Fashion Focus Chicago – Coming this October
Le Jardin de L'Amour - BorrisPowell.com
2009 Fashion Focus Chicago will be here before we know it. Coming this October, be on the lookout for shows such as GenArt’s Fresh Faces, Macy’s and it’s Chicago Incubator designers as well as Spring 2010 shows by a few of Chicago’s most talented local designers.
Today we’re going to start with one show that is sure to be a crowd favorite…Le Jardin de L’Amour.
Borris Powell’s Le Jardin de L’Amour is on our top shows to watch list. His talent for creating a killer silhouette in evening and outerwear that make women feel beautiful is what put him on the map – our prediction is that this show is keeping him there. And if that weren’t enough to peak your curiosity, this premier show is rumored to be making good use of the very fashion forward must have detail – the rosette.

Studio-808, Inc. is the brainchild of Erin Creaney, a PR executive with a near-athletic enthusiasm for emerging designers. Finding herself searching the city for great designers with new and different looks, she knew a larger operation was in order. What's more, she felt the world needed to know about the fashion percolating in the Windy City. Thus was born Studio-808.com.
