Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Brandi McMichael of Fashion Denver to discuss all things fashion, as well as my podcast, Catching the Editor’s Eye. For years, Fashion Denver has been a champion of grassroots creativity and local makers, making it the perfect platform to talk about what it truly takes to carve out an independent path in today's fashion landscape. In this article, I discuss why the industry needs to give independent designers a bigger platform, why product is always king, and how to build a fashion career beyond the international capitals. Read "Beyond the Runway" feature here.
