NYE @ The Convention Center

Do you have a passion for fashion? Are you perpetually impressing people with your dress? Get decked out for Decadence, Denver’s newest New Year’s Eve event, and you’ll have a chance at a thousand dollars in cash. Upon entrance to The Convention Center, “Most Fashionable” contenders will be pulled aside and professionally photographed in front of the step and repeat (logo-emblazoned backdrop). Contestant images are to be judged by a panel of experts during the first week or two in January. The winner will be announced at an upcoming Global Friday at The Church Nightclub. You might want to start planning your outfit now.

Incentivizing style is only the beginning. If you’ve perused the previous two installments of Haute Beat, you know that Ecotek’s teaming up with 303 Magazine to bring you Audio Style, a DJ-soundtracked runway presentation during his 10pm set in the Global Dance arena. American Apparel, The Crypt, Donna Baldwin, Juno Salon and makeup artist Lillian Marsh are all involved. If you’ve been ringside at a 303 catwalk before, you’re well aware of the caliber of production we’re capable of. If not, this is your opportunity to find out what you’ve been missing.

Decide on Decadence. You won’t be disappointed.

George Peele enjoys strapping on height enhancers and aurally ambushing strangers. He is Music Features Editor for 303’s print edition. Keep your eyes peeled for December interviews with dance music twosome Manufactured Superstars and Times Square NYE guru Dante Dunlap. Follow him on Twitter: @Orangepeelmoses.
