TODAY’S FEATURED DESIGNER-A-DAY
FOR THE FASHION DENVER HOLIDAY MARKET
Name: Sara Schmitz Olson and Christa Schmitz
Business: Chrisara
When were you first inspired to design? We are twin sisters Sara and Christa creating Chrisara. When we were little, our parents didn’t want us to watch TV, so they sat us down at a little table and had us draw. We quickly were fascinated with drawing people and animals. Our dad taught us how to sew on a machine at age 7. All this helped motivate and push us to where we are now. We obtained our dream to work together as artists/designers and combine our love for drawing/painting onto developed designs of our own.
What will you be showing at Fashion Denver’s Holiday Market? We will be showing our current line of original designs and partially hand painted apparel featuring animals and skulls native to the beautiful Colorado state.
