ChicagoFashionPass.com Making the Week of Fashion Available to More People Throughout Chicagoland


CHICAGO, Oct. 11, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fashion Focus Chicago 2012 returns October 15-21 for the eighth year. The week-long celebration showcases the thriving fashion industry from some of Chicago's top designers, features runway shows in Millennium Park and fashion events at various locations around the city. In the past attendees would have to be financially selective when choosing which feature events to attend in addition to Fashion Focus' premier events. This year, top Chicago event coordinators have teamed up to offer tickets to three featured events for $100 total. Shari Duffy's Night At The Museum, Laura Elvis' Fashion Follows Interiors - A Mad Men Event, and Michelle Gomez's via del corso – Masquerade Affair are cross promoting their events to allow more people the opportunity to celebrate the Windy City's booming fashion hub.

The three celebrated featured event promoters devised a solid solution - each event has their own flare and you can expect each night to be completely different. From producers to charity benefactors to fashion lineup and entertainment, no two events are the same. Why spend $50-$200 to go to ONE featured event when you can go to THREE for $100?

"Often times event promoters compete against each other for attendees. This only raises the cost and limits the exposure of charity benefactors and sponsors. This is the first time three featured events have teamed up to not only offer savings, but to focus on the spirit of Fashion Focus Week - the fashion and the industry. I am honored to be part of all three," commented Chris Foltz, whose firm Christopher Foltz & Company worked to unify the competing events.

Butterflies, ladybugs, and bees! A night to celebrate fashion, nature, and all things amazing! Monday night's featured event, Night At The Museum, hosted by Chicago's favorite mom Shea Vaughn,will be held at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. General Admission Ticket includes: cocktails, appetizers, desserts, fashion show, and all access to the Nature Museum.
