Anthomania Fashion Show

13442609_10153890197327585_7399049042330129973_oThe summer fashion season certainly kicked off this past weekend at the Anthomania Fashion Show, presented by Studio Colfax. This family run artisan boutique on Colfax Avenue put on a wonderful fashion show in their very own courtyard in the back of the store.

The show featured local designers such  Minus the Dart,  Symantha Perrera,  and PUPIL Clothing. Hair was done by Jade Gordons Onsixth, and makeup by Cynthia Delgado. With yummy food provided by Extreme Pizza – Denver, and even iced tea by RL Linden & Co.

The show began with models emerging from the back exit out of the store on to a brick walk way which wrapped around the entire courtyard and made for a great runway. Guests were seated all along the courtyard and given perfect little wooden fans to keep cool during the hot summer night. While it was definitely warm out, the weather was certainly not the only thing hot about the evening. Kicking off the show, we saw designs from FACE aka Symantha Perra, one in particular was a bright orange and red floral dress and this dress was hot to say the least. Her designs … Read more!

Wrap up for Matthew Morris 10 Year celebration

By Daniel Saun | Fashion Denver Summer Intern

Amazing. Even the honorable Mr. Morris could not find another word to describe the artistry and the expertise that he and his team have been able to achieve over the decade. His metallic gold Jeremy Scott Adidas wings sneakers graced the runway as he effortlessly exuded an energy that filled the ballroom. This was an event that not only hailed the past 10 years of Matthew Morris, but also to new beginnings.

The eager guests that attended were treated to an array of eye candy that foreshadowed the occasion and the phenomenal spectacles they would witness. As the night progressed and with everyone taking full advantage of the open bar, courtesy of those that donated, it was time for the main show.

The avant-garde of Colorado gathered into their seats surrounding the X shaped runway that teased them as L’Erin and Marvin, parterns along side Matthew Morris, spoke and were reminiscent of days past that were part of the fundamental building blocks that shaped what the Matthew Morris Salon has become.

However, it would not be a Matthew Morris event without a just cause. This year, the wonderful team decided to help defeat … Read more!

MOPS Fashion Show Fundraiser

26621349792_db0d95cf4c_zDarling! A Fashion Fundraiser was held Thursday, April 14th at the exquisite Palazzo Verdi in Greenwood Village, CO. Delicious dinner by Epicurean Catering was provided as well as a fashion show featuring local MOPS moms modeling the Evereve Spring line.

What an incredibly inspiring  and beautiful event this was. We often think of fashion as the city woman, dashing down the street in stilettos but fashion is so much more than that! Fashion is for everybody including MOTHERS and this fashion show was all about celebrating motherhood, friendship and empowerment.

Before the fashion show began, we watched a heartwarming video about how MOPS has inspired and connected mothers, bringing tears to our eyes.  Although neither one of us that attended are mothers (or fathers for that matter), you could feel the love of family and community throughout the room.

We listened to keynote speaker Danielle Stangler, founder of Neet Cheeks, about her  journey following her dream and ending up in an interview on Shark Tank! Neat Cheeks are a flavored wipe for babies and toddlers (well… adults too! We each got one in our goody bag and I have been carrying them around with me using them all the time). It was so inspiring to … Read more!

Day of Caring Colorado

On February 25th the Fashion Denver crew attended An Evening of Caring, presented by The Sue Miller Day of Caring for Breast Cancer Awareness. The evening started off with a silent auction with wonderful packages for all! Spa packages, sports packages even fun kid packages, all to raise money for this amazing cause.

We sat down to a delicious dinner, listening to the event honorees speak. The Lifetime of Caring Award went to Diane and Steven Levine and the Sue Miller Survivor Award went to Dr. Scot Sedlacek. To hear what these people have done to support breast cancer research was inspiring!

After dinner, the fashion show commenced! All of the models are breast cancer survivors and each and every one of them looked fantastic. The energy that was exuded throughout the night was powerful!

It wasn’t a typical “walk down the runway” type of event. They had entertaining choreographed dances that accomodated each of the looks down the runway. It was so much fun to watch!
