This November, the mountains are calling — and they’re dressed in couture.
Denver Fashion Week returns November 8–16, 2025, and I’m beyond excited to announce that KADEN & KAI® will be part of the action on opening day - Sustainability Day, Saturday, November 8th.
This season’s lineup celebrates movement, sustainability, and the bold creative spirit of the Rockies. The week kicks off with the Sustainable Fashion Show — where eco-forward designers and circular-fashion innovators redefine what it means to create with purpose.
To that end, KADEN & KAI will debut, Verdasil™, our signature sustainable silicone, alongside the launch of our newest release -- The Galaxy Collection - inspired by the movement and mystery of the cosmos. All items will be available for purchase from 7pm to 9:30pm.
Behind the Scenes
Over the past few months, I’ve been immersed in developing our newest innovation — Verdasil™, a sustainable material engineered for beauty, comfort, and performance.
Verdasil™ is an eco-friendly, vegan-friendly, hypoallergenic, FDA-grade silicone that will never degrade, release toxins, or shed microplastics into the environment.
Simply put, Verdasil™ represents the future of sustainable jewelry — clean, durable, and designed to move beautifully.
Our Process
Each piece is pressed, shaped and finished by hand in my studio - where the goal is to balance sculptural precision with fluid, wearable design.
These pieces are not just meant to be worn — they’re meant to move with you.
Inside the Lineup
Each Denver Fashion Week show has its own vibe — from the bold to the refined. Here’s a peek at what’s coming:

For me, Denver Fashion Week isn’t just another fashion show — it’s a celebration of innovation, sustainability, and community. It’s where independent designers come together to show that eco-conscious can be edgy, and that style can evolve without compromise.
