Chicago is a city known for its emerging artists and designers, and when it comes to the fashion industry, this is no exception. Although there are a whole host of events throughout the city devoted to promoting new and aspiring fashion designers, this weekend there’s one right down the street from SAIC, in Daley Plaza!

July 20 and 21 marks the Chicago Designers Sidewalk Sale, sponsored by Fashion Focus Chicago. This event, in its 4th year, will feature a sale from 9-3 both days with clothing designed by local designers, in addition to a fashion show at noon. With an abundance of clothing, jewelry, and shoes, it’s definitely worth stopping by – and a perfect way to spend a lunch break! Not only that, but you’ll be supporting local designers, which is always a great cause.

Designers featured include: Audey, Zamrie, Erin Gallagher, Objets d’Envy, Heidi Hess, Kate Boggiano, 1154 Lill, The Nature of Things, Lee Allison, Kreative Soul, Afrika Designs, End Wealth Corp, Shrink, Eclectica, House of Sole, Jess LC, Kristin Hassan, Sam & Coop, Anna Hovet, Jermikko, Dollybird Designs, Veronic Riley Martens, and many many more!
