Chic Chicago

Hate Mondays? The Chicago History Museum wants to change that. They offer free admissions on Mondays, and with an exhibition dedicated to extraordinary garments, who could hate that? Chic Chicago (now through July 26, 2009) highlights styles worn from 1861 to 2004 and includes some of the most well known couturiers in the world.

FashioNext is a competition featuring established Chicago fashion designers. The designers were inspired by the pieces in the exhibition and the winning garment will become part of the museum's permanent costume collection. Follow the competition here.
