About this Event

Fashion Denver brings the runway to the fête with our French Fashion Show at Bastille Day French Fest 2026!

Strike a pose, Denver! The 3rd Annual Bastille Day Community Fashion Show, powered by Fashion Denver, returns to Fillmore Plaza to celebrate French-inspired style with a local twist. From Parisian street chic to bold haute couture, this runway experience brings together Denver’s most creative designers to interpret the spirit of liberté, égalité, créativité through fashion.

Expect a runway that’s full of personality, community energy, and cultural pride—not your typical high-fashion catwalk. Whether it’s stripes and berets or avant-garde silhouettes, each look tells a story that says bonjour to beauty, culture, and imagination. Come for the fashion, stay for the flair!

About Fashion Denver

Fashion Denver was founded in 2004 by semi-retired handbag designer Brandi McMichael (formerly Shigley) as a vibrant platform to spotlight and support local designers. What began as a way to connect creatives and amplify their voices quickly grew into a full fledged hub of fashion-forward activity. From running a downtown boutique (2008–2011) to hosting seasonal fashion markets, offering hands-on business workshops, consulting emerging brands, and even launching fashion camps for kids—we are passionate about community, creativity, and courage. Now in our 21st year, we’re dusting off the runway and getting ready to celebrate with a signature market that brings it all back to where it began: heart, hustle, and Denver style.
