My good friend Jena Gambaccini is the fashion blogger behind ChiCityFashion.com, the social media associate at Shop E-Drop Off, and a Gilt Groupe Brand Ambassador. She also has one of the most insane wardrobes I’ve ever seen. It is no exaggeration to say that she might have one of the largest collections of Proenza Schouler in Chicago, and certainly must be the youngest serious aficionado of the brand in the Windy City. She is nearly always seen carrying the current “it bag,” the Proenza Schouler PS1.
When I had the opportunity to
meet Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCullough at the IFB Evolving Influence conference, I had to tell them about one of their fiercest Chicago fans (besides
Ikram Goldman, of course). So Jena and I thought it would be fun to style and photograph her in three outfits centered around a Proenza Schouler piece. We had a blast with our mini-photoshoot, and I hope you enjoy this editorial-style post as a break from the recent onslaught of New York Fashion Week posts! Below, she is seen carrying a sick
Alexander McQueen glove clutch.

Chicago loves Hermès. I myself am boggled at the large amount of Birkins I’ve been photographing lately near Rush Street.

And on another note, the Chicago-based stylist is a brave woman to wear towering platforms in the ice and snow. The things we do for fashion…
Liz is the proud mother of a hockey player on the Nebraska Storm, as you can see from the team logo on her hat!
