Sneaker World Icons Tastemaker Talk

The Curio and The Emily Hotel partnered on a Tastemaker Talk & Reception featuring Yohance LaCour and Dave Jeff, moderated by The Curio’s Maggie Gillette. Guests enjoyed a spirited discussion on how sneaker culture revolutionized modern fashion with lots of great stories about the evolution of what sneakers meant to the Chicago community over the past several decades. The talk was followed by a festive reception in the upstairs Selva Lounge. Delightful rose & regular prosecco as well as Pinot Grigio was provided courtesy of Mmmm…Enjoy Wines.
