Glamorama – We're not Making this up… Promise

Glamorama is a fashion event being held in Chicago August 22nd and this will surely make Tenisha Anderson (our managing editor) run for cover. Yes Tenisha you can claim this as your event and I’m hoping to see tons of pictures it. Apparently, Macy*s is holding this huge event where fall designs from several major designers names (both American and International) will be on display. The theme this year for the Glamorama event this year is Pop Candy Arcade, yes the 80s are back and everyone here couldn’t be happier. The Glamorama event (which, incidentally rhymes with Bananarama) will host Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Celine, CNC Costume National, Just Cavalli, Ports 1961, SportMax and Tibi.

Ok, you’re saying, that sounds pretty good. But, wait! There’s more…(if you feel like you’re in one of those blue screen commercials, it’s completely intentional) if you act now and get your tickets you will get to see MC Hammer and Cyndi Lauper perform. We’re guessing someone over in event planning at Macy*s is either going to get fired or a big promotion. This can go either way. The vibe behind the event is decidedly 80s so general thinking is that this is going to do very well. We love the 80s.

If they’re looking for a recommendation on an alternate for the 80s fetival, I’d go with Aha, the aforementioned Bananarama or the Bangles. The event is a fundraiser for the Art Institute of Chicago and has been going on 10 years.
