Fresh, white snowflakes danced to the ground outside of Denver’s historical McNichols Building, perfectly preluding to the event inside. As guests entered the runway room, adorned with white banners and subtle chic lighting, they were greeted with a unique cocktail from a fashionably dressed server or a friendly smile from one of their fellow fashion-enthusiasts. Local shops, fashion boutiques and restaurants sold apparel and offered delicious samples of sweet treats and snacks to anticipating guests. All were gathered for the same reason, to celebrate local designers at Westword’s second annual Whiteout Fashion Show.

A letter from me…

February 11, 2014 bshigley Leave a comment

Hello! It’s me, Brandi Sue Shigley, founder of Fashion Denver!

I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting as we go into the 10th year of Fashion Denver. We’ve learned so much and have gotten to see so many fashion businesses grow. We went from only doing consulting and fashion markets and shows to doing all of that on top of having a boutique. And most recently (in the past 2 years) have gone back to simply consulting, fashion markets, and fashion show production.

When I think about all of the components of Fashion Denver, I am grateful for being able to do one of my most favorite things… SPEAKING and sharing my experience as an entrepreneur and being able to guide, provide, and inspire others to start up businesses. One of my personal goals is to take this passion of sharing and going out on the road to inspire others outside of our beautiful state of Colorado and… drumroll…

I am excited to say that this goal is now becoming a reality! My co-inspirer Sahar Pazirandeh and I will hitting the road this May to take our WordLove tour out to the west coast. Read about how my friendship with … Read more!
