I spent this summer working as Brooks’ intern. Going into it, I had open expectations for what the experience would give me, but I truly never could have imagined up the thoroughly immersive and formative experience that our time together was. Since I met Brooks in March, I’ve looked up to her straightforward, discerning demeanor which demands authentic respect. At the same time, there is an alluring warmness about her. These attributes translate to her bold yet fluid apparel design; she knows what she likes yet prioritizes the user experience. This quickly became clear to me after listening to her speak about the way she views her work, as well as after pleasurably comprehensive exposure to the range of tastes Brooks has tackled in clothing since she began designing in the 1970s (the best of which she has archived in her atelier downtown Denver). Brooks taught me invaluable lessons about successful apparel construction and design, the art of ironing, fabric assessment and sourcing. I also learned a great deal of life lessons from her wisdom and through watching the ways she interacts in the world. I consider myself lucky to have spent the summer with Brooks, it was an experience that I know will continue to learn from for years to come. Brooks is timely, professional and truly passionate about the work she does. I highly recommend collaborating with Brooks in any way, shape or form. I would go as far to say that Brooks is a visionary… someone to be revered and remembered for her impact on the Denver fashion scene and beyond.Service: Alterations

Brooks designed a mother-of-the-groom dress in 2016 for me. The entire experience, from concept discussion to initial design sketches to material choice to final dress, was a joy to experience. Brooks listened to my ideas of the perfect dress and internalized those ideas into the final design. The dress fits my body, flatters my coloring, and makes me feel comfortable and beautiful. What more could I ask for?

Brooks designed and created my custom wedding dress! It was such a fun process, she listened to what I initially wanted, and added her expertise and creativity - it all resulted in a one-of-a-kind dress that was vintage-inspired, beautifully crafted, and the fabrics & design were perfect for the occasion - AND it fit like a glove! Brooks included my best friend and I on the process, we met her at the fabric store, and in her fabulous studio multiple times. She also created a custom headpiece with a birdcage veil and a fun belt for the dress. All in all, this was such a great experience - for me, it was 200% better than spending months at bridal shops, never really finding what I wanted. Thank you!

I'm a fiber artist and have long admired Brook's work. I knew when I asked her to create a one-of-a-kind piece incorporating my own artwork that she would do something amazing; something special that I could wear to opening and special events. I'm so thrilled with my new jacket that I've asked for 2 more pieces.

Brooks LTD has been designing and creating for me for about five years. She made my mother-of-the bride dress in brocade for my daughter's wedding and she created a modern two piece suit for me for a high end event that I attended this year. Both pieces were exquisite and brought many admiring compliments. Most importantly, I felt great in both ensembles. Brooks is a dream to collaborate with. She develops instant rapport and was empathetic and attentive when I described the looks that I wanted. She uses the finest fabrics and the outcomes were exactly what I had desired. I highly recommend Brooks if you're looking for an experienced and talented designer and want to feel special for an important event. I'm looking forward to working with her again soon! I'm hosting a huge party at my home, and I want to feel confident and radiant when greeting my guests!

I met Brooks through her work with Sue Miller Day of Caring Fashion Show fundraiser in early 2017. I was chosen as a model for the event and was flattered to also be selected to wear a dress designed by Brooks. The fitting process was a new experience for me and Brooks put me at ease as she took time to get to know me before suggesting one of her designs. She worked her magic and the dress was a perfect fit! The color, style and fabric reflected my personality while complimenting my features. Brooks was a delight to work with and I would recommend her highly.

For a very special Denver event I chair'd I decided I wanted a special dress. I was given Brooks name and decided to take a leap of faith and treat myself. From the very beginning it was like a fairy tale. Books is friendly and patient and oh so talented. She took my budget, ideas and my thoughts, picked a wonderful fabric and transformed all of that into the most fabulous dress. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end, and so fun to work with someone who cared so much about me and helping me to feel beautiful. Truly a Joy!

I had the privilege of being selected as one of Brooks models for the Sue Miller Day of Caring Fashion Gala. Brooks created an ensemble that was exquisite. Being so easy to work with she took the time and energy to make sure that I looked fantastic. Thank you Brooks!
