Fashion Denver and Tease-Studio fuse fashion and fitness

Fashion Denver and Tease-Studios are excited to announce BOUNCE, this summer’s fashion market with a fitness twist. The event is based on a vision of combining the forces of fashion and fitness. The event is free and open to the public, and will be held at the Grant- Humphreys Mansion, on Sunday, June 3rd from 10am to 6pm.

By creating an active yet chic environment, we’re embodying the culture of Denver. While local designers are selling and showcasing their pieces on the main floor, fitness and dance classes will be going on in the grand ballroom. There will also be 3 fashion shows throughout the day.

Designers will feature both traditional pieces and fitness inspired items. So no matter if your a runway walker or devoted yogi, a fashion designer or cyclist, everyone’s bound to enjoy.
