Chicago Fashion Vanguard Launch Event
The Curio, the real estate partners behind the redevelopment of The Field Building (DL3 Realty, Riverside Investment & Development and AmTrust RE), along with ESP Presents, joined forces with a newly launched nonprofit, the Chicago Fashion Vanguard, led by a collective of fashion & event industry leaders, to unveil Chicago Fashion Reimagined—an ambitious multi-year initiative designed to position The Loop as a world-class fashion destination.
The invitation-only event, which included Curio VIP Members, drew leaders from The City, and its associated agencies, as well as from the real estate, business, and fashion verticals, and cultural influencers to The Chairman’s Room at The Field Building. The evening included a live model presentation showcasing looks from six Chicago-based designers including Christina Karin, GREYVI, NICZKA and Stephane St. Jaymes, as well as designers from the recent Why Not Petites show: Jayie Chou and In Between Branches.
The event was made possible with beautiful floral arrangements from Hola Lola Floral Co, custom Chicago Fashion candles created by WIXS on Northwest, as well as beverage partners Blacklisted Brandy, Mmmm….Enjoy Wines, and Tequila 1349.
