Throwback Thursday: Prabal Gurung

This year, I’ve introduced two new categories to ChiCityFashion (What Why Where and Chi City’s Most Stylish) and because we’re well more than half way through 2013, I thought another new topic was in order. Nothing feels better than reminiscing and feeling a bit nostalgic, right? I’ll leave it to Buzzfeed to give me lists of things I miss about the 90s so I’m going to do something a little different. Today will be my first installment of a new feature — Throwback Thursday (not to be confused with #tbt on Instagram). I’m going to start with past collections from designers and who knows what will stem from that. And because I thought my first TBT would be way too predictable if I chose Proenza, today is all about Prabal Gurung.

The New Balenciaga Bags

While reading the most recent issue of Harper’s Bazaar during one of two times I read magazines (getting a pedicure and traveling…I’m still in Chicago so you can make an educated guess which one I was doing), a bag caught my eye in one of their editorials, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So what do I do when I can’t stop thinking about something? Talk about it on CCF, of course.

Proenza In Space

As I’ve mentioned before (but probably not often enough), I’ve always had a thing for space. I can’t tell you how it started (although me discovering claustrophobia is what ended it) but when it comes to stars, planets and whatever else is up there, I’m into it.

So I happen to discover Proenza Schouler’s Fall 2013 ad campaign video yesterday and it seems as if Jack and Lazaro have also taken a liking to space. That, and a white cockatoo.
