in Parker Colorado at a place called The Studio@ MainStreet
When I was growing up, Parker was a little sleepy town just down the road from us. Over the past years, Parker has boomed and is no longer that little town but a thriving city!
This October, fashion hits the streets as the MainStreet Fashion Show takes over! Heather Dyamond, producer of the MainStreet Fashion Show tells us all about it!
What is the inspiration behind the fashion show?
We are calling our show “The MainStreet Fashion Show”. We were inspired by the stories of designers and models whose lives were financially and emotionally devastated during the lockdown in Denver.
We noticed that while things were chaotic in Denver, things were sort of normal in the surrounding towns. Denver being so big was not capable of dealing with a crisis like this as were most cities not equipped to handle it. So we thought one day why not try to move the fashion bubble from city to burbs. From the city streets to the main streets if you will. Every town … Read more!

It is so amazing to see students designers emerge and celebrate the work that they’ve been creating during their time at school! We are so excited to see this show!

In addition, we will also be introducing our up-and-coming student designers in a group segment entitled, “Gather.” Gather has many definitions including garment construction, assembling together, and collecting items or thoughts. Come and see how each of our students have interpreted this theme in their own creative way for their Gather-inspired designs.
Fashion is back in our Mile High City and we can’t wait to see the fashions unfold as Denver’s top designers and stylist bring their brilliancy to the runway!
Denver-based organization Fashion West celebrates fashion from the perspective and spirit of the American West. We feature artisans who craft pieces individually by hand- to designers that made their start in the west then scaled their businesses to larger international markets -to designers from anywhere in the world who capture our imagination.
Designers use their fashion pieces to create a message, and hopefully, one that leaves an impact on people. At just the age of fifteen, designer Brenna Livingston understands the importance of using her work to carry on the message of sustainability and being environmentally friendly. Upcycling, a now popular trend, is used by Livingston in her designs to portray the importance of wearing sustainable clothing while also looking fashionable. She wants to use her designs to inspire people to take responsibility for the role they play in recycling for the benefit of our Earth.
At the Modello Nuovo fashion show, Livingston’s jewelry pieces were highlighted for her creativity in taking something old and turning it into something new and fashionable. I had the pleasure of interviewing Livingston to get some insight of how she brings her pieces to life.
