Melissa May:
Denver’s talented up and coming young designer, Melissa May, is definitely someone to watch out for. With clothing that embodies two distinct worlds, she “draws inspiration from the Incroyables -- a French Revolution-era subculture that dressed in wildly eccentric clothing as a way to celebrate individual freedom and to mock popular culture. Taking this tongue-in-cheek view of popular culture, Melissa creates unique, one-of-a-kind handmade garments that fuse together the worlds of elegant high fashion with rock 'n' roll.”

Fallene Wells:
Fallene moved to Denver from Las Vegas in 2001 and hasn’t looked back since. With her “Let Em Have It!” attitude, custom designs and impeccable styling, she’s a force to be reckoned with. In her own words, “I recently started to pursue my "Passion For Fashion", from the age of 11 I had a vision of becoming a Fashion Designer, sketching out my collections and planning my future shows. My mom gave me an introductory to sewing and have been self taught since.” Bottom line, she's a natural talent with good taste.

Thristonista:
What is Thristonista you might ask? Thriftonista is TaRosa Jacobs. While she may not be a designer per-say, her creativity and styling abilities are what make Thriftonista thrive. “I find inspiration in the unexpected and beauty in the discarded. I believe that shopping should be fun and affordable and that reusing older items, sometimes in new and exciting ways, can allow us to express our creativity and unique senses of style without spending tons of cash. I want to share my love of thrifting, shopping and saving money with the world.” Inspiring words from one ‘thrifty’ gal.
