April 16, 2018 – When we think of fashion, sustainability isn’t usually the first thing that comes to mind. Common Threads presented the Recycled Runway Show on April 10th which aimed to shift that notion. The plot is genius: young designers from grades 6 to 12 make and compete their original, unique garments from completely recycled materials. Held at the Boulder Theater, this event was sure to be a hit. I was astounded at the talent, drive, and individuality these young innovators held. Not to mention that proceeds from the night went towards Blue Sky Bridge – a prevention and intervention association in the fight against child abuse. Here are my top 5 looks from the evening:
This first look was incredibly intricate and the designer must’ve been meticulous when crafting this. Bryn Leith-Matison, only in 6th grade, utilized a number of distinct materials to construct her outfit. By incorporating wine wraps, tennis balls, fruit roll-up strings, and mesh netting, this young lady really challenged herself to create something that was tough yet inspiring. Tennis balls, not only difficult to work with but bold in color selection, were the center piece of this look. She hand-sewed each individual ball … Read more!

April 8, 2018 – Unique is definitely the perfect word to describe this action packed week of fashion shows. Put on April 2nd-6th, Denver’s Unique Week of Fashion was not one to miss. Produced by At Your Service Event Planning and with proceeds going to fund mental health awareness, the multiplicity of this production is quite incredible. The show’s message is all about inclusivity. All gender preferences, ages, sizes, races, and even political positions (LOL) are welcome. The warm and embracing atmosphere sure attracts a lot of different creatives from around the state. From designers to hair and makeup artists to models and photographers, DUWF showcases each individual’s talents to form a cohesive and, yes, unique show.
Monday:
Luxe303 created an upbeat vibe to go with their entertaining show. Luxe ALWAYS brings the heat to the runway. Easily one of my favorite boutiques, Luxe brings together the flavor of Miami to meet with Denver’s urban, casual look. This beautiful silk blazer was tailored to perfection as it graced the model to give a professional and suave look. The use of vibrant and bold colors was done elegantly and allowed the blazer stand out while still maintaining its polished effect. … Read more!
