OUR COLLABORATION WITH CHICAGO MAGAZINE! MEN’S FASHION.

Written By Patric Chauvez Editor-In-Chief

Welcome to the summer of 26! We had the pleasure of collaborating with Chicago magazine for the Men's Spring/Summer fashion Editorial. The actor Liam Oh was the subject chosen to wear the best offerings for the season. Liam plays Ray McCaffey on the Netflix series Boots. This story was shot in the middle of winter, which is always a challenge to have things shipped in. We were fortunate to be able to work with some of the best fashion houses, with edits from Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, Hermes, and Dior, along with a few pulls from Neiman Marcus. The story was photographed at the Museum of Surgical Science, housed in a historic mansion on Lakeshore Drive. The story was about the “Preppy” trend that permeated the spring/summer collections. Dior’s Collection by Jonathan Anderson was the blueprint for the story. Preppy but not the typical American way, I wanted to elevate it editorially. Working with the press offices can be difficult sometimes, but we managed to fanangle a few looks for the story.
