(SPONSORED) — Yobel will be featured in the Second Annual Fashion with a Purpose, a fashion show on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2025, at Phil Long Music Hall at Bourbon Brothers in Colorado Springs.

The event will feature fashions from pre-owned and fair-trade local retailers while shining a light on how your fashion choices can impact the underground world of labor and human trafficking.

Yobel will have their clothes on the runway and will be speaking at the event as well.

Yobel is a men’s and women’s ethical and sustainable fashion boutique located in downtown Colorado Springs behind COATI.

The clothing store is owned by husband and wife Clay & Emily Ross. Yobel partners with artisans and vendors worldwide who create products through fair trade and ethical practices which ensure dignified work, fair wages, and safe working conditions for employees.

Yobel has now fully moved into a new building after a fire destroyed their store in 2023. After looking for a new location all of 2024, they signed a lease for a space in the historic Trolly Block on South Cascade Avenue.

You can find their store at: 517 S Cascade Ave Ste E, Colorado Springs, CO 80903. You can also shop online by visiting their website here.

Yobel is also home to The Look Up Gallery which started July of 2022. The Look Up Gallery is a space that highlights large scale, abstract and impressionistic local artists. Shows rotated monthly debuting on the First Friday of each month and artists were booked through 2025.

Clay and Emily’s hope is that through awareness and equitable trade, marginalized people of the world may be offered the hope of freedom and abundant life.
