Picture Packet Fall 1Fall 2010 is shaping up to be a fantastic season, with designers working an expansive range of styles for women.

But the best part of the upcoming season is checking out the new lines Denver’s retailers are bringing to town. Here’s a look at just a few of the collections we’re excited to see this fall:
