Often, it seems as if Chicago plays second fiddle to New York and L.A. when it comes to fashion. Occasionally, we see a bit of fashion news coming out of our city, but that's certainly not enough in my opinion. Do we have the talent and resources required to become a top-tier player in the fashion world? If you check out the many components of Latino Fashion Week Chicago, you can easily see the answer should be a resounding "yes."
In its second year, Latino Fashion Week is heating up Chicago's fashion industry this week with numerous events, runway shows, contests and more. The honoree list is impressive--from Broadway stars to media personalities to models. The designers featured are not only showcasing their beautiful clothes, but their personalities and heritage. The events are fun and fresh, and many of them also benefit nonprofit organizations in the Latino community.
If you're searching for something beyond the typical shopping trip and more fulfilling than the regular night out, I suggest you check out one of the events at Latino Fashion Week. It's a great opportunity to learn about emerging designers, Latino heritage in Chicago and what's on the cutting edge of fashion right now. Plus, you're supporting a good cause--you're helping to put Chicago in the fashion spotlight. For more information and a list of events, visit
