Up Close and Purse-onal with Best of DFW

Getting up close and purse-onal with the best of Denver Fashion Week exhibit was a thrilling experience. I spent the evening discussing style with some of Denver’s most stylish guests. I was in awe from the moment I arrived, as our night kicked off with a private tour of the gallery. Listening to the stories and inspiration behind the photos and collections on display, I was most impressed with the thoughtfulness of the interactive elements. There were sample textiles to touch and fabric arranged artfully to create the perfect backdrop for a photo-opp. Feeling the materials the designers worked with highlighted the hard work and creativity that went into making these pieces so spectacular.

Another impressive aspect of the event were the people in attendance. Not only were there a substantial amount of people that came, but the guests were of all ages. I was

This is a unique holiday market and conversation on the topic of ‘true cost’ and ‘true benefit’ of an item. We’ll explore the complex issues that surround both buying local and handmade as well as from global corporations.

(ie: “This scarf is beautiful and you made it but it costs a lot of money and I can get something kind of similar from Target but it might be made from slave labor–ugh.)

The market will feature a curated collection of locally handmade goods that showcase Denver’s best local talent.

The hour long discussion will take place at 6:30pm.

There will be raffle prizes, interactive booths, cold cheeks, hot cocoa, and of course.. warm cookies!

Sponsored by: Create Denver, Sweet Action Ice Cream, Fashion Denver, Fancy Tiger, Denver Handmade Alliance, Denver Handmade Homemade, Access Printing.

Cookies from WaterCourse Bakery and Santa Fe Cookie Company.
