These images are part of the Chicago Looks photo exhibit, which will be at Heaven Gallery until March 7th . So if you couldn't/can't make it, you can have a little taste. A few shots of the opening can be seen here and here. The pictures were glued as posters on 8x4 and 4x4 ft plywood boards with interventions by Brett Manning and Nick Marzullo from Pawn Works Sticker Club.

Emma Arnold was born and raised in South Bend, Indiana, and came to Chicago ten years ago to attend the Art Institute’s Design Program. She currently works as an art director at the ad agency Leo Burnett.
She has long been interested in fashion and photography and shooting stylish people was a way for her to get comfortable with humans as a subject, “as opposed to some great looking wall with peeling paint on it.” She launched Trés Awesome in February 2011, but actually started covering street style in June 2010 with The Clothes You Wear.
She's a contributor to the ELLE.com street style section.
