Denver, CO. Sunday, August 11, 2019. ON BUILDING CO FASHION WEEK... In early 2009, I set out to create "...an economically sustainable & a well respected Fashion Industry..." for my new home State of Colorado. I'll spend 2009 through 2011 researching & developing my vision. I invested my valuable time organizing town hall meetings designed to bring key industry organizations & players together.  Due to fear and an attitude of #wrongMINDSET, I received a lot of push back from most of the local fashion groups including the then founder(s) of Denver Design Incubator & president of FGI Denver: their collective argument was that they had plans for their own future #FashionWeek in Denver. POOR MINDSET, Weak Mind.... I was so baffled by their ignorance & blatant short-sightedness: I wondered why we could all not come together to build a one unified, & much stronger, event for the Mile High City. To add to my shock, the then executive director of the Denver Design Incubator & her Founder--a privileged fellow from the Boulder area, literally, wrote me a letter pleading their case as to why I musn't move forward. Talk about small-mindedness. ELEVATING COLORADO'S FASHION INDUSTRY PRESENCE... I was, after all, creating CO FASHION WEEK to put the majestic #CentennialState on the global fashion calendar map, & so what on earth was their problem, I wondered. A DELIBERATE SPARK FOR COMPETITION... I'm obsessed with #Entreprenuership because I fervently believe that it is the most effective way to create very meaningful #wealth. Even better, #Entrepreneurship sparks innovation & innovation fuels #competition--which is guaranteed in order for any business economy to thrive. I TURNED MY REJECTIONS INTO FUEL... Countless meetings with Denver's Office Economic Development got cancelled with one weak excuse after the other. Not deterred, I pressed on & managed to sell my vision to a collective group of individuals & a handful bought into it & off we went. The OFFICIAL LAUNCH IN 2011... After 2 years of brutal rejections, I felt emotionally ready to unveil the vision. Today, my very doubters take the credit without shame. ..And it just cracks me up! -  justic https://www.instagram.com/p/B1CLcrjJ9QA/?igshid=pr2odjgpiu91
