The American SetChicago Takes Its Future Cues From the Archive
The Driehaus Alumni Fashion Show turned the rear-view mirror into a design tool, treating the city's style history as the starting point for where its runway heads next. For an archive-minded desk like ours, that's an approach worth a nod: the clothes Chicago has already worn are being used as a reference, not shelved as nostalgia. It's a reminder that a strong fashion future is often built from a well-kept past. The Midwest's biggest city is putting its own wardrobe history to work.
