Cherry Creek Fashion: Jack, you grew up in Colorado and after University you moved to New York for a fashion internship. Describe that experience.
Jack Savoie: I grew up in Colorado and went to Colorado State University for Fashion Design and Merchandising. I moved to New York for an internship with Proenza Schouler, where I worked on their design and development team. When I moved back to Colorado, I started working for A Line, and I also have a fashion blog that I started in 2014 called The Savoie Daily, where I express my style and what I see worldwide. I'm fashion-obsessed and love every aspect of it!
CCF: Tell us more about your blog The Savoie Daily.
JS: @thesavoiedaily (now on Instagram) is a blog I started in 2014 while going into college. I had seen all these other bloggers starting up and making an impact on fashion and I wanted to do the same! I have met so many cool people along the way, worked with some fantastic brands, and have attended multiple fashion weeks in New York. Something I always dreamt of doing! The Savoie Daily website is now a bit rusty because Instagram has become the new personal blog space.
“I find inspiration everywhere. Instagram, magazines, blogs, on the street, and even clients. I am constantly observing what’s happening around me and if I like it, I will most likely try to find something similar.”
CCF: You are now a stylist at A Line. How were you first introduced to the boutique?
JS: When I moved back from New York, I needed to get back into the Denver fashion scene. Caleb Tillapaugh, the buyer at A Line contacted me about a stylist position that he thought I would be suitable for and this was two years ago. I have met so many amazing women from all walks of life. Some of these amazing women are now very close friends of mine.
A Line is more than just a store; it is a community. It is a place where everyone is welcome to play and find what expresses their personality best. Not only are we just playing with clothes, but we are making women feel the best they ever have. I get so much joy helping women find that unique piece or even a complete wardrobe!

CCF: How would you describe your style?
With client Rylee Johnston
JS: My style is all over the place! I am a fashion chameleon. I will try it all and see what sticks. I can be edgy one day with funky sneakers and an off-white belt but super polished the next with a suit and Gucci loafers. But if we were to pinpoint my go-to style, I'd say classic looks with a twist, whether that be a fun print or a super unique accessory.
CCF: Where do you find your style inspiration?
JS: I find inspiration everywhere. Instagram, magazines, blogs, on the street, and even clients. I am constantly observing what's happening around me and if I like it, I will most likely try to find something similar.
CCF: Who are your favorite designers and what trends are big this season and what are you most excited about?
JS: My favorite designers include Proenza Schouler, Bottega Veneta, Loewe, The Row, and Fear of God. This season I am loving face prints on shirts and pants, the color red, strapped up tailoring, chunky boots, and cross-body bags.

CCF: How do you style your clients for this new normal?
JS: We are in a time where comfort and functionality are replacing frivolously and fussy. I have more clients coming to me for easier, comfortable pieces. However, I think that there is a fine line of still wanting to be comfy and still put together simultaneously. Have some fun pieces in the wardrobe, so the cozy pieces don't get dull. I think now we are trying to find what works best for our clients which for some means no more blazers and more sweaters, while others who are still working and going into an office need those blazers but want something a bit more fun than the usual.
