The Fashion Studies Department of Columbia College Chicago has moved fully into 618 S. Michigan Ave. And not surprisingly that means that the storefront windows of that building are consistently filled with a revolving collection of awfully brilliant student fashion work. Sometimes the work there is so far along the fine art spectrum that I just want to stare it as art, but often the work makes me covetous. I want to buy it and wear it and make it my own.
But the windows are spectacular. Walking to meetings or to go get coffee in the morning, it's fun to watch passersby drawn in to get a closer look. It's a wide sidewalk there and it's not hard to notice the beelining to the collections on display.
Most recently, there was a collection of historical designs made entirely out of paper.
