Ikram Goldman Recognized with Legend of Fashion Award
By Amy Creyer
On May 5th Ikram Goldman, the single most important figure in the Chicago fashion scene, will be awarded the prestigious Legend of Fashion award by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). The honor is in recognition of her achievements in the realm of fashion as the owner of her eponymous boutique Ikram. Particularly supportive of young talent like Proenza Schouler, Rodarte, and Thakoon, Ikram’s roster of designers is a veritable “who’s who” of international fashion…
I went to Rothbury both years, in 2008 and 2009, and I can definitely say that this is the greatest music festival on the circuit. Unlike festivals in hot areas, say Tennessee or California, Northern Michigan pleasantly cools down at night – perfect for dancing until 4 a.m. in the morning.
Hope to see many of you Chicagoans make the trek into the woods!

And the cops who patrol the festival are super cool, as you can see below. Special thank you to the Michigan State Troopers who did a fantastic job the past two years keeping the public safe and ensuring a good time was had for all! The police and the festivalgoers have a healthy respect for each other, which is critical in making the event a success. At night, they stick glowsticks out of the top of their hats to make themselves easier to spot in case anyone needs help. They are really just there to make sure everyone is safe. The woods make this music festival truly magical, and even the cops send out positive vibes!
