WRIGLEY FIELD
SOX TO BE YOU Hassan is no Cubs fan, but she still managed to do justice to Wrigley Field.Photo: Martha WiliamsBackground The baby of the bunch, 22-year-old Hassan grew up with a sewing-addicted mother and grandmother, and by high school the fashion bug had finally bitten this self-proclaimed tomboy. Since graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in fashion design from the Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago in 2006, the Orland Park native has been freelancing and building her eco-friendly line, organiK Revolution.
Structural challenge “Being a Sox fan, this was a little tough to swallow…[and] my heart is still with the Sox,” Hassan says. Wrigley’s iconic wall of ivy in the outfield inspired the designer’s fabric color choice for the cropped motorcycle-style silk jacket, while the sportier, striped cotton lining calls to mind the columns surrounding the park. Noteworthy details such as the woven, two-tone back of the jacket, the ruched-on-the-inside popped collar and the hand-draping on the organic bamboo black knit dress reflect Hassan’s emphasis on texture and details, which particularly stand out among her clean silhouettes and monochromatic ensembles.
Where to find her designs The fall collection features both sexy evening wear such as a hemp-silk, ruby-colored bustier, along with casual, daytime-appropriate pieces like a black soy jersey wrap dress (which resembles the work of local design star Lara Miller, with whom Hassan interned). Get info on buying organiK Revolution looks, including a modified version of the dress she created for TOC, through her website, organikrevolution.com.

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.
