Denver Fashion Weekend Fall ’14

Time

Each night, the doors at DFW will open at 7:00 p.m. There will be a cocktail party for the first couple of hours where there will be bars, small plates from local eateries, pop-up shops, a DJ and more. Get your photo taken and hang out before the runway show begins.

Location/Parking

Denver Fashion Weekend is held at City Hall on the east side of Broadway (1144 Broadway, Denver, CO 80203). There is street parking, but there are also parking lots located nearby. We suggest parking in one of the two lots across from the street from the Denver Art Museum’s 12th and Broadway building.

What to Wear

DFW is all about fashion and creative expression. There isn’t a dress code, but we suggest going all out in your most fashionable attire. Whether that means you wear a street wear look like you’ll see on Thursday night, you wear a dress, suit or you come in jeans, that’s up to you. Here are some ideas.

Tickets

If you haven’t purchased your tickets yet, hurry because they are almost sold out for all three nights. There are general admission (standing room) tickets along with seats (VIP). Purchase tickets here.

Food

Hungry? DFW will have a variety of food vendors offering small plates and bites. No food will be available to buy, but taste some of Denver’s best sweets, coffee and delectable appetizers. Food vendors include: Milk + Cake, Huckleberry Roasters, Ace Eat Serve and more.

Drinks

If you’re worried about whether or not there will be a bar, don’t worry. Because there will be at least five working bars at DFW. They will take cash and card, so come thirsty. There’s one bar in the cocktail area upstairs, two bars in main venue. and two in the Schomp MINI lounge area.
