Akira Fall Fashion Show Hall of Mirrors 2011

Chicago fashion house AKIRA partnered with cancer
charity Imerman Angels to host its biggest runway show to
date. Grossinger City Autoplex, a state-of-the-art
400,000-square-foot space in Lincoln Park, served as an
industrial-chic backdrop for AKIRA’s newest crop of
metallic minidresses, shiny blazers, and textured blouses.
The gritty glam of the garage-turned-catwalk reached its
apex with luxurious add-ons such as pop-up shops, live
entertainment, and hors d’oeuvre from the city’s hottest
eateries. Guests extended their night of unconventional
opulence by migrating to Japonais after the show for an
exclusive afterparty sponsored by PF Flyers.

The clothing & footwear presented include: Wolverine,
William Rast, PF Flyers, Original Penguin, AKIRA Black
Label, Ben Sherman, Michael Antonio, ZiGi NY, and Jeffrey
Campbell.

Guests enjoyed tasty bites and cocktails from N9NE
Steakhouse, Prasino, Epic, Burger Bar, Barn & Company,
Moe’s Cantina, Dos Diablos, 4Rebels, Market, Cabot
Creamery, LUNA, Goose Island, Vitaminwater, Fuze,
popchips, and Pirate’s Booty.

Proceeds from Hall of Mirrors will benefit Imerman Angels,
a not-for-profit organization that provides 1-on-1 cancer
support by connecting cancer fighters, survivors, and
caregivers all across the country.
