This week, CultureHop takes us to the studio of fashion designer and creative visionary Mona Lucero. A true groundbreaker in Denver fashion, Mona has been outfitting fans from Denver and beyond with distinctive clothing and accessories for over 30 years. Her work embodies her mantra, “Devotion to Style,” blending art, design, and self-expression. Using sketches, paintings, and photography, Mona creates original prints and garments that merge fine art with wearable design. Each piece is handcrafted with sculptural draping and often includes found objects, collage, and painting. Her work extends to stage and screen through collaborations with Cleo Parker Robinson Dance, El Centro Su Teatro, and others. To wear a Mona Lucero design is to make a bold statement of artistry, confidence, and joy.
