In the heart of Denver, where creativity knows no bounds, Colorado’s very own fashion maven Brooks Luby and the talented artist Madeleine O’Connell are joining forces in a groundbreaking collaboration that promises to redefine the intersection of fashion and art. Their inaugural showcase, “Painted Threads,” is set to take center stage at 1301 Wazee Street, unveiling an exquisite collection that blurs the lines between wearable art and sartorial elegance.
Scheduled for the vibrant First Friday of May, on May 3rd from 11 AM to 8 PM, and continuing through Saturday, May 4th, from 11 AM to 4 PM, “Painted Threads” invites you to immerse yourself in a world of captivating designs that celebrate individuality and creativity.
Brooks Luby, the visionary behind Brooks LTD, brings her signature blend of eco-consciousness and timeless style to the collaboration. With a passion for slow fashion, Brooks incorporates eco-friendly fabrics, including a curated selection of vintage textiles, into her designs. Each piece is a testament to her commitment to sustainability, offering fashion enthusiasts a guilt-free indulgence in luxurious attire.
Partnering with Brooks is the talented artist Madeleine O’Connell, whose unique artistic vision infuses the collection with vibrant energy and whimsical charm. Madeleine’s mastery of color and form finds expression in hand-painted motifs that adorn the fabric canvas, transforming each garment into a wearable masterpiece. Her penchant for combining and layering elements adds depth and dimension to the collection, creating a visual symphony that captivates the senses.
“Painted Threads” is a celebration of collaboration, where fashion and art converge to create something truly extraordinary. The collection features an array of one-of-a-kind pieces that invite you to embrace your individuality and express your unique style. From bold patterns to delicate florals, each garment tells a story, inviting you to become a part of its narrative.
At the heart of the collaboration is a commitment to zero waste, echoing the ethos of sustainability that runs through both artists’ work. Every scrap of fabric is repurposed, ensuring that nothing goes to waste in the creation process. From Brooks’ stash of vintage textiles to Madeleine’s fabrics printed ‘on demand,’ every material is utilized with intention, resulting in a collection that is as eco-friendly as it is aesthetically pleasing.
