If you missed it, or were rained in…we were there to cover both video & photo for the headlining fashion shows. Macy’s Designers of Chicago & Abigail Glaum-Lathbury for Fashion Focus. Macy’s presented the next great American designers in a runway exclusive. The presentation featured some of the names-you-need-to-know from Chicago’s design community and the 2009 Chicago Fashion Incubator Designers-in-Residence. If you missed it, no worries. Macy’s will carry some of their lines at Macy’s on State Street.
Abigail Glaum-Lathbury’s Spring 2010 collection was held in the west loop at Prairie Productions. A very modern and conceptual collection Abigail’s show was a breath of fresh air from the formal presentation. Guests were seated on planks of wood and blown up plastic cushions. Her show really reflected how she plays with the ideas of identity and sameness in a show that shifted the relationship between the audience and model.
Fashion Designer Catherine Furio and Parker Manis of the Chicago Incubator Program gave us a call one day to create their lookbook for their Spring/Summer 2010 Collection. billy rood and his team of Tim Musho and assistants also created this video as a teaser to the collection. It finally launched Oct. 21 on furioapparel.com. Make sure you check it out to get a first hand look at the Furio Collection!
