Parker’s MainStreet Fashion Show Celebrated Fashion While Supporting a Good Cause

This past weekend, The MainStreet Fashion Show brought together members of the Colorado fashion community in support of Hana’s Hope, a local nonprofit. The show featured nine boutiques and designers, over 60 models and an eccentric array of fashion from fur to victorian era dresses and more. 

Hana founded Hana’s Hope after she was diagnosed with breast cancer and faced extreme hair loss. She had previously dedicated her career to creating wigs, but after the amount of love and support that she received from the community following her diagnosis, she founded the nonprofit to pay it forward. The MainStreet Fashion Show, produced by Heather Dyamond, served as a fundraiser for Hana’s Hope, bringing the fashion community together in the process.

For many of the models, it was their first time walking in a runway show. Dyamond herself is a model and wanted this to be an opportunity for those walking to flourish. “There’s nothing you can do wrong with the show today,” she told the models prior to the event. 

Dyamond’s intention with the show was to move fashion away from the city and more to the main street. The event took place at the Studio@Mainstreet in Parker, Colorado, bringing together a variety of attendees to a local venue. The runway was outdoors and although the fall air was crisp, it was a beautiful setup for a night celebrating fashion and a good cause. 

The night began with a collection from Tamara Nasar called Runway Woof. As an international designer, she created this collection for her American market for pet owners to match their outfits with their furry friends. The collection featured lots of textures with velvets, satins, silks and shimmers that adorned matching dresses for dogs. The collection was elegant and luxurious, and the furry friends truly stole the show.

Chantal Goethals brand, Goecha, was to follow with quite a unique collection. The brand is known for its technical outerwear, activewear and street style apparel. The pieces are meant to be functional and are inspired by nature and all that Colorado has to offer. Two-piece sets were fitted and sequined, giving off an extraterrestrial meets the ’80s in Aspen essence. Overall the collection was euphoric and fun, making for a perfect trendy ski outfit or for a day on the town.
