Chicago is known to be a very segregated city - fashion can bring Chicago to a point where we can diversify and embrace all the cultures our city has to offer while creating jobs to keep fashion designers and students employed in Chicago. FashionBar LLC created this podcast to connect with community members in the fashion industry. Tune in every other Tuesday to keep updated on current events in the fashion industry and to listen to exclusive interviews with Chicago fashion consultants, designers, photographers and models.
