PARTY: #ChicagoGetsTagged Benetton Party
VENUE: United Colors of Benetton, The Shops at Northbridge
DATE: Wednesday, October 23
THE LURE: Yay! Hooray! You can now shop Benetton on-line (visit their e-commerce and see G&F’s editor picks here). To kick off the new e-shop, the Italian brand gathered some of their favorite bloggers in Chicago to celebrate. And, big time blush!, we were one of them alongside ChiCityFashion, Trés Awesome and The MidWasteland. To mirror Benetton’s autumn creative campaign, artist James Jankowiak reimagined each blog’s logo, pimping them out in candy colored graffiti and bold stripes. Guests were greeted with the works of art hanging in the store as they arrived. Shopping is an art, afterall.>>
