In full Fabric Lab fashion, Tran & Josh and friends have assembled a new series of events under the moniker PROTO-TYPE: A Local Designer Trunk Show. The definition of the word prototype is a first form from which varieties or duplicates are made. Fitting language from some of Denver’s most original and ground-breaking thinkers.
The greater premise behind PROTO-TYPE is to enable designers, connoisseurs of good design, and boutique owners to interact on a more intimate level, showcase new ideas, special-order custom creations. Sounds pretty amazing.
