fashion market that features 25 local designers. We have Parisian

I
am a designer, can I display my clothing at the Fashion Denver
showroom? If so, where can I start?
The
first step would be to schedule an appointment to show us
your designs. Our designers showcase on a monthly basis. Designers
pay a monthly fee to be showcased and are involved in all
of the PR, marketing, and fashion events that we have in our
showroom for the month that they are showcased. This includes
a private opening where local boutiques are invited to come
and meet the designers, potentially picking up some new designers
for their boutique as well as a First Friday open house.

so it's good to check back often and visit often to see what
designers we have in our showroom.

Can
I borrow or buy pieces in the showroom? What do the price
ranges look like?
Pieces
can not be borrowed unless they are part of a fashion show
and that is to be set up directly between the designer and
the organizer of the show or photoshoot.
We
have many pricepoints ranging from $10.00 to $300.00. There
is something for everybody at Fashion Denver!

How
often do the designers add to their lines?
Often,
many of the designers come in and change their inventory on

of ways to get involved. It may be volunteering at one of
our fashion markets or fashion shows! This is a great way
to meet other fashion designers and like minded fashion forward
people. It's also a great way to connect with models, stylists,
designers, photographers, and other creatives!
