Sacred Threads is an evening runway presentation by MM Productions featuring independent Chicago designers within the restored architecture of Epiphany Center for the Arts, bringing the runway into a candlelit realm of adornment, reverence, and ceremonial escape. Inspired by old-world ornament, ancient royalty and romantic symbolism, the presentation places contemporary Chicago fashion within a setting shaped by history, ritual, and transformation. The evening unfolds through meditative sound, live performance, and resinous fragrance woven throughout the space. Together, these elements move the room beyond spectacle, drawing guests into a heightened state of attention. Reimagining the traditional fashion show, Sacred Threads becomes a living environment where clothing, architecture, sound, light, and ceremony are brought together as one complete experience.

Dress Code: An Evening At Court
Formal evening dress required.
Floor-length gowns, formal evening ensembles, tuxedos, dinner jackets, and polished suits with dress shoes are expected. Cultural dress is also welcome. In keeping with the world of Sacred Threads, guests are encouraged to draw from old-world romance and the grandeur of ancient royalty, expressed through ceremonial silhouettes, rich textures, and considered adornment. Velvet, silk, satin, lace, brocade, and embroidery may be complemented by draping, capes, trains, opera gloves, heirloom-inspired jewelry, sculptural accessories, and expressive headpieces. Creative, historically inspired, and dramatic interpretations are welcome. The overall appearance should feel refined, reverent, and richly composed.
Guests are asked to avoid everyday casual attire, athletic wear, and overly informal footwear.
