312 Fashion Series Recap
The 312 Fashion Series last weekend was a huge success. The three days of shows at Loft on Lake featured Jess Audey, Kate Boggiano, Borris Powell and Anna Hovet on Thursday, April 8th, Lara Miller on Friday, April 9th, and Horacio Nieto on Saturday, April 10th.
Thursday night showcased the fall collections of the four featured designers. Jess Audey’s collection showcased her classic styles with fall patterns and colors including oranges and browns. Anna Hovat included a variety of hoods and leggings and her signature contrasting fabric panels. Her color pallet included white, black, and purple. Kate Baggiano showed a feminine collection that featured a light blue button down day dress and a white ruffle trimmed cropped jacket. Boris Powell’s collection was the same one he featured at London Fashion Week. His looks included elegant ball gowns and a structured coat.
Friday night showcased the Fall/Winter collection of Lara Miller. The show had an artistic flair featuring painting studies rigged into bags as accessories. Her collection was eco-friendly and convertible as we have come to love and expect from Miller. Models converted their outfits while walking the runway. With the changes Miller showed countless chic looks on the catwalk.
The final show on Saturday night showcased the Fall/Winter collection of Horacio Nieto. His collection featured Arlo Menwear and Womenswear. The menswear collection featured structured military jackets with high collars and gray trousers. Nieto accessorized with scarves, gloves, and boots. His womenswear collection featured structured mini dresses and coats in jeweled and rose tones. His looks were edgy and slightly futuristic with straight lines and unique shapes. The models completed the look with twisted faux hawks and killer sky high booties and boots.
The entire runway series was an event to remember. Hopefully there will be more events from 312 Fashion in the future!

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.
