ABOUT THE DENVER DESIGN INCUBATOR
The Denver Design Incubator (DDI) is Colorado’s first and only fashion design incubator, focused on education and business development to assist with turning creative ideas into successful and sustainable businesses.  The DDI, based centrally in Downtown Denver, carries out its mission and vision by supporting, educating and empowering designers with the appropriate skill-sets to be successful in the Fashion Industry. The DDI is a place of creativity and innovation for designers to build upon an already established fashion and design knowledge base.

DDI offers an intensive two-year program that will accept three to seven applicants committed to advancing themselves and their businesses. Designers-in-residence will be immersed in a real world setting of a design studio in an apparel manufacturing company. They will receive mentoring from established fashion professionals to help them take their ideas from a concept to a money making business. Designers-in-residence will attend classes based upon a customized curriculum to take their skills to the next level.  Classes will also be offered to the public in areas ranging from design to pattern making to production to business planning to fashion law.
