Make it work
We might not have the looks of Heidi Klum or the wit of Tim Gunn, but we sure can present a challenge straight out of their reality show, Project Runway —and add a little Chicago twist. Instead of holding auditions with thousands of up-and-coming designers, we turned to the Chicago Fashion Incubator at Macy’s on State Street, the new city-sponsored program that gives six emerging local designers studio space to work in, as well as lessons in marketing and merchandising their designs over the course of a year. Four of the six designers agreed to participate in our challenge to create a piece of clothing inspired by an assigned Chicago building, spending only $50 on supplies. Luckily, no one was “auf’d” at the end of this challenge.

Macy's Incubator Guidelines, not familiar with them, but I have seen some of the work of the designer's work. They seem to believe they can dictate fashion rather than be inspirded by NY/LA & European tread, that's what people buy! Chicago does not have a fashion seen, rather some local designers who see themselves as designers in "the fashion industry". Chicago is a very small pond, that is less recognized than Atlanta , Dallas, & San Fran market. Noone outside of Chicago recognizes Chicago.
Evil Kitty's is the BEST! Lydia is one of Chicago's most talented designers... and a friend of mine. Evil Kitty ROCKS!
Really?Is this what's going to represent the Chicago Fashion Scene?The only one I see really having a vision is Agga Raya.I really feel if Chicago wants to raise to the level of NY Fashion,we need to be more particular in who we choose to represent us.We need to go to the schools!There are so many young talented designers who we disregard because they're students,and b/c of it,they leave to NY/LA. Just b/c these people fit the Macy Incubator application guidelines, doesn't mean they're any good.
Agga Raya's is by far the best. It's execuited the best, looks cool and fashiony, and really reflects the architecture.
Love this concept. Very flattering with the flaps representing the tiers of the Hancock Center.
Does not remind me of Mirina Towers at all. Material does not work and looks cheap. No imagination shown here.
Very cute and flirty for the younger set. Excellent use of pins emulating the windows on the Library, but chiffon sleeves does not bring to mind the gargoyles on top, but nice touch.
Very nice design but would not know that it was representative of Wrigley Field at all.
