Why Not Petites: "Roaring Runway, a Gilded Age Affair"

  • Chicago, IL, 60608 United States (map)

About the Event:

Why not Petites will be bringing their Great Gatsby themed show to Chicago Fashion Week and we’ll be dusting off our best flapper dresses to join in the fun!

About Why not Petites:

The fashion industry is notorious for excluding "others" in every form of the word. Today, the standards have begun to change.
