Remember that trivia thing I wouldn’t stop talking about? Well it happened last night…and if you weren’t there, you missed out on a really fantastic game of trivia (FOMO kicking in yet?) and if you were there, you helped raise over $2,100 for Lurie Children’s Hospital soooo that’s pretty awesome.
Anyway, I wanted to try something a little different today. This isn’t a typical event recap. This will decrease your FOMO because you can now [kind of] participate in Trivia at the Dec, or today we’re calling it Chi City Trivia.
Last night we had 3 categories (fashion, food and Chicago…my favorite topics) with 10 questions each. I wanted to pick my favorite questions from each category as well as give you the 5 questions that were never even asked — the tie breakers (we had a clear winner which I’ll announce at the end so no tie breaker was necessary at the event).
If you want to give your brain some exercise this morning (beats going to the gym), here you go…
(ps. the bold questions are ones that weren’t asked last night…so you’re the first to see them!)
CATEGORY: FASHION
1. Who won womenswear designer of the year at the 2013 CFDA Awards?
2. What designer created the 31 minute bag?
3. Which fashion house was Lindsay Lohan [quite unfortunately] appointed artistic director of in 2009?
4. Who was the first high end designer to collaborate with H&M?
5. Shane Gabier and Christopher Peters are the designers behind what brand?

2. What is the term for a single, bite-sized hors d’oeuvre that you might receive at a restaurant on the house?
