It's a lovely event held each year at the historic home designed by HH Richardson in the Prairie District of Chicago. During the Arts & Crafts sale, I will be selling vintage-inspired millinery! Come and join us!

celebrating millinery

tgm will be exhibiting at Hats 2008 at TLD Design Center in Westmont, IL 13 Oct- 30 Nov 2008. Each year, TLD, in collaboration with Dupage Textile Arts Guild, celebrates millinery through fashion shows, an exhibition and workshops. TLD offers fantastic coursework throughout the year. We respect their collegial nature and the quality of their programming. Check it out!

safety first

on a big news night, we did receive press for the guerilla runway show at O'Hare on Friday AM to kick off Chicago Fashion Week! our safety (aka international) orange sculptural piece is the first look. we collaborated with Cindy Schilder on our look. Cindy made a fantastic leather vest with removable quilted collar.

why i love chicago

and mayor daley's fashion council: guerrilla marketing. a team of chicago-based designers is set to visually assault travelers flying through o'hare on 26 september to set the stage for chicago fashion week. cindy schilder designs and tonya gross millinery are collaborating on a look for our elite model. the photo is of tgm's head piece (fresh off the block): safety, i mean, international orange orchid called "beacon." more pics to follow...
