Taken at OhNo!Doom Gallery | 1800 N Milwaukee Ave | Chicago, IL

On the particular night of this art show the weather was below zero. I bundled up, a bit, knowing I was going to be in a warm, packed room full of people. Though, it was interesting to see how extreme(or moderate) people will go in that type of climate. One girl was actually wearing a sequined mini skirt and open toe shoes. It was quite a sight.

The photos above are great examples of warm winter attire. I've been noticing a lot of fur collars and toggle coats this year and I'm enjoying both. So, what do you guys think...fashion or function?

 

Last week I attended Factio Magazine's fall Issue launch party held at 4 Art in Pilsen. For the event, Factio teamed up with Dismero, a chic Italian sportswear line, to bring their guests live entertainment at its finest.

The entertainment came by way of a staged clothing shoot featuring Dismero's fall collection, which was being shot by photographer, Marco Pedde. Guests stood around noshing on designer sushi catered by Kohan and sipping fun, blue beverages by Hpnotiq, while gorgeous models(and some real people) got their pictures taken. The experience was definitely a dream come true for any fashion follower.

Autumn from Solemates...Chicago




The boy above says he's not wearing his Marching Band Jacket to be ironic. He actually says it will be a key player in his winter wardrobe.What do you guys think about that? Statement pieces as staples. Discuss.
