Elizabeth Denneau, owner, artist and designer of CandyStrike, is a native Tucsonan who livens up the town with her original vintage-inspired styles. Many of her edgy fashions are designed for plus size women in defiance of body shaming, Denneau told Downtown Tucson.org. She describes her garments as "Handmade clothes for unapologetic misfits in sizes small-4XL," so if you are looking to support local talent, CandyStrike is the place to go.
