Alaska Fashion Week

A few of the powerful women behind the scenes! On the left, Phoenix, who spent days staging the HQ with furniture from her apartment and beyond, her creativity and willingness to see that every last detail was dialed in is unmatched.

Middle, Cordova, dreamer and producer.

On the right, Brooke! After selecting our Designers & Models, she prepared the model portfolios, created the designer lineup and how the collections would walk, took the lead correspondence in communication between designers, models, and AKFW. Not to mention, she also premiered her own label on the runway this year, Finesse Denim! Upcycling denim with her hand painted artwork. Many of her pieces are available at in Juneau!

Thank you ladies!
