Thanks to @cschicagosocial for featuring our fashion show in their year-end recap of top events! #DriehausDesignInitiative
Tracey & our lead stylist Nancy are making the rounds to visit our schools, starting with @dominicanu @dominicanufashion. Seniors attended our presentation on our annual fashion show, & we also learned about some of the impressive, new equipment funded by the DDI.
DDI proudly supported Chicago Fashion Week designers including House of Sittar`s Gibeon Tolbert, @gsharp_sittar. Gibeon is a renowned independent designer, a former Driehaus Fashion Awards judge; and he served as a clothier to Richard H. Driehaus.
