DESIGNER-A-DAY: Kim Tinnell

TODAY’S FEATURED DESIGNER-A-DAY
FOR THE FASHION DENVER HOLIDAY MARKET

Name: Kim Tinnell

Business: Perfect Tin

When were you first inspired to design? I got my undergraduate degree in studio art with a focus on mixed media. I really enjoyed taking everyday objects and turning them into art. One day I was perusing a vintage shop and came across an old 1950s tin Band Aid container with a woman on it and I thought, “That would be an awesome bracelet.”

What will you be showing at Fashion Denver’s Holiday Market? I will be showing my upcycled, one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry. All my pieces are hand cut from vintage tins. I have earrings, bracelets, and necklaces.

If you had to pick one piece from your collection that most represents your personality, which would it be?  I made a bracelet out of a vintage Curad tin (circa 1950). It is playful, yet refined. The bracelet reminds me of the Pop Art period, when a lot of artists used imagery from advertising. This is one of my favorite movements in Art History.

“SPA”-A-DAY: Kai Med Spa

TODAY’S FEATURED SPA OF THE DAY
FOR THE FASHION DENVER HOLIDAY MARKET

Business: Kai Med Spa

When were you first inspired to open Kai Med Spa? Ted Lin is the owner of Kai Med Spa. His inspiration came through working in his general practice of medicine. He worked with a patient who was ailing for months. She was not responding to any of his physical treatment suggestion and she talked a great deal about a mark on her face at each appointment. Dr. Lin did not ignore the comments about the mole, but he was not listening in a way that he could understand the sort of image problems it was causing. Finally after months, he agreed to remove the spot. An unbelievable transformation occurred afterward. Her entire demeanor changed. Her physical health improved drastically and her self esteem and self image increased. It was then that he realized that sometimes there are things about ourselves that can hinder growth on the inside. It inspired him to listen closer to his patients but to also pursue the business of a medical spa. The connection between paying attention to what is going on with the outside of your body can absolutely … Read more!

A Seriously Sexy Soiree

Leave a comment

CondomCoutureInvitation-HR-1024x658Friday, November 8th marked the 40th Anniversary for the Boulder Valley Women’s Health Center. It also marked the day that I did something I never could have guessed I would do: attend and help produce a Condom Couture Fashion Show.

Condom Couture was held at the Boulder Theater and was completely unique from any other fashion show that I have attended in that it featured designs entirely made out of condoms. Yes, I said it: condoms. All fashions were the unique creations of local artists, activists, fashion designers and fashionistas, designed to help promote safe sex and sex positivity.

I worked closely with Brandi Shigley, Justice Kwesi Kwarteng, and Carlos Estrada from the Global DJ Academy to finalize the music, prep the models and ultimately help produce one of the sexiest and most distinctive fashion shows I have ever been to.

The event began with a 40th Anniversary Video Presentation, followed by a live auction with Don Martin.  The live auction items included a Cabo Getaway, a Breckenridge or Beaver Creek Condo Stay, a couple’s night out in Downtown Boulder, a private helicopter ride, a hot balloon ride and many more seriously awesome items!

FASHION DENVER ENJOYED A WEEKEND FULL OF STYLING, MUSIC, AND SHOES!!

Image Leave a comment

Last weekend, Fashion Denver had some exciting opportunities that kept us busy and full of joy.

PhotoGrid_1374859220908We started it all out on Thursday when we went to Flat Irons Crossing shopping center and got to style some mannequins at Old Navy for their Blogger Night event.  The next evening was the main event and we enjoyed connecting with other local bloggers, as well as hanging out the staff and shoppers at Old Navy.  Some of the lovely bloggers we met were Krystabell Barrera of kitschybelle.com, Ana Kondenko of leprocrastinista.com, Dana Lynch of elementsofimage.com, Nicole Dominic hellolovedenver.com and worthwhilestyle.com, and Lonza Dennis of firstclassfashionista.com.

After arriving back in town on Friday night, we headed over to Civic Center Park to experience Denver Night! The atmosphere was light and carefree.  There were glowing blue circles on the ground that lit-up to a rainbow of colors when they were jumped on.  There were also tunnels of growing greens for people to “graze” on.  It was sort of like a fun community salad.  While we were there we enjoyed listening to the Denver Symphony Orchestra play, as well as a set from two of the members of the band … Read more!
