Fancy Focus

This is the first installment of a new monthly feature where we set our sites on events happening in the Denver area to pass along our suggestions to you. For the first installment we are focusing on an event that pairs a local designer with a local DJ, Ideal Woman: 36-24-36.

The Ideal Woman, is described by the artist Allie Pohl's on her website as, "a unique exhibition that comments on the female body in its idealized form - encouraging visitors to grab and squeeze the sculptural forms which reflect the measurements of the perfect woman. This exhibition will feature high definition videos, emerging sculptural forms and edition 2 of the Ideal Woman: Necklace."

DJ Tyler Snow, who hosts a monthly dance night at the Meadowlark entitled Disco Nouveau, will be spinning tunes at the opening reception from 6pm-10pm this evening at Hinterland. There will be another opening event Friday April 2nd and the exhibition will be on view at Hinterland through April 23rd.

Spring Accessories and a Sneak Peak...

With spring comes new ideas and new product lines at Fancy Tiger Clothing. The first new designer, Sweet Evie hails from Los Angeles and builds on this theme of growth with these indigenous designs and use of natural materials. Charlotte Kruse, the designer behind Sweet Evie is combining her interests in nature, texture, color, fashion, history, art and music to create this bold line of handcrafted accessories.

Recycled Leather Single Leaf Necklaces

Our second in a series of new spring lines comes from our own backyard of Boulder, CO. Perla Lu is a mother/daughter creative partnership that works with that same concept of nature but fuses it with man made innovations such as the addition of the zipper to the natural form of the flower broach pictured below. These one-of-a-kind creations are sure to inspire any of your spring looks.

Petal Pink Broach

Poppy of Love Broach

Felt Fun Earrings

And last but certainly not least we did not forget about all the fashionable men out there. Our sneak peak focuses on a new line of classic menswear from Farah that's expected to hit the store next month. The Farah label came about in the 1920s but it was not until the 1970s in the UK that the line reached the cult status it holds today. Farah's introduction to Fancy Tiger Clothing brings about a change that introduces a timeless look at men's fashion to the Denver area, taking it to the next level. This new collection will also bring men's pants into the store providing an alternative to denim.

Happy Shopping!

New Spring wares @ Fancy Tiger Boutique!

Cash Crop, an all organic line from California, has just entered the Denver vortex compliments of Fancy Tiger Boutique. These guys don't mess around...all organic cotton button ups with contrasting colored epaulets. They even do a stunning 100% p.e.t. "leather" jacket made from recycled plastic bottles that we're considering.

Cheap Monday delivers. Once again we've leaned on this Sweden based brand to provide us with some sweeet standards. A black button up that replaces all others, short and long sleeve gingham and comfort womens pieces that make the Spring that much more welcome. Enjoy.

Fancy Tiger Clothing welcomes Tiny Hearts handmade bags!

There's been a lot of talk recently about our next big move for the store in 2010. The answer: Bags. These handmade gems from the apartment studio of Kim Grassie in Brooklyn are the perfect way to kick off that resolution.

We've brought in 3 sizes of Tiny Hearts bags...the Bridgie, the Saddle Hobo, and the Bridgette. I'll just let the pics speak for themselves.
