JTA’s initiative focuses Colorado fashion industry

  JTA Fashion Productions and The JTA Group, head quartered in Denver/Boulder, Colorado, is launching a ground breaking economic and business development initiative. The initiative is focused at the Colorado fashion industry.

The multidisciplinary agency, specializing in individualized talent development, entertainment career management, personal branding, guerrilla marketing and fashion show production, is committed to guiding Colorado in becoming the true creative capital of the West that it aspires to be.
