Greetings! I’m Chloe Marion Groom (yes like a Bride and a Groom)

I was born in Redwood City, California but home is in Aspen, Colorado.  I am currently in my last quarter of college at the University of Denver pursuing my Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology and Marketing.

The next thing you may be wondering is what my plans are for after graduation. Well that’s a great question and I’ve actually been wondering the same exact thing lately. What I do know is that I’ve never taken a traditional path in life. I took a year off after high school to do community service in the South Pacific for the first half of the year and later took a backpacking trip in Europe. I did my first year of college in New York City and ended up transferring to DU in the fall of 2013.

Apart from loving the outdoors, my dog Nigel, my friends and family, and the occasional Moscow Mule, I love fashion and here’s why: Straight from one of my favorite songs by Theophilus London I Stand Alone, and if you’ve heard this song before please sing it out loud right now: “The clothes don’t make … Read more!

Pale white tiles guide you through the entrance. Windows enclose around you, bathing your soul with raw sunlight, and a smooth hum of music vibrates your body. Finally, a seat is found as you adjust yourself in this home- like environment, with a hand wrapped around the glass mug of coffee.

I only saw this place as home, my home. Not  as a business, not as a public space for people with unfamiliar faces to meet and sip coffee together, not as my mother’s coffee shop. This area was me.

mljWe called our home the Gypsy House Cafe. After a year long journey to France, London, and my native land, Lebanon, my mother and her twin set action into making their dream into a reality. We were unsure of the location, but there were no amount of challenges that could shoot us down. I was six years old when the place was finished and ready for me to take on the world, while gaining and giving inspiration.

It was this very place, where I received the opportunity to meet a woman I would grow up admiring, and dreaming to work with. Her petite figure, cheerful personality, and wildly creative fashion … Read more!

How Do You Do?

Hello Fashion Denver!

To start off, my name is Alyssa Noguchi and I am extremely excited to announce that I will be Fashion Denver’s spring intern!

A little background about me:

I am twenty-two years of age and was born and raised in Denver. Currently, I am a senior at Colorado State University studying apparel merchandising. I have always loved fashion, when I was little I would always play dress up; even now I still love to “play” dress up. But I didn’t always have my sights set on a career in fashion.994665_10202566092541837_1146752757_n For a good 16 years of my life, I was a dancer. I went to an arts high school, took dance classes every day after school and attended California Institute of the Arts for a semester to try to pursue a career in dance. I would live and breathe dance, it was all I knew for 16 years, until one day I realized that dance was becoming something that I felt that I had to do instead of something that I had a passion of doing. So, I made one of the best decisions of my life: to quit dance and go to school a little closer … Read more!
