In the coming up months there are a few fantastic events happening and it’s important to check out our EVENTS page to see them all. It always makes me a little suprised when people say that there is no fashion going on in Colorado. If we open up our eyes and get involved, we’ll actually find that there is NEVER a dull moment in fashion and that our state has a plethora of designers and independent boutiques everywhere!
Colorado’s fashion community is growing and we need YOU!
As our state’s fashion scene continues to grow, some of Denver’s fashion industry leaders have come together to create an association in which fashion can come together to truly grow and support all that Colorado has to offer. What the community needs is input from you! What do YOU NEED? What do you see IS LACKING? How can we come together to be even stronger?
One reason that I am SO PROUD to be part of Colorado is because of our strong community. It’s important to understand that we need to support each other, not be divided.
Now, on that note!

Designer / Boutique News! Fashion Denver LOVES LoveThatFit!
Dear Retailers, Designers, Clothing Manufacturers, and Fashionistas,
LoveThatFit is coming to Denver! What is LoveThatFit? We are a website that offers shoppers a way to virtually try on clothes and see how clothes will actually fit on their bodies. They can then share their purchases with friends and family via social media to show off their new outfits.

If you choose to participate, you will receive:
-An online presence/website
– Additional market reach
– Increased consumer confidence
– Increased consumer loyalty
– Consumers will have the ability to save previous purchases so they can mix and match with future purchases
– Low cost way to have an efficient and profitable presence online
– Enhance the shopping experience for your customers

How It Works
LoveThatFit will come in and photograph the clothing you choose to feature on the site. Then we place your items

What’s in store after we shut the boutique down at the end of January?
Frock Out 2012
I’ve been hired as co-producer of Frock Out 2012, a fashion competition with the Denver Public Library’s Fresh City Life program. 12 designers will be selected from our jury to compete and will show 4 pieces from their current collection and design 1 challenge piece. We are holding auditions this Saturday at Fashion Denver and have over 20 designers signed up to audition. It’s going to be very exciting! The event happens on April 20th.
Spring / Summer fashion market
I will continue to produce the fashion markets featuring 20-3o Colorado fashion designers. Our fashion markets are held at a fun venue and designers are invited to come and sell and connect. This spring / summer market (date and location to be determined) will be our 30th market since 2004. Oh my!!! Each market brings in new designers and it’s really inspiring to see our local fashion scene expand.

Hello Fashion Denver Friends and happy new year to you!
So many new and exciting things are going on over here. Many of you may know by now that we are closing the retail side of things down at the end of January so we can get back to focussing on the business development side of things with our designers.
Fashion Denver will continue to produce our seasonal fashion markets and events and we will continue to work one on one with our local designers helping them build their businesses which continue to contribute to our growing fashion scene.
This year, I’ve been brought on board to co-produce Frock Out 2012 with Chris Loffelmacher of Fresh City Life at the Denver Public Library. I’ll also be the fashion pavilion manager at the Denver County Fair . The current Fashion Denver space will be converted to an entrepreneurial shared space in which I will have my office and workshop space.
