Circa1856 recently participated in the 2010 Chicago Showcase, a celebration of Chicago and its artisans, held at the Holiday Inn Chicago Mart Plaza held on November 12th.
The evening included cocktails with models among the crowd displaying clothing and jewelry available for purchase from local artisans. Following the cocktail hour, where the fashion and artisanal communities converged, a fashion show commenced where many of the designers were able to see their clothing on the runway stage for the first time.
Immediately following the fashion show were sweets and shopping with some of Chicago’s social and philanthropic leaders who particularly love custom designs.
Thank you to Marsha Brenner from the Apparel Industry Board for putting this unique event together!
