Men have it easy, there is never a doubt that their pants or other clothing for that matter are going to come equip with pockets. This functional fashion statement has now made its way to women’s fashion. Now I know this is not the first season we’ve seen pockets in more feminine fashion but this seems to be the first season we’re seeing pockets in just about everything.
Take this spring's dresses and skirts from Tulle as an example. Tulle has done an excellent job of adding this functional element to their women’s wear in a less obvious fashion. Here we find pockets hidden along seam lines almost invisible to the un-trained eye.
Even Cheap Monday is getting in on the action this year with more of a cargo appearance to their take on pockets. These pockets become a statement piece placed prominently on the front of the garment.
So when your shopping for new staples for your Spring wardrobe consider adding a few more pockets to your life.
On a local note, Fancy Tiger Clothing will be taking over the runway at the culmination of Create Denver Week as one of the featured stores participating in the Mix and Assemble Fashion Show. Don’t miss your opportunity to check out some great local fashions, music and art all in one place the Hi-Dive this Saturday April 17th from 7pm-1am.

Laser cut wares are just about everywhere you turn now a days. They add an intricate feel to just about whatever material designers are experimenting with. We recently received a shipment of “Hi-Tech Craft” accessories from The Harbinger Company based in San Francisco.
The Harbinger Company was started by Yvonne Hung as a way to use ordinary materials to create extraordinary everyday objects. Each of these intricate designs are hand drawn in the conceptual phase, drafted on a computer, sent to the laser cutter, hand-assembled by the designer, and then boxed in locally printed packaging. The result is “pieces that feel good to the hands, nice to the eyes, and friendly to the environment.”
Why not do something nice for yourself and the environment and check out these ethical designs.
Whether you know them as braces or suspenders these elasticized straps are back to hold up your spring fashions. These American-Made alternatives to belts are now available in three different colors: navy, black and red so why not spruce up your spring style with a nod to the past.

PechaKucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.
It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creatives worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images x 20 seconds. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace. This event is hosted by AIA Denver, click here for a list of the presenters.

Competitors face off in a head-to-head, elimination-style battle on two video screens. The battle format pushes the art of VJing to the edge, inspiring new levels of creativity, skill and innovation.
