Posner Center for International Development

You are personally invited to the August 6th official launch of TRIBE—a global, socially conscious fashion line that is being created right here in Denver, but that will have a global impact.

INDIEGOGO COVER PHOTO-1

Envisioned and dreamed into life by Rebecca Taylor (fashion designer) and Sarah Hidey (international development consultant)—two good friends with a common vision of empowering women—TRIBE has a mission to provide opportunities to women around the world through the provision of job skills and ethical employment in the fashion industry. Specifically, TRIBE plans to partner with fair-trade nonprofits and sewing studios to employ women with barriers to employment both in the United States, and, eventually, in Cambodia. 

Our brand can be summed up in three phrases:

 Locally Designed: The co-founders of TRIBE are Denver residents. Designed by Rebecca Taylor, TRIBE’s collection has classic and modern styles that women of all ages will adore. TRIBE partners with local social enterprises, such as We Made This (employing refugees) and Sox Place Screen Printing (employing homeless youth) for the production of select items. Other partnerships are in development.

Globally Inspired:… Read more!

The African Fashion Show Recap

Authenticity is a term that is used copious amounts of times within the fashion industry. However, is there truly authenticity within the fashion industry today? With consumers eating up fast fashion like it’s their last meal and those that have created womenswear and menswear into a commodity, it is truly hard to find a collection that is genuine. At the African Fashion Show Saturday night, I had the pleasure of experiencing fashion that is as authentic as it can be.

Tribal patterns, vibrant colors, traditional music, and most importantly; culture. Culture is what makes fashion unique and its people are the heart of that culture. From the few fashion shows that I have attended, the African Fashion Show was the liveliest and the most charismatic.

As the models walked down the runway representing and owning the native threads from different countries all over Africa including: Rwanda, Uganda, Nigeria, etc., there was an incredible sense of heart and passion that included the audience. In a way, this was more than a fashion show. This was a representation. A representation of how influential and important all cultures … Read more!

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!
