That is something Chicago Fashion Week is wanting to change.

Presently in its 6th season, the occasion highlights runway shows featuring everything from urban wear to children garments and marriage clothing. It’s everything happening this week at Water Tower Place downtown.

The objective, says Tony Long, one of the event’s organizers, is “to help stabilize the Chicago fashion industry and bring fashion designers from Chicago national … we’ve got some Chicago-based designers and we’ve also got designers from all over the world.”

One of Chicago Fashion Week’s greatest shows is its cutting edge rivalry, where plans extend from the bold to the test. In the show, architects “use the city’s landscape and rich history as inspiration,” Long says. “Chicago’s got a unique environment because it celebrates inclusive diversity and culture.”

That incorporates the types of designs as well as the individuals who wear them. On Thursday, Chicago Fashion Week will have a “Trans, Media and Fashion” appear, highlighting transgender and sexual orientation nonconforming models.

“We’re really hoping that this helps create education, knowledge and acceptability around our transgender and gender-nonconforming [communities],” Long says. “Fashion does not discriminate.”

On Sunday, Chicago Fashion Week will likewise have its first since forever “Modest Wear” appear, highlighting structures “celebrating the Muslim community and celebrating the modest fashion that that community offers,” Long said.

“Just like we have ready-to-wear and modern wear, we also have individuals that want to be modest when it comes to fashion,” he said.

At last, Long expectations Chicago Fashion Week will help develop and continue whole exchanges the city, from design to modeling to assembling.

“People here in Chicago, they’re gradually coming on to the idea that Chicago can be a fashion destination,” Long says. “We’re looking to get more awareness because this could technically create an influx of a manufacturing industry here in Chicago that could create job creation.”
