      Evil Kitty's is the BEST! Lydia is one of Chicago's most talented designers... and a friend of mine. Evil Kitty ROCKS!

      Really?Is this what's going to represent the Chicago Fashion Scene?The only one I see really having a vision is Agga Raya.I really feel if Chicago wants to raise to the level of NY Fashion,we need to be more particular in who we choose to represent us.We need to go to the schools!There are so many young talented designers who we disregard because they're students,and b/c of it,they leave to NY/LA. Just b/c these people fit the Macy Incubator application guidelines, doesn't mean they're any good.

      Agga Raya's is by far the best. It's execuited the best, looks cool and fashiony, and really reflects the architecture.

      Love this concept. Very flattering with the flaps representing the tiers of the Hancock Center.

      Does not remind me of Mirina Towers at all. Material does not work and looks cheap. No imagination shown here.

      Very cute and flirty for the younger set. Excellent use of pins emulating the windows on the Library, but chiffon sleeves does not bring to mind the gargoyles on top, but nice touch.

      Very nice design but would not know that it was representative of Wrigley Field at all.
