FASHION FOCUS CHICAGO 2008 - Allure of Couture

This was Fashion Focus Chicago’s fourth year in production showcasing Chicago’s hidden talent. I attended my first Fashion Focus runway show as a writer for Splash Magazines. The shows took place under the stars and illuminated tents at Chicago’s Millennium Park – Chase Promenade. The Allure of Couture runway show focused on high-end contemporary collections by 13 designers including Mario Pinto (known for styling Michelle Obama), Nick Cave and Abigail Glaum-Lathbury. I was extremely pleased to see over 500 Chicagoans turnout for the show, which lasted 40 mins. The show itself was on par with many shows I've seen during Fashion Week in NYC.
