Fashion Focus Chicago is just around the corner, October 22-25, but are you up to date on your local fashion scene? No need to stress. We’ve already done your homework for you by choosing three of our favorite designers to watch showing at Gen Art’s Fresh Faces in Fashion event, October 24:

Comfy and Cute Day or Night: Imaginary People
Here are two girls who get how most of us live. We work hard, but play hard too and need clothing that feels great on and looks good too. Telo Dunne and Olivia Shanks, admitted party girls, create flowy jersey dresses, vests, and tops that are modern, yet timeless and totally wearable.

Feminine Classics with a Hint of Edge: JLee Silver
We’re so glad Melanie Manego and Jenna Lee Fowler, founders of Fashion Heist, a clothing distribution company, decided to found their own label, JLee Silver. Their pieces are affordable, but that doesn’t mean they spare any detail. You’ll see clothing that is both functional and feminine, a perfect mix for a big meeting or drinks after work!

The Perfect Party Dress: Red Doll by Tatyana Merenyuk
Playful, pretty and party-ready is what comes to mind when we think of Red Doll by Tatyana Mernyuk. Her dresses, skirts and capes are the stuff little girls dreams are made of. Short hemlines and plunging v-necks lend some grown-up sexiness to all the ruffles and bows, making it the ultimate in party attire.

There will be five womenswear and menswear designers and three accessories designers in all at the Fresh Faces event. Get your ticket today and use code PLRG25 to get a 25% discount off the ticket price!
