One thing I’ve learned about myself over the years is that I am interested in just about everything. Sometimes these interests come in waves (what some people might call “phases”-though I don’t like that term; it implies a lack of true interest). But there are some things I’ve been consistently and passionately interested in forever: Fashion and architecture, for example. And you know what? They’re really not all that different!
Both fashion and architecture are a constant battle between form and function. Consider your favorite pair of stilettos: They’re amazing and you get compliments on them wherever you go, but maybe wearing them feels a bit like torture. In the same way, architecture often sacrifices functionality for visual appeal. A building may look beautiful, but perhaps it isn’t very approachable and inviting, or maybe it was poorly placed. Think about it: A beautiful building in a bad neighborhood really isn’t too different from pairing Jimmy Choos with sweatpants.

Frock Shop event fuses high fashion with low prices
Katie Gartner’s brainchild is back: Frock Shop allows Denver fashionistas to explore local fashions at discounted prices, all at one central location.
Saturday and Sunday, April 20th and 21st, CSU Apparel and Merchandising graduate Katie Gartner’s company, Frock Shop, will return to Fashion Denver’s headquarters at 1070 Bannock Street for a spring sample sale. “Frock Shop is an exciting opportunity for Denver’s independent boutiques and designers to be able to offer high style at a fraction of the price. Frock Shop is also a great way for shoppers to discover designers and boutiques that they may not have been aware of”, says Gartner.
This two-day event allows plenty of time for Denver fashionistas to drop in over the course of the weekend, and buy local fashion. Shoppers can stop by Fashion Denver Saturday anytime between 10am and 6pm and Sunday between 10am and 4pm. While the event is sure to be a hit (as Frock Shop sales have been in the past), don’t expect to see catty shoppers fighting each other over the last pair of flattering jeans: Frock Shop is a friendly and social environment, where shoppers … Read more!
