Jenny




Jenny Kendler is an artist, environmentalist and one of my Chicago style icons. I shot Jenny during the last MCA First Fridays while she was sporting her own interpretation of a kimono. Her necklace is an obijime (cord that ties an obi) and her earrings were made of chopsticks!

Learn more about Jenny Kendler on my Bleader post here, on the Newcity Best Of here, and also on her website. Soon she'll be collaborating with Chicago Looks by sharing her sustainable fashion tips, stay tuned!

Alanna Picks #7: Robin






WOW, Lana! You (and Robin) knocked this one out of the park! Here's why Alanna picked this look: "I loved Robin's Marc Jacobs dress and clutch, and that she did bright trainers instead of flats or heels. Also, a big brooch on the dress, plus bracelets and rings, but no earrings or necklace, so it's still balanced".
