THE CURIO IN THE NEWS

Chicago Fashion Week, was co-founded by two of The Curio’s principals, Ian Gerard & Maggie Gillette, along with John Leydon. Ian & Maggie stepped down from CFW leadership in mid-July to focus on The Curio’s programming for the week which included The Curio’s “A Celebration of Chicago Style” presented by Abercrombie & Kent which was the Opening Night of Chicago Fashion Week drawing a capacity crowd of 500 at the landmark Chicago Cultural Center.
