This evening, I stepped into a world where sustainability met high fashion at Chicago Vintage Festival a Hispanic women-owned marketplace dedicated to reducing textile waste. The event spotlighted Vintage Thrills, our featured boutique for the Spring 2025 issue, with a Sex and the City-themed runway show that was nothing short of fabulous.
Despite a fashionably late start, the runway looks were worth every minute of anticipation. One standout moment? Model @jennyhuey_ serving ultimate Samantha Jones energy in an all-pink ensemble, cinched with a gold chain belt and paired with gold strappy sandals—an effortless blend of vintage and modern edge.
Beyond the show, the marketplace buzzed with resellers showcasing some truly covetable vintage finds. The night hit all the right notes with a performance by Dear Jamie, Chicago’s Pinkest Popstar, adding a dreamy, nostalgic vibe. And let’s not forget the indulgences—sweet treats from Sugar Bliss Cakes and refreshing mocktails courtesy of Naps Chicago kept the crowd fueled for a night of fashion-forward fun.
A perfect way to kick off a stylish evening in the city—Chicago’s sustainable fashion scene is thriving, and this event was proof.
