We realize it isn’t even officially summer yet, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t prepare you for this autumn’s top trends. It’s all about premium denim, luxe fur and eye-catching details.
By Jae-Ha Kim Chicago Sun-Times May 10, 2005 Marshall Fields’ Glamorama takes a walk on the wild side this year with Glam Rocks — a high-energy mesh of fashion and rock ‘n’ roll. Tickets for […]
In the most visually stunning moment of the evening, a model languidly “flew” high across the stage wearing a luxurious red gown with a 45-foot train trailing behind her. Was she a bride or a member of Cirque du Soleil?
Look out for the lady in red. Make that ladies in red. At this year’s Glamorama, 30 of fashion’s top designers will showcase their one-of-a-kind red gowns, which will be auctioned off later to benefit the Art Institute of Chicago (see sidebar for more information).

The name is Bond. Just Bond. The comely, classically trained lookers in Bond are the musical headliners at Friday’s Glamorama. While it’s tempting to dub the Aussie quartet the Spice Girls of the string set, there’s no doubt these women can actually play.
Two frightened Dalmatian puppies and a beaming baby almost stole the show on the runway Thursday night at the second annual Red Hot Chicago event.

Queen Latifah. Hip-hop star, actress, talk show hostess, author and fashion diva. At 5-feet-9 3/4 inches (and none-of-your-business pounds), the personable artist and star of a Lane Bryant ad campaign is the host of this year’s Fash Bash.
Never mind the peekaboo gowns that displayed ample cleavage of both kinds, and the kicky patchwork outfits were so ugly they were cute. The stylish crowd of 700-plus that attended “Red Hot Chicago” Wednesday night at the House of Blues got quite an eyeful both on and off the runway.
