Paper
Fashion Show

For 20 years, The ONE Paper Fashion Show has spotlighted Colorado talent. Since 2004, more than 550 paper fashions have taken the runway, inspiring thousands of art and design enthusiasts.

Designers transform premium papers, donated by leading mills and coordinated by Kelly Spicers, into extraordinary wearable art. Each look is showcased on the grand runway, judged by industry leaders, and honored with category awards and paper-crafted trophies.

This all-volunteer fundraiser supports The One Club for Creativity Denver’s mission to elevate Colorado art and design, while also benefiting Downtown Aurora Visual Arts (DAVA), which provides after-school arts programs for local youth. Community support makes this celebration and its impact possible.
