CHIC in Chicago: 35 Years of Fashion With AIBI (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798354210350)

A collection of sketches unmatched in talent and history!

The Chicago fashion industry is a complex arena, budding from a city rich with creative entrepreneurship. With multiple art schools and bustling shopping districts, Chicago is one of the greatest places for a designer to bring their ideas to life. The rich network of alteration shops turned small sample studios, and large factories give Chicago designers a broad range of resources and options for manufacturing.

Apparel Industry Board, Inc. was created in 1987, with the purpose of cultivating new designers and supporting existing designers in the Chicagoland area. For the 35th anniversary, AIBI is happy to present this coloring book which is a culmination of some of Chicago's remarkable design talent. All proceeds from this project will benefit our scholarship and educational programs.

In this book, you will find everything from ballgowns to streetwear spanning 35 years of fashion trends. Beautiful couture ensembles and fun, flirty daywear mix and mingle in this showcase of fashion history in Chicago. The designers share some of their stories and inspirations behind the garments to give you an even more personal connection to their artistry.
