Gracias! CSS and Fashion Show 2008!

Thank you to ALL who stopped by at the Chicago Sidewalk Sale & Fashion Show this week! We had the most unbelievable weather... gorgeous Elite models wearing our hats...great "neighbors Heidi Hess and Erin Gallagher...a and a well-orchestrated event hosted by the Department of Cultural Affairs. Kudos to Melissa Gamble, Taylor Wilson and the Mayor's Fashion Council! We were overwhelmed by the number of hat lovers out there! Thank you for the encouragement!

Raymond Hudd Millinery Award!

I am THRILLED to announce that I won a Raymond Hudd Millinery Award from the Fashion Department at the School of the Art Institute for my collection this spring semester!

Raymond Hudd's millinery career spanned over 50 years and is one of the last of his generation of great milliners. Whimsical, humorous and beautifully crafted hats are his signature, shown left. This is truly an honor...and an inspiration. YAY, pinch me!
