We are now accepting volunteer applications for October 2025.

FashionBar created The Shows to enhance Chicago’s fashion economy, merchandising, and modeling by collaborating across the fashion industry to popularize, promote, and celebrate Chicago’s vibrant creative and artistic fashion culture.

FashionBar and our business partners aim to transform Chicago into the Midwest’s fashion capital by fostering both emerging and established talent, bridging the fashion communities of Los Angeles and New York City.

The Shows are scheduled from Thursday, October 2, 2025 to Sunday, October 5, 2025, with the Designer Reveal taking place on Saturday, September 27, 2025.
