Forever Darling 5 was a week of beautiful and high impact fashion! We had two sold out fashion shows and helped raise money for the Denver Art Museum by donating 100% of the ticket sales from the sold out show. We also helped raise awareness for the YSL exhibit!
Check out this fantastic video by Locker Partners, music By Sauna!
Check out some of the photos from both events!

Meet our partner for this event Fashion Group International (FGI)
The FGI mission is to be the pre-eminent authority on the business of fashion and design and help its members become more effective in their careers. FGI provides insights on major trends in person, online and in print plus access to business professionals and a gateway to the influence fashion plays in the marketplace.
It all began in 1928 when 17 women, gathered by Edna Woolman Chase, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, gathered for a luncheon in a modest midtown New York restaurant. They held a belief that American fashion needed a forum. As a result, The Fashion Group International was founded in 1930. Some of the founding and charter members were Elizabeth Arden, Margaret Case, Eleanor Roosevelt, Helena Rubenstein, Julia Coburn, Lilly Dache, Nan Duskin, Edith Head, Eleanor LeMaire, Claire McCardell, Clare Potter, Virgina Pope, Adele Simpson and Carmel Snow. FGI Denver was founded in 1958. Interested in Fashion and would like to become a member for FGI visit http://denver.fgi.org
