olorado Fashion week 2013 featured amazing local
designers whose creations ranged from luxurious evening
gowns, laid-back indie clothing, and simply unique, creative
looks. This year marked the third anniversary and most
successful Colorado Fashion Week to date; with sold out shows
of over 15,000 fashion fans in attendance. Colorado Fashion
Week has achieved a defining moment as an event and
for founder Justice Kwesi Kwarteng. His mission has been
actualized in establishing Colorado as a sustainable fashion
market with a thriving network of partnerships and economic
powerhouse of designers, salons, and fashion related commerce businesses such as textile and manufacturing facilities
thorough out the state. Colorado Fashion Week is a time to
celebrate the designers as entrepreneurs, but also a chance to
combine the local businesses that help sponsor and contribute
to the event as well. The one thing that is truly unique about
Colorado Fashion Week is the individual take on what fashion
can be for everyone. Colorado Fashion is in a league of its
own, simply because every designer is different and presents
a different take on style, creativity, and beauty which makes the
show so fun and one that everyone can enjoy and relate to.
