Illinois Humanities and the South Side Home Movie Project present Chicago Style, a multidimensional exploration of Black fashion on Chicago’s South Side from the 1930s through the 80s, culminating in a fashion show and the debut of a film curated and scored by Ayana Contreras. By intertwining history, community, and creativity, Chicago Style fosters intergenerational dialogue, community cohesion, and cultural identity through the powerful language of fashion.
Join us for a fashion-filled afternoon where history collides with the present. Dress up, see the looks, explore clothing from a local vendor, enjoy refreshments, and experience stories of Chicago's style.
