FGI Chicago announces the launch of its first-ever Blue Jacket Fashion Show Brunch. It will take place on Saturday, February 22, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The event will be held at Guild Row in Chicago’s Avondale neighborhood.
The renowned New York Fashion Week (NYFW) Blue Jacket Fashion Show inspired this initiative. Fashion designer Frederick Anderson founded it in 2016. He created a platform to openly discuss men’s health issues. The emphasis is on cancer education, early detection, prevention, and treatment options. The NYFW event unites celebrities and media to promote prostate cancer awareness on a national scale. FGI Chicago’s brunch aims to bring this important cause to the local community. It also showcases the talents of Chicago’s retailers, designers, and creatives.

Attendees can expect to see a Runway-Style Presentation. A showcase of blue jackets designed or loaned by talented Chicago designers and retailers.
Guests will enjoy a look at memorable moments from NYFW’s Fashion Show. They will also join in a silent auction. Attendees can indulge in a delicious self-serve brunch. Perfect for networking and mingling with Chicago creatives.
All proceeds aid the ZERO Prostate Cancer, a leading nonprofit dedicated to research, early detection, and patient care. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among males, impacting 1 in 8 over their lifetimes. The risk increases with age. The Black male community faces even greater risks. They have a 70% higher likelihood of developing the disease. Their mortality rate is more than double. By participating in this event, attendees support ZERO Prostate Cancer’s vital mission. All proceeds from the silent auction will go to the nonprofit. This will happen through FGI Foundation. The funds will help support critical research, early detection programs, and patient care.

Tickets are available starting at $115, with discounted rates of $90 for FGI members. VIP tickets ($200) include premium seating, VIP gift bags, and priority brunch access.
