PARTY: Madewell Chicago Opening
VENUE: Madewell, 932 Rush St.
DATE: Tuesday, April 2nd
THE LURE: While we were used to entering 932 Rush Street to grab a Starbucks soy latte or a black iced tea, unsweetened, with extra ice—what waited us on the other side of the door this time was quite the treat. Chicago, meet Madewell. The tried and true brand that is bright, cheery and, simply put, made well. Chicago tastemakers got a first glimpse at the white washed store—the paper covering the windows was still taped up!—and their simple, chic and colorful Summer collection. A performance by band ON AN ON capped the youthful evening with a toe-tapping guest list that was begging not to leave. >>
