<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><b><u>Olivia Hwang<br />
</u></b>Olivia Hwang’s interest in bridal design started when she was
a child looking at fine lace and delicate lingerie wear at her father’s
lingerie shop in Seoul, Korea. Hwang studied fashion design and construction
and graduated with honors from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
She worked as a bridal gown designer in New York and New Jersey, but has
returned to Chicago to start her own bridal line. She describes the collection
as timeless couture gowns that combine tradition with current fashions
utilizing silks, French lace, and embroidery of the highest quality. Hwang’s
collection is conservative and classic yet, unique in that customers have
flexibility in the styling of their own bridal looks to reveal and enhance
beauty and personality. Hwang does not have a website at this time. </span>

Technology. She launched her bridal line, Elaya Vaughn Bridal in November
of 2011. Pankoke then went on to become a contestant on the current season
of Project Runway (Season 11). Pankoke’s passion for bridal stems from
a love of all things glamorous. She describes her design aesthetic as artful
femininity. A dream element of whimsy is apparent in her designs, from
lighter than air tiers of Silk organza to crystal encrusted bodices. </span><a href="http://www.elayavaughn.com/Elaya_Vaughn_Home.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><u>http://www.elayavaughn.com/<wbr></wbr>Elaya_Vaughn_Home.html</u></span></a>

things in life with the intent to bring awareness and better humanity.
Steiner’s vision for transforming the traditional role of a designer,
by combining activism for change, is seen each season through authentic
print designs and signature styling that includes heavy layering and mixed
media. Whether the inspiration is derived from a controversial subject
matter or simply something beautiful that people need to pay more attention
to, she aims to bring awareness through fashion. </span><a href="http://shelbysteiner.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><u>http://shelbysteiner.com/</u></span></a>

Having a great respect for craftsmanship of design has always been an integral
part of her life and work. Yamanaka does not have a website at this time. </span>

<br />
Today is the Day! This evening from 5:00-7:00pm, the Chicago Fashion Incubator will be hosting an Open House for designers interested in our 2013/2014 Designers in Residence Program! The 2013/2014 Application will also become available on our website (<a href="http://www.chicagofashionincubator.org/">www.chicagofashionincubator.org)!</a><br />
<br />
If you are interested in attending our open house tonight, here are directions on how to get to us once inside Macy's on State:<br />
<br />
<span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We are located at Macy's on State Street, on the 11th floor.<br />
Enter through the State and Randolph St. entrances. When you enter Macy's you will be in women's handbags.<br />
Walk South past the COACH counter and then past the TOUS counter.<br /><br />In between the TOUS and LINKS OF LONDON counters is the hallway to the associate elevators.<br />
The elevators are green carpeted with linoleum flooring.<br />Take these elevators to the 11th floor.<br />
If
you have entered into cream marble elevators, those only head to 7 and
you went into the hallway between COACH and TOUS rather than TOUS and
LINKS.<br />
Exit those elevators at 1, walk a little further South to go to the elevator hallway located between TOUS and LINKS.</span></span><br />
<span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Upon arriving at the 11th floor lobby, there will be an Incubator Employee to greet you and direct you to our location.</span></span><br />
<span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Please feel free to call with any questions you may have: 312-781-5039. We look forward to seeing you tonight!</span></span>CFIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03320505290614375644noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4409287655171190987.post-30775776921738809102012-08-28T16:02:00.001-05:002012-08-28T16:02:21.089-05:00 Take a look at CFI alumni Nora Del Busto's<a href="http://vimeo.com/47838515"> F/W 2012 collection</a> shot by Billy Rood!CFIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02091710387265536693noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4409287655171190987.post-92154918825770770052012-08-28T15:56:00.001-05:002012-08-28T15:56:15.501-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Maria Pinto, renown fashion designer, who has designed clothes for Oprah, and the current first lady, and the Joffrey Ballet, visited the Chicago Fashion Incubator on Wednesday July 25th to meet with the Designers in Residence! She spent two hours at the Incubator, talking to the designers about her experience in the industry and dispensing advice. "Do what you love, money will come" advised Pinto. She talked about perfection of production and her "less is more" strategy of "staying small and well edited." The designers also got to hear about her upcoming <a href="http://fieldmuseum.org/about/fashion-and-field-museum-collection-maria-pinto">exhibit</a> at the Field Museum. Lastly, she took a look at each designer's collection and advised. It was time well spent and advice well received.
