The Curio Co-hosts Driehaus Fashion Awards 2024

The Curio co-hosted the return of the iconic Driehaus Fashion Awards in conjunction with the Driehaus Design Initiative which were produced by Zzazz Productions. It was an incredible return after a five year absence for the longest running independent fashion show in Chicago showcasing the best fashion student designers from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Columbia College Chicago & Dominican University. The fashionable evening, co-hosted by Sylvia Perez (Fox-32 News anchor) & Linda Yu (former news anchor).

The winners were Jules Gourley (first place, $10K), Brianna Yanga (second place, $7K) and Alexandra Seward (third place, $4K). Yanga also won the Neiman Marcus Award so her collection will be featured at Neiman Marcus Michigan Avenue. The Judges were designers Mark Roscoe & Peach Carr and Wendy Krimins (VP, Neiman Marcus Group Chicago). It was an incredible night for the future generation of fashion design leaders!
