Chic Chicago: Couture Treasures from the Chicago History Museum
Sep 27th, 2008 to Jul 26th, 2009
As a way to escape the grim ways of being tagged as the 'Hog Butcher for the World', 'Gangland', 'Second City', hordes of women took refuge under bales and reams of couture. An ode to these fashion conscious women and the sophistication that has shone through, Chic Chicago: Couture Treasures from the Chicago History Museum is one such exhibit that focuses on the chic side of Chicago. Watch the exhibition for its glamorous outfits and fabulous gowns as they take center stage and become the cynosure of all eyes to behold.
