Fashion Forum

Monday, November 14th 6pm-8pm
2590 Washington Street
Denver, CO

Dear Designers:

You are cordially invited to participate at a forum for Fashion/Accessory & Jewelry Designers! This is a forum to LISTEN & HEAR form YOU! Really – we want to know from you as designers what will be the best for this creative community. We can’t stress enough how this is for YOU and about YOU!

With all the exciting things happening in fashion in Denver, such as several fashion weeks, cut & sew operations, design incubators, fashion schools, fashion shows, et al…

We want to know- is there is a desire or need for designers to come together in a more unified way? A fashion commission, a fashion board? Or something else?

Please come to a meeting to discuss the options. We have invited Ginger White Brunetti of Denver’s Arts & Venues, Anthony Aragon of Denver Boards and Commissions, other special speakers to be announced soon. We’ve also invited you, the designers, to discuss what you see for Denver’s fashion future.

This is your chance to express what you see is needed – don’t miss the opportunity!… Read more!

Come Dream in watercolor with Max Kauffman at Fashion Denver

Denver, CO- Dreams are world where flying isn’t unrealistic, running at high speeds is the daily norm and encountering otherworldly beings seems to be your everyday experience. While many spend their nights cuddled up under their covers creating their own realm, local Denver artist Max Kauffman is wide-awake painting it into reality. Kauffman will be bringing his dreamscapes to the showroom of Fashion Denver on First Friday, November 4th from 5-9PM.

Highly influenced by visual folklore, Kauffman mainly utilizes watercolor, ink and an Italian watercolor named “gouache” to illustrate worlds on paper that are normally only seen in the subconscious. His recent series “Migrations” is a work that mirrors an ethereal point of view of the avian world. Throughout the evening, Kauffman will be debuting new pieces of artwork, his recent series, as well as showcasing other pieces for viewing and purchasing pleasure.

But, for those that are just itching to grasp a touch of his fantasy, fans and art lovers have a chance to enter a drawing for one of Kauffman’s pieces, which will continue until the evening of First Friday at 8:30PM at Fashion Denver.

His exhibitions … Read more!
