shall we?

What is your favorite subject to photograph?  

My kids, Isabella and Wyatt, come first.  They are my inspiration and the reason I fell in love with photography.  I love photographing families and creating an experience that allows them to relax and be natural in front of the camera.
How did you develop an interest in photography?  
I dreamed up Colorado Lifestyle Photography the year my daughter was born with the intention of documenting our family and our love for Colorado.  My husband and I are originally from Michigan, and we moved here 12 years ago to create a new

October 8, 2018 – Brooks Luby has been designing clothes for over four decades. She has always had a flare for style, daring to test the waters with colors and patterns, and giving women a custom design and fit that is unique to them. In 1990, clothes and the meaning behind them took a new meaning. Brooks (her professional name), was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier that year became more determined than ever to work with women and their curves and make them feel beautiful in their own skin.

Brooks at the time of her diagnosis became friends with another Denver fashion icon, Sue Miller. Miller had started Colorado’s first breast cancer organization seven years before to give survivors a place and faces to talk to. Brooks like many survivors was private in sharing her diagnosis, but that didn’t stop her from celebrating life instead of fearing it.

Hana Designs: Getting people through chemo looking and feeling beautiful!

A month or so ago, I went wig shopping with my Mom as she was beginning chemo treatments. I was feeling emotional as we walked into Hana Designs, a wig studio that was recommended to my Mom through her cancer support group.  Almost instantly, we were greeted by Hana and any anxiety seemed to melt away.

After a few minutes of chatting to Hana, we realized we had met at Red Ball, an absolutely amazing fashion show to benefit the Colorado Aids Project. We instantly fell in love with this angel!
