As a little girl, my favorite outing was a shopping trip with my mother. She led me to my love for fashion and the hunt for the perfect find! This passion inspired me to open Kouture Consignment six years ago. Everyday, I go to work and do something I love; talk fashion and help women feel beautiful and confident. It has been such a pleasure to see the growth in consignment shopping. Women in particular, have turned towards consignment, loving the opportunity to indulge in high-end designer brands at an affordable price. My customers are also participating in sustainable fashion practices, which I believe is the future of the fashion industry.
With COVID coming to an end, I am looking forward to seeing my returning customers and new customers as well. It is so wonderful to see ladies excited about the opportunity to find fabulous outfits for these post-Covid events! I encourage you all to come to Kouture to celebrate the light at the end of the tunnel. Here are three of my favorite fashion trends to toast the start of the summer season!
LOOK 1: RAVISHING RED
Summer 2021 is bringing an excess of color and bold patterns! Gone are the days of minimalism. This summer celebrates bright hues, including; Poppy Red, Cobalt Blue and Mustard Yellow, with pops of Oranges and Fuchsia. The pattern adds a flirty mood to a classic daytime outfit, as shown in the red Dodo Bar Dress.

LOOK 2: BLAZER & WHITE PANTS
A Chanel blazer is a great way to introduce color to your wardrobe. Pair it with your favorite white jeans and layer chunky vintage jewelry. The beauty of consignment shopping is blending vintage and contemporary styles to create a uniquely individual look.
Vintage Blazer: Chanel // Vintage Necklaces: Chanel // Wide Leg Trouser: Derek Lam // Vintage Pumps: Chanel
Chanel Jewelry - Model’s Own // Chanel Backpack -Model’s Own
LOOK 3: MAXIMUM PRINT
The bland color palette of the last few months is over! We are craving prints and lots of it! We paired this Versace dress with a matching coat in the same print for maximum effect. Pair your printed dress with a pop of pink candy to really command attention on the streets of Cherry Creek!
