A letter from me…

Hello! It’s me, Brandi Sue Shigley, founder of Fashion Denver!

I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting as we go into the 10th year of Fashion Denver. We’ve learned so much and have gotten to see so many fashion businesses grow. We went from only doing consulting and fashion markets and shows to doing all of that on top of having a boutique. And most recently (in the past 2 years) have gone back to simply consulting, fashion markets, and fashion show production.

When I think about all of the components of Fashion Denver, I am grateful for being able to do one of my most favorite things… SPEAKING and sharing my experience as an entrepreneur and being able to guide, provide, and inspire others to start up businesses. One of my personal goals is to take this passion of sharing and going out on the road to inspire others outside of our beautiful state of Colorado and… drumroll…

I am excited to say that this goal is now becoming a reality! My co-inspirer Sahar Pazirandeh and I will hitting the road this May to take our WordLove tour out to the west coast. Read about how my friendship with … Read more!

The Perfect Night for a Whiteout

The Fashion Denver Pre-Party at the Fashion Denver Headquarters

On Thursday night my fellow Denverlites and I did what we do best and braved the snow in the name of fashion. It was a complete whiteout outside, making a perfect platform for the whiteout that would ensue inside of the McNichols Building.

Our night started just as any good night should – with a toast of champagne and good company.  The second annual Westword Whiteout benefitted the American Transplant Foundation and was not only a chance for us to support the incredible Denver fashion scene, but it was also a time for us to celebrate our very own Brandi Shigley whose designs would be featured in the fashion show.  Cheers to that!

IMG_0524We arrived at the McNichols Building with snowflake accessories in our hair from the winter wonderland that was outside.  The doors opened to a bustling scene of well-dressed attendees, specialty cocktails, delicious bites, and bumping music. We socialized with designers, chatted with stylists, snapped a few pictures and scoped out the elite fashion as we walked through the posh event.IMG_0353

 

 

Once it was nearing 9 pm we made our way to our seats and eagerly waited for the start of the fashion show.  I have … Read more!
