Having been named “one of the fastest-growing American fashion platforms” by Forbes Magazine, 303 Magazine‘s Denver Fashion Week (DFW) is returning for another fall season and in true DFW fashion, we’re making this season bigger and better than the last. We’ve added more designers, more shows and more nights.
This year we have nearly 40 designers to bring to the DFW runway; some veterans to the stage and some fresh to the fashion scene. We’ve also added a runway show to a total of five fashion-filled nights. And our longest-running show, The Hair Show, has taken on an entirely new concept and vision. It will now be called Avant-Garde night and it’s going to be as extra and elegant as it sounds.
Below are all the designers and their nights to see them rock the runway. From new runway shows on different nights to new designers joining the impressive past designers of DFW, this is a season already promises to be our biggest one yet.

For the second season, we’ve handpicked new local artists to collaborate with DFW designers we think will complement and accentuate each other’s styles and creativity. They’ll come together to design and create clothes that represent themselves and each other. See our “mash-ups” below and then see them come to life on the runway.

These are the designers that have been a DFW staple for the past several years. They are also featured in our Best of Denver Fashion Week Exhibit and our Denver Fashion Week pop-up markets because they truly are, some of the best of Denver Fashion Week. At the core, DFW is made to support and showcase our Denver designers and in addition to our DFW veterans, there are some brand new designers gracing the DFW runway. This night is truly the grand finale.
