The Chicago Fashion Fest, celebrating its sixth year, will pair with Chicago’s all-new New Orleans Festival.
The “threading” of the two events (aka Chicago Fashion Fest featuring Chicago’s New Orleans Festival) takes place on Saturday-Sunday, Aug. 23-24, at Division Street and Damen Avenue in the Wicker Park neighborhood. Hours are noon-10 p.m. each day.
For Fashion Fest, there will be local designers (both established and emerging talents), neighborhood boutiques and salons as vendors; more than 20 runway shows; appearances by local and national fashion celebs; hair and makeup experts; a kids’ area; and much more.
