Sierra Brill, Vail Mountain School student, approached our owner, Rhonda Swenson, at the beginning of the semester with a goal of putting on a Krimson Klover fashion show for her senior project. As part of her project she would also intern with us at the office to learn the day-to-day operations of a fashion manufacturer.

On her first day as an intern Sierra helped us create knitting specifications for the Fall ’13 sweater samples. While this is a long and rather cumbersome process she later said that “for someone enchanted by fashion it was really exciting to learn about how design works.”

With a task like putting together a fashion show, there is a lot of work that must be done. After meeting with the KK team she had checklist of what needed to happen in order to pull off the event.

After locking down her models, Sierra enlisted the help of her photographer father and a few models to have a photo shoot in Vail Village.  The pictures were excellent and we spent some time getting together the images and creating e-blast invitations for the show.

With a date and time set for the fashion show the ball was rolling. During her next few visits to the office Sierra put together looks and model sequences. With the help of the KK team we tweaked them and made sure they were eye-catching.

The day before the show Sierra held a dress rehearsal and even more changes were made to the outfits - shoes were shuffled, accessories were added and colors were altered.

When the show rolled around the next day Sierra had obviously done the work, with woodland decorations, appetizers and a red carpet it was welcoming and elegant atmosphere.

The high-energy models kept the crowd smiling throughout and did an excellent job showcasing the Krimson Klover line.  It was a great success, job well done Sierra and congratulations on finishing off your senior year with a bang!

Highlighting Our Dealers - Wyoming Outfitters

Wyoming Outfitters in Jackson Hole is a one-stop shop with everything from home goods and western wear to active wear and fashion forward clothing. Lou Anne Roush and husband Jeff opened Wyoming Outfitters after many years in the retail game. When a spot opened up in a historic building on the Town Square they jumped at the opportunity to start their own venture.
The husband and wife duo have created a retail space that caters to all your needs and they stand behind every product that they sell.  Wyoming Outfitters has carried Krimson Klover since 2011 and they continue to carry our brand “because the quality is fantastic, the fit is great, and the styles are always unique”.  Lou Anne has quite a few pieces herself and says that she “always feels confident about selling Krimson Klover to [her] customers because [she] knows they will be happy with their purchases and will come back to buy whatever the new season has to offer.”  
As a loyal dealer and customer of Krimson Klover Lou Anne is loving the Heartbreaker for spring and is very excited for the Bolshevik tunic this fall.  As a brand we appreciate customer feedback, the best customer comment Lou Anne has received about Krimson Klover is “I love this dress because it is classic enough for work, but special enough for a party”. We are thrilled to hear it and we couldn’t agree more.

As spring approaches the real wonders of nature peak out from under the snow and the grass turns green.  Spring makes it clear that there is a world out there that needs protecting and nurturing.  At Krimson Klover we take our commitment to the environment seriously, that is one of the many reasons we use high quality, eco friendly wool that is held to the highest of standards.

Wool is an eco friendly fiber that requires far less processing than other materials used for clothing.  Our wool is sourced from farms that treat their sheep humanely and take animal husbandry practices seriously.  In addition to using ecologically sound practices on the farm, our wool is processed in facilities that are certified not only “for their quality, but also for their compliance with international ecological standards.” From the farm to the factory our wool is an environmentally sound material.

Not only does our processing have a minimal impact on the environment, wool naturally possesses a variety of other characteristics that make it a sound choice for a green lifestyle. A completely natural fiber, wool will biodegrade when left in the elements, but as far as clothing is concerned it can withstand quite a bit of wear.  As active people with a zest for style we enjoy the fact that wool will hold up wear after wear, so we can slip into our favorite sweater for years to come. Other benefits of wool include that it doesn’t absorb odors making it a great fabric for active wear. It is a breathable material, which allows it to keep you warm when you are cold and cool in the summer.

Wool has also been gaining traction as a hypoallergenic fiber, as it repels dust mites and absorbs contaminants in indoor air. As we become increasingly conscious of our impact on the environment, wearing really cute and comfortable clothing doesn’t have to drag you down. At Krimson Klover we are making sure we have the sheep, the workers and environment’s best interest in mind and your style doesn’t have to suffer.
