Savvy
shoppers who snub standard store labels spice up their
wardrobes with eclectic indie lines from this metro-chic
boutique in Denver's burgeoning Highlands neighborhood. Owner
and designer Mona Lucero, a spirited 40-something fashionista
who sewed and button-holed her way through New York's Fashion
Institute of Technology, outfits her modish, brick-walled
emporium with funky mix and match threads, handbags, shoes,
and jewelry, the majority of which are created by
up-and-coming local designers and Lucero herself, whose own
trademark line comprises nearly half of the shop's inventory.
And Lucero's self-appointed tagline -- "devotion to style" --
is everywhere apparent, from the kaleidoscopic, eye-popping
window displays and kitschy ceramic artwork to the weathered
wooden tables displaying recycled bracelets |
