CSO x CFC: Perception Fashion Show was a groundbreaking event held in January 2024 at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. This sold-out event featured seven local designers who showcased a variety of design languages, including avant-garde, crocheted, couture, streetwear, and sculptural art. The show merged classical music with fashion, attracting over 300 attendees and garnering more than 2 million views on social media. It received extensive media coverage from ABC 7 News, Hype Bae, and The Triibe Chicago. The primary goal was to create a unique, immersive experience that highlighted the intersection of music and fashion while promoting local talent. A documentary-styled short film about the show is currently in production.
