Illinois Humanities and the South Side Home Movie Project present Chicago Style, a multidimensional exploration of Black fashion on Chicago’s South Side from the 1930s through the 80s, culminating in a fashion show and the debut of a film curated and scored by Ayana Contreras. By intertwining history, community, and creativity, Chicago Style fosters intergenerational dialogue, community cohesion, and cultural identity through the powerful language of fashion.

Enjoy a fashion-filled afternoon where history collides with the present. Dress up, see the looks, explore clothing from a local vendor, enjoy refreshments, and experience stories of Chicago’s style.
