Local Fashion Designer Fallene Wells Presents Fall Line at
Modern Nouveau: Fall Friperie

On Friday, August 24 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Denver fashion designer Fallene Wells will launch her fall line Modern Nouveau at the event Modern Nouveau: Fall Friperie at Walker Fine Art Gallery, 300 W. 11th Avenue.

In addition to featuring Wells’ Parisian- and 1930s-inspired collection of interchangeable pieces, the event will highlight local Denver storeowners and designers with the pop-up store Swank and presence of the I Heart Denver store. Swank will feature local vendors La Samara Studios, Kitty Mae Millinery, Ink Jewelry and Ru Fabricates just to name a few.

“My collection, Modern Nouveau, is about creating fun vintage inspired layered pieces that can be mixed and matched to create endless outfits. I want to give the consumer more options to express their personal style through mixed prints and separates,” said Wells. “I’ve always been in love with the stylish disheveled look of the newsboy from the 30s, my starting inspiration for this collection. I’m very happy with the outcome: it presents many possibilities, it’s easy to wear and has a punch of personality.”

Wells’ designs will be available for purchase and order at the event. Guests will enjoy music by DJ Matthew Brown while experiencing the fashion display and shopping local designs. Please visit www.fallene.net to purchase $35 tickets. A portion of the proceeds will benefit The Mile High Red Cross. Limited tickets are available.
