On Monday, Rustin shared Tellason with you– a denim company that produces stylish, durable jeans that are sourced, cut, & sewn right here in the U.S. of A. In continuation of the “think global, act local” fashion theme, I’d like to share with you “Sidewalks.” We love when friends have new, creative, ideas– and we love to enrich your lives by passing them on!
Chelsey Ann is a Denver local and talented young fashion designer. Sometime late April she’ll be launching Sidewalks: a website that features the street-wear styles of everyday people. The idea is similar to LookBook in that it offers a resource for people to discover new trends in fashion. What differentiates Sidewalks, however, is the photos posted will not be taken of obscure occupants of a distant region. Instead, they’ll be candid shots of YOU, Denver! Chelsey Ann, the creative genius behind the site, is on a mission. She will be sacrificing sleep, privacy [and possibly her liver], to become your personal paparazzi. Chelsey will be taking it to the streets of Denver to catch all of you fashion-forward folks in your best-dress. Then, she’ll post photos of you for the world to see, judge, and impersonate.
That’s not all, though. The best part? After your leather jacket/sun dress/Chuck Taylors combo hits the world wide web, this fashionista will break down the outfit for readers. She’ll offer finely tuned art-school commentary on the styles and provide direct links to similar (if not the same) pieces online! You’ll be able to pick up new unique styles without spending your weekends hanging out in front of City O City- waiting to stalk the hipster you just saw walk in wearing those ambiguously labeled “perfect jeans.”
Here’s an example of what’s to come:
Save the lack of commentary from our wardrobe wiz, this is a pretty good idea of what the site will offer. As the blog grows, the plan is to let followers know when and where “Sidewalks” will be hittin’ the town so they can accessorize accordingly. There is even opportunity for collaborations with venues and other sponsors to throw parties/events challenging attendees to show up donning their dopest duds (similar to the Paparazzi for the People parties thrown by Beauty Bar and Denver’s own Sarah Ford).
Moreover, a site like this is potentially revolutionary for the Denver Fashion sector. The allure of having one’s unique uniform showcased online incentivizes everyday people to become more involved in the fashion community. With proper backing by the industry this thing could really take off. Show your support by liking the Sidewalks Facebook page, and stay up-to-date with the latest releases by following the temporary teaser blog established HERE.
The weekend is near. So, start dressing to kill Denver… Sidewalks awaits.

Wood is one of [if not] the single most sustainable resource(s) on our beautiful planet. Trees are naturally renewable. With responsible manufacturing waste is virtually eliminated by creating products out of wood. There is far less energy and fossil fuels that go into their production. The durability of a finished wood product contributes to it’s longevity, not to mention the fact that wood stores carbon– thereby reducing the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere. And finally, at the end of their initial life-cycle wood products are very easily recycled for other uses!
