DEN’s Latest Temporary Art Exhibition Pays Homage to the Essence of the Rocky Mountains via Ready-to-Wear Fashion

Denver International Airport’s (DEN) latest temporary art exhibition, Rocky Mountain Reverie: Fashioning the Spirit of the High Country, is a fashion journey that pays homage to the multifaceted essence of the Rocky Mountains. Local firms that work in the built environment (i.e. interior design, construction, furniture dealerships and student groups) are paired with manufacturers to create the garments included in this exhibition.

Rocky Mountain Reverie: Fashioning the Spirit of the High Country was created in collaboration with the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) Rocky Mountain Chapter, which hosts a fashion show called Prêt-À-Porter every other year in the Denver area. The selections on display at DEN are from the 2024 edition of this signature event. Where “finish meets fashion,” Prêt-À-Porter is Colorado’s main stage event for the culmination of architecture, design and inspiring ready-to-wear-fashion. 

This exhibition, on view now through January, is located in Ansbacher Hall on the A-Bridge. It is the first exhibition to be located where Bridge Security was previously located. The space, once a bustling checkpoint, has been transformed into an open, welcoming and calming location.
