For the past 14 years Denver talent has shown what it can do with paper and scissors. Making gorgeous, out-of-this-world creations, all using paper. The Paper Fashion Show in years past has coincided with the coming of spring. It’s an amazing show that will wow you and inspire you. Last year I had the opportunity to sit in the media section and get a close up view of every dress and design. You can check out last year’s event here.

This year promises to be even bigger and better than last. The One Club For Creativity (formally The Art Directors Club Denver) spotlights emerging talent in the fashion, art and music communities of Denver and surrounding areas.

The show is judged by local area designers, artists and celebrities. The Paper Fashion Show benefits Downtown Aurora Visual Arts organization,(www.davarts.org)

 …a local community organization that provides after-school arts programs for at-risk youth. Combining art and technology, DAVA programs emphasize innovation, problem-solving, and connection to community. While arts education can connect to careers in the arts, at DAVA they do much more. Their unique approach results in students not only gaining skills in art, but also valuable education, job, and social skills in preparation for a wide range of life aspirations. By participating in the Paper Fashion Show, you are giving youth the opportunity to gain important social skills that directly transfer to positive youth development.
