Red Hot Runway - Chicago Red Dress Party

Last night RL Fox and I attended the Chicago Red Dress Party's pre-event, Red Hot Runway at Columbia College. Fifteen Columbia students designed red dresses that were judged by the fabulous Chicago socialite, Candace Jordan; Fashion Designer, Miriam Cecilia Carlson; Editor at Timeout Magazine, Kevin Aeh and Founder of XOXO, Jerry Svec. The three finalists won a window at The 900 Shops for their dresses to be displayed!

The Red Dress Party is a national event that creates awareness and raise funds for the research and care of HIV/AIDS patients. The Chicago Red Dress Party will be held on April 16, 2011. For more information or to donate, please go to www.chicagoreddressparty.org.

Anna Hovet F/W 2011 Fashion Show

This past Saturday, our friends at The AZK Group invited us to attend the Anna Hovet F/W 2011 Fashion Show. The show was held at the 900 North Michigan Shops. With wonderful front row seats, we got a chance to see what a talent Hovet really is. The pieces were a mix of trendy, urban wear with a relaxed look and feel. I loved her use of hoods on some of the dresses!

Anna Hovet was the winner of the premiere episode of Kenmore's Facebook reality show! The AZK developed the "#VoteHovet" campaign that was a creative spinoff of the Obama campaign. The models posed with "#VoteHovet" mini flags, buttons and banners at the end of the show. To vote for Anna every Thursday evening between 6:45pm and 7:45pm, you can go to www.facebook.com/kenmore and click "Be a Designer".

Take a look below at some of the designs from the show and go to http://www.annahovet.com/ for more information on the designer.

XOXO,
