Main Street Fashion Show —Kelsey Straeter

June 2022 @ Wild Goose Saloon, Parker, CO

Kelsey Straeter is originally a model, who is now venturing into the waters of fashion design and styling. Her first ever collection called “FinBadd” was shown at this runway show and featured upcycled pieces inspired by ocean creatures.

Straeter’s message is that it’s not just about the clothing, but about the models that bring that clothing to life and about finding creative outlets to get us through the more difficult times in life.

I was honored to open the show for Straeter and wear not just ONE but TWO of her designs down the runway (with a quick change backstage).
