About CFC:

The Chicago Fashion Coalition (CFC) is an alliance of fashion connoisseurs, business strategists, and industry experts committed to showcasing and elevating Chicago's dynamic fashion landscape. The CFC aims to establish Chicago as a nationally and internationally recognized fashion hub. As the only organization in Chicago affiliated with the CFDA and boasting the sole Chicago Fashion Directory, the CFC plays a pivotal role in bolstering the city's fashion industry.

The annual 'Chicago Does the Met' gala, a flagship event of the CFC, mirrors the esteemed Met Gala. Now in its third year, the theme "The Garden of Time" reflects the evolution of human history and the ongoing cycle of creation and destruction. It pays tribute to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion, symbolizing garment materials within three zones: land, sea, and sky.

The gala is a platform for both emerging and established local designers while raising funds for fashion education programs. As a top-tier event, it attracts influencers, industry professionals, and fashion enthusiasts, uniting Chicago's creative community for a night of style, art, and philanthropy.

VIP PERKS:

For Chicago Does the Met, In The Realm Of Senses will provide an immersive musical journey from Bach to the Beatles, with visual projections and unique scents paired with the performances. They will also create custom-scented candles for the event which will go inside of a “Goodie Bag.”
