doris ruth spring 007 collection

last night, myself and two girlfriends went to the W-city center for the unveiling of spring 007 collection of doris ruth, a vintage-inspired line out of chicago. the upstairs ballroom of the swank hotel was packed with who's who of chicago fashion, along with the small, but growing, group of trendy chicagoans, the after work crowd, and a few of the most random individuals in all of chicago... no seriously, like i think they crashed the party. oh well, the open bar made up for their randomness.

ok, so on to the purpose of the night... the fashion show was interesting. i've seen a few doris ruth pieces at random events, like gen art's shop chicago, but this was my first time actually seeing an entire collection. there were some nice pieces, but nothing that just floored me... actually the piece i liked best was the dress worn by the designer, allie adams (green dress). although i wasn't really a fan of most of the pieces that walked down the runway, i did see a few items in the lookbook worth checking out. oh and there were some cute pieces from the fall collection on sale at the actual event. check them out at www.dorisruth.com... and let me know what you think.
