Event Summary

Taste the Runway, Wear the Menu: Where Fashion Meets Flavor!

"Create vs Consume" is a provocative exploration of the intersection between fashion and food. This multi-sensory experience examines the creation, consumption, and the often overlooked artistry behind both industries. As designers, chefs, and artists, our respective fields depend on a meticulous craftsmanship that often goes unnoticed by consumers in a world of rapid disposal. We invite you to confront the unsettling parallels throughout an evening of curated looks and dishes.

This Chicago Fashion Week highlight event is brought to you by the Chicago Fashion Coalition, in collaboration with Congruent Space and Antix Art Festival. Join us for an unforgettable evening that will engage all your senses and redefine your perception of fashion and food.

Event Details

The Chicago Fashion Coalition's "Create vs Consume" activation for Chicago Fashion Week® 2024 is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between fashion and food in our postmodern reality. This multi-sensory experience challenges our perceptions of creation, consumption, and the often-overlooked artistry behind both industries.

Set at Stan Mansion, "Create vs Consume" unveils the hidden labor and artistry of the culinary and fashion realms. This immersive experience invites you to confront the striking parallels through a curated journey that pairs dishes, garments, and reflections from Chicago's most talented artists. We bring the behind-the-scenes process to center stage, with servers doubling as models, presenting fashion looks and gourmet dishes that blur the lines between runway and dining room.

As designers and chefs, we question the value placed on our creations in a world of rapid consumption and disposal. Through this event, we invite patrons to reflect on the unsettling similarities between the fashion and culinary worlds, where meticulous craftsmanship often vanishes in an instant.

The event will showcase cutting-edge fashion trends, styles, and designs, complemented by music, technology, and culinary experiences. Attendees can instantly purchase garments via our e-commerce platform, creating an immersive and interactive fashion experience.
