Denver Fashion Week (DFW), Colorado’s all-inclusive and largest fashion event, returns for another season Nov. 12-20. Produced by 303 Magazine, the event celebrates local, national and international fashion while elevating the economic development of the Denver fashion industry.
This fall, DFW will provide a platform for emerging and sought-after designers through week-long runway shows held at The Sports Castle, a Non Plus Ultra venue. With an Art Deco-inspired façade, original stained glass accent windows and turn-of-the-century interior details, this four-story building is an icon in downtown Denver, offering an entirely new show experience.
This season’s nonprofit partner is Dress For Success Denver, an organization that empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the development tools to help women thrive in work and life.
