As a die heart for all things fashion, I frequently find myself lost in the pages of magazines or scrolling through countless fashion blogs. I have always taken this love elsewhere and outside the confines of my home here in Colorado. However, I have discredited Colorado completely and I am here to fill you in. 

Denver is rapidly becoming more urbanized and much more progressive in embracing the arts. Next weekend, Denver will be hosting Denver Fashion Weekend. A weekend filled with runway shows featuring local boutiques, designers, make up artists, stylists, and a world of talent emerging from this up and coming city.  File through that closet and pull out that little black dress that’s been in dyer need of an worthy occasion, and get yourself a seat at one of these runway shows. I don’t think you’ll find yourself disappointed.

Future fashion hub? Maybe. None other than the wonderful Yves Saint Laurent will be hosting an exhibit right here in our very own Denver Art Museum. The Retrospective, is sure to be on high demand upon its opening in mid March, as individuals are expected to be flying in specifically for the occasion.

If you thought elegance and prestige were limited to the streets and catwalks of Milan, Paris, New York, and London, think again. Embrace the arts out your front door. I wasn’t disappointed.

Kristie Dunnigan is a junior studying business marketing at the University of Colorado at Boulder. She was born in Montana and later moved to the beautiful state of Colorado. Country girl at heart yearning for a big city life, she recently spent 3 months living in NYC interning for Oscar de la Renta as an international and domestic sales intern (and has spent everyday since trying to figure out how to get back to that concrete jungle). It's that city strut and over the top street style fashion that this girl cannot get enough of. She is Vice President of the American Marketing Association Chapter at Boulder, and is currently interning at shopgoldyn.com to fulfill creative needs. When she isn't snowboarding, blogging, or enjoying the amazing friends and family that fill her days, you will probably find this old soul buried in a thrift store or nearest local flea market over indulging in the good life.
