We ran into Alexndra Hilker PR gal at Neiman Marcus at an event at Neiman’s and right away we knew we wanted to interview her and get more of a sense of her style and background!

-Introduce yourself:
AlexandraPR gal, animal lover, mountain adventurer. I got into fashion following my college graduation by moving to Paris, where I worked in trend forecasting and editorial. After two years abroad, I began to miss this great state and made the move back to Denver. I love this town and all it has to offer. It’s an exciting time to be living in such an ever-changing city, and I am eager to see what the future holds for fashion and culture in the Mile High.

-How would you describe your personal style?
Comfort comes first. Gravitating towards anything oversized or asymmetrical. I love adding edgy or boyish touches to feminine looks.

-Where are you on at 2pm on a Tuesday?
Up to my knees in bills and our PR budget! Otherwise I’m pulling looks for shoots or working on inspiration for our next event.

-What is your favorite item of clothing in your closet?
Tied between – a vintage YSL cropped tuxedo jacket … Read more!

50 DressesLocal seamstress and designer of Denver based label 50 Dresses by Tess Vigil is offering personal or small group sewing lessons in the RiNo arts district in Denver!

Tess’s notes…

Hi! I have 5 years teaching and tutoring experience, have a master’s degree in education, and have owned and operated my own fashion design label for the past 3 years. I’m always trying to meld my passion for sewing and design with my passion for teaching. I’ve taught summer camp programs to ages 6-14 at Colorado Academy in basic sewing, designing doll clothes, fashion blogging, and more. As you can see from my website, I mostly make dresses and separates, but I like doing small projects like aprons, pillows, etc with beginners.

I am open to personalizing a lesson to your needs, but here are a few styles of lessons I’ve had success with in the past:

•Kid’s sewing lesson- 1.5-2 hours, 1-2 kids age 6+. We go over basics of hand sewing, choose fabric for a small project like a doll dress or pillow, and work together to complete a project. Fun idea for a birthday party with a small group of girls!

•Do you have your own sewing … Read more!

Hello world!

Besides producing fashion events, one of my biggest passions is helping designers and other small businesses grow their businesses. I am having the pleasure of working with designer Melody Merrit of Infxous Scrubs! We’ve been consulting with Melody for the past couple of years and are watching her take her dream and turn it into reality.

Infxous Scrubs

Melody designs stylish scrubs for the medical and spa industries and it has been a dream of hers to get her designs into production and into a trade show. Well, that dream is here! We are spending the week in San Diego assisting Melody at the Uniform Retailer Trade show! I’ve been working to design her website www.infxousscrubs.com , re-branding her logo with an updated look, and designing all of her marketing materials (flyers, business cards, and banners). Now, I’m here to help get her out their to the retailers and distributors!

We’re having a great time here. Today we spent 6 hours setting up the booth. Assembling all of the parts and pieces of our racks and tables and steaming all of the clothes has been tiring, but we’re getting our second wind for the fashion show happening tonight!
