Dear Friends,
Fall has arrived and the words that come to mind are cozy, layers, plaids, soft fabrics-it is after all, the best season of clothing!
Clothes have a way of connecting us to memories and stories. I’ve always believed in the power of connection—and the way stories can bring us together. At cloth + home, those stories are at the heart of everything we do. They’re the stories of the designers we support and the community we’ve built.
As a featured event of The Chicago Fashion Week, cloth + home invites you to Threaded Stories—a runway show of distinctive fashion. Taking place in the beautiful ballroom of The Woman’s Club of Evanston on Sunday October 12 it will be an afternoon filled with fashion, connection, and the inspiring stories our designers have woven into their creations. Threaded Stories builds on cloth + home’s mission to support independent designers, offering a space where creativity, community, and storytelling come together.
Last year’s show sold out—and this year promises to be even more exciting with twelve incredible designers—five returning and seven additional designers will make this a show you do not want to miss.
Hope to see you at the show! xo
