For The Sake Of Fashion: A Letter From Alex

I recently chatted with Beauty Look Magazine about my “passion for fashion.” As a freshman accounting major, I started my blog as a creative outlet for myself.  With the positive reaction to my blog, I realized I might be able to merge my love of fashion and a business degree into a career, leading me to switch my major at DePaul University to PR…

The New Cocktail Attire: #FTSOFStyle

Cocktail attire can get very drab, very fast. Dressing up should be fun, out of the ordinary, but often times can put us in a box. The more events I go to, the more I am having to reinvent pieces in new ways to have that wow factor, and recently, that has included playful handbags, bright pumps, and jumpsuits. Jumpsuits are hands down, the…

Honesty

It’s very rare that I address rumors about myself or anything involved with StreetStyleChi, but as I’ve wrapped myself up in working on my annual For The Sake Of Fashion show, my life has been consumed by the chatter surrounding fashion, casting calls, and designers. What I did not expect, was to be dodging rumors about myself left and right. To put it quite…

Style Spotlight: Marc

Marc has been one of my long time friends at DePaul, and this is not his first appearance on StreetStyleChi. Luckily, when we met up and braved the cold to shop in Wicker Park, I had my camera with me. Marc’s classic style with an urban edge gets me every time. The classic pea coat layered with a heavy sweater is a nice alternative…

Style Spotlight

December 2013 My good friend Georgia has some of the best style I know. I mean…who else can make a fur coat look effortless? Exactly. G ran around with me to pull looks for her up and coming web series, The Front Row, and I had to grab some shots. Lately I’ve gone back to toting my camera around in my bag and will…

DePaul’s 22 Under 22: Casey Clemmons

July 15th 2013 This past June, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Casey Clemmons, former Vice President of Student Government. When Casey and I last chatted, he was running for President of SGA. Not surprisingly, he won. Casey is one of the nicest guys around, has made many strides improving our school, and not to mention, looks great in a button up….

Marc and I met at our Sake of Fashion show back in March, and I immediately noticed his outfit. Katz describes his style as urban street style, but he likes to keep it semi formal looking….
