As the last unofficial month of the summer season gets underway, Denver’s fashionistas intend to go out in style with plenty of parties. Here’s a roundup of August’s major shindigs:

One of the most anticipated events of every summer season is the Riverfront Park Fashion Show [2]. Come rain or shine, on Saturday, August 11, Denverites will be treated to a fashion show hosted by Garbarini [3] (showing Halston Heritage and Tracy Reese [4]) and Mariel (showing Alberto Makali [5]), along with food and cocktails from Coohills [6], Fogo de Chão [7], Zengo [8], and the soon-to-open Al Lado [9], plus dessert from Happy Cakes Bakeshop [10]. The evening’s proceeds benefit the Denver Health Foundation.

Join local Project Runway [12] alum Fallene Wells [13] on August 24 as she unveils her new Fall Friperie capsule collection (pictured above). Inspired by 1930s newsboy looks, the line is vintage-inspired but easily mixes with today’s wardrobe staples, making it functional for modern-day girls. Items will be available for (a limited-run) order or purchase at the event, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Mile High Red Cross [14].

Tickets are $35 and available at fallene.net [15].

One of the leading lingerie boutiques in Denver—indeed, in the entire country—SOL [16] is celebrating its 15^th anniversary this month. On August 29, guests can meet co-owners and sisters Cindy Johnson (the expert fitter) and Jeanie Peterson (the business brain) while sipping champagne, indulging in desserts, and taking advantage of in-store promotions. The evening will benefit the Morgan Adams Foundation [17], which raises funds and awareness for pediatric cancer.
