A note from the producers:
The Concept: The show is to introduce two new companies,One company representing "Funky" (Fashion Society of Young Colorado) and the other representing "Fresh" (Chocolate.Piece Productions), with drastically different personalities that were designed to accomplish the same goal; to build awareness, encompass diversity and unify Colorado’s young entrepreneurs in the media, entertainment, and art industry. Our show is featuring local designers throughout Midwest as well as surrounding states.

We are showcasing innovative clothing lines and boutiques, capturing a sense of style and welcoming guest to support the exceptional talent we have with in Colorado. We will have live entertainment, celebrity guests, comic relief and original styles and ideas. We are welcoming any one to attend; grabbing the attention of at least 400 guests or more. Because we are planning on such a grand spectrum we are looking for companies, organizations and individuals who would be interested in sponsoring our show and/or being a feature. This is an event that will bring Funk & Fresh to the city of Denver, CO. This is an event that is a must see and must be apart of!
