CFC Elevate V3: Chicago Fashion Social — Industry Mixer

​Chicago Fashion Coalition turns 5.

​Join us for a special anniversary edition of Elevate, our monthly social for everyone who makes Chicago fashion happen.

​This time we’re taking over Expat for a late-night industry mixer built for real conversations, efficient intros, and new collaborations. Come celebrate five years of community, and step into the next season with your network in place.

​What to Expect

​Open networking, no formal programming, just a high-signal room of designers, models, stylists, HMUAs, photographers, videographers, content creators, brands, buyers, and agency folks.

​Show up whenever you want during the event window and move at your own pace. This is where Chicago fashion books Q1 campaigns, locks spring collaborations, and fills production calendars.
