Reconnecting the Game

It was one of those spicy Chicago afternoons, the kind where the sun doesn’t let up. Out on a South Side golf course, two models moved across the greens in Tytus By.TYTUS. I was there on set, watching him command the scene with ease, even as the heat pressed in. There was something poetic about it: couture born from thrifted textiles, standing tall against manicured fairways. Luxury against grit, polish against raw energy—felt like the perfect backdrop for By Tytus. His mantra, “Ain’t Nun Like Tytus, Except TYTUS,” rang true in every detail; these weren’t just clothes, they were statements.

But what makes Tytus stand out isn’t only the clothes. His work defies gender norms, dismantles fashion’s rigid boundaries, and redefines what sustainability can look like when filtered through a sharp point of view. With Fashion Week approaching, he’s not just bringing new looks. He’s bringing momentum! From pop-ups to styling projects to his upcoming Fye Star Productions, Tytus is pushing Chicago fashion to claim its rightful place on the global stage. What he’s building is bigger than a collection; it’s a movement rooted in community, culture, and the belief that Chicago deserves to be seen.
