FIERCE IN THE CITY
FIERCE IN THE CITY combined fashion, live music, and shopping straight from the runway in Denver. It was produced by Denver-based Salwa
Owens, who was the featured designer showing four of her collections, some of which were complemented by selections from A Tsagas Furs and
Leather. The models were escorted by gentlemen dressed by Zerry’s Clothier & Rentals. Fierce in the City was emceed by Vincent Powell, one of
the top 20 finalists from American Idol 2013. Other musical performers during the fashion show included American Idol contestant Devan Blake
Jones, International opera vocalist Marlen Nahhas, and pop artist Dorian Phaero. Guests enjoyed the sounds of the female pop rock duo Steady
Rush while perusing looks from the runway and more at pop-up shops after the fashion show and in the Stritch On the Run (now “Whorl on Wheels”)
fashion truck.
The red carpet for the event was provided by FLOR. Salwa Owens showed her collections at Santa Fe and San Diego Fashion Weeks, as well as
the Americas Mart in Atlanta. She has a ready-to-wear line produced in Los Angeles, a second line made in Colorado, an evening gown line 100%
hand-made in India, and an online boutique that carries clothing, jewelry, belts, hats, and sweaters. She has just made her Spring/Summer 2015
collection available through her website, www.SalwaOwens.com. Her clothing and accessories can also be purchased at select boutiques in Denver.
