Baselayer “Comes Out” at Aspen International Fashion Week at 2014 Polarmax Show

 

Polarmax recently traveled to Aspen to show off our new 2014 baselayer line at Aspen International Fashion Week! 

 

After flying into the Denver airport we were on the road to Aspen!

After several detours and a lots of beautiful pictures of the mountains we had finally arrived!

Welcome to Aspen! 

 

Soon it was onto Day 1 of the Aspen Insternational Fashion Week.  We got to take a look at the 2014-2015 looks for  brands like Dennis Basso, Perfect Moment, and Columbia…

And now it was Polarmax’s turn! We just could not wait until the next day!

Baselayer has traditionally been a category that is hidden under other layers of clothing, but our new line represents a new emphasis  on fashion and  a “coming out” for baselayer apparel. 

Hair and makeup was underway backstage when we arrived for rehearsal that morning!

Before we knew it, it was showtime! Introducing the new Polarmax 2014-2015 line!
