PARTY: Mario, Make Me A Model Designer Launch Event
VENUE: Presidio, 1749 N Damen
DATE: Wednesday, July 19th
THE LURE: We packed Presidio with a stylish crowd eager to catch a glimpse of the five designers that will be showing at Mario Tricoci’s Mario, Make Me A Model finale event at the end of September. G&F shot the lot for our annual Local Designer Feature, sharing the Windy City style set’s inspiration and our favorite pieces to wear right now. Guests of the launch event mingled with the five, bright-eyed model finalists who donned fashions from the designer’s Fall collections. Mario Tricoci nail technicians painted Fall-inspired colors for eager attendees while a looped video of a sneak peek at the feature shared a taste of G&F’s Fall issue. While the Presidio signature cocktail was extremely delicious (a chili-infused Pisco punch), the gift bag for the evening proved to be the crowd favorite—over 150 bags were stuffed with haircare goodies from Mario Tricoci. >>
