Chicago Fashion Connect mixers are the perfect time to mingle with key players in the fashion industry. I love the energy in the room with so many designers, models, makeup artists, bloggers, and more chatting and laughing and discussing the business. This time, we converged on Supreme Novelty Fabrics–which proved to be a colorful, unique and inspirational backdrop for the event. It made me wish I could sew!!!

And here’s some shots of the fabulous people I connected with! I always LOVE running into Cha’rron of CChicChicago.com!

How adorable is Omar of GOCA Designs? He’s getting to know a stylist here from Australia and David, a talented student who is interning with Plus Fashion Week. 🙂 FUN!

So cute!!!

Marco Foster from Chicago Models was our official host for the evening’s open model call. So many beautiful guests walked the runway in order to get exposure for their careers and try out for Chicago-area fashion shows.

It was a nice night with a unique twist. I had to leave a little early, but I had some interesting conversations and met a ton of new people in the industry! If you haven’t attended one of these events, put it on your calendar!
