hello
Chicago is famed for a great number of defining elements – windy winters, hot dogs, soulful blues clubs, baseball, and a rippling Lake Michigan as the backdrop of landmark skyscrapers. But for many, style is not something that comes to mind as a characteristic of this metropolis, nestled into the heart of the Midwest. Yet, along with those other pieces, it is a city that is steeped in architecture, fine arts, music and theater, and culinary creativity; it seems only fitting that fashion should be part of the puzzle.
This website explores where fashion is hiding in the nooks of great big Chicago, a place with its own magical mix of grit and glamour. Through conversations with local designers, fashion students and professionals, and seasoned stylistas, the stories creates a picture that shows what the potential is for the city to become a center of fashion. Enjoy!
