Fashion Group International (the organization of the movers and shakers in the fashion industry) just awarded Fashion Group International-Denver (FGI-D) the coveted “Special Event Award” for Rising Star 2009: Fashion by Design Runway Gala. The award is a major coup and another step in putting Denver on the fashion map.

 DVLP was thrilled when were selected as a Rising Star and proud when we took home top prize for best urban/streetwear line. The event was amazing so we weren't surprised to hear FGI-D won the award.

Congratulations everyone who worked on Rising Star 2009! The recognition is well deserved!
