Wanna join the Mile High Club? With 300 days of sunshine, views of the Rocky Mountains, and a sense of style as fun and funky as the city's inhabitants, (not to mention the 5,281 ft elevation!), a visit to the Mile High City of Denver, Colorado should leave you floating on air! Trading one "metronatural" city for another we find another cross section between fashion and function, and with an emphasis on playful combinations and an incorporation of vintage, recycled materials, local Denver designers certainly put the fun into function! Fashion Denver is an excellent collaborative creating awareness of the local fashion scene by bringing together a host of talented Denver designers and making fashion forward events accessible to all. Their showroom features unique designs such as custom creative couture by JM Designs (shown above), flirty fashion by Rae Marie, delicately crafted, earthy jewelery by Freedom Star, daring designs by Madame Q, and wearable art by L Train Recycled.
Check out these racks! (Shot at Fashion Denver's "First Friday" celebration for this month).
You might also find yourself inspired by local designer Francis Roces who introduces the idea of fusion into fashion with his line Kimono Dragons inspired by Japanese styles and patterns for a fun and fresh twist. His mission to keep his funky fashions affordable by reusing quality fabrics is largely representative of what is overall an eco-conscious, community-oriented collection of couturiers existing in Colorado's capital.
Once you adjust to the elevation and the ear-popping subsides, be prepared for some eye-popping fashions from the Mile High City that'll get you noticed from miles away.
