Last night, I had the pleasure of attending the Vert Couture fashion show, part of Chicago’s Fashion Focus week, which showcased some wonderful sustainable fashion by Chicago designers. I was initially drawn to the show, because I heard that Vaute Couture would be showing their designs, and I have been interested in seeing their clothing in person. However, I was exposed to a slew of Chicago-based and sustainable clothing designers such as Frei Designs, Mountains of the Moon, Bryant McLemora Smith Vintage, the Fashion Institute Student Collective, shoes by Mohop and Kahlia footwear and accessories from Fanta Chelah. It really was a fun night with some great fashions. I really do believe there is great momentum for a movement and future in sustainable fashion and I’m happy that Chicago designers are a part of it.
My only regret? That I didn’t get the chance to try one of the vegan cocktails.
Here are a few pictures of the show:
