8th Annual Paper Fashion Show - Denver

 1. OUTFIT - Team Creative CoLab+
(Heidi Mendoza , Karen Pellegrin, Dana Smith)


 Paper Fashion Show presented by Denver’s Art Directors Club is the largest paper fashion show in the nation with over 50 design teams registered for the 2012 show held on  March 15th, 2012 .  Entries were submitted and modeled by artists of various ages and winners were chosen in 5 different categories.

Designers create fashions from paper donated by xpedx®. These fashions are showcased at our grand runway show, and voted on by a panel of judges.

Part of the proceeds and auctioned fashion designs from the Paper Fashion Show benefit Downtown Aurora Visual Arts (DAVA), a local community organization that provides after-school arts programs for at-risk youth.

This is the outfit created by my team Creative CoLab+ (Heidi Mendoza, Karen Pellegrin, Dana Smith, who also modeled the dress)




Our Inspiration:
The Ocean's Secret  by: Anne S. Bushby
“Can she be
One of those fabled daughters of the sea
Who ride the billows 'midst the raging storm,
Or on the undulating waves, whose form
Is seen to blend with the calm moonlight ray,
Half hidden by the ocean's foaming spray?
Mermaid or spirit--there she stood,
Immersed in the chill, briny flood!”
