Similar to how Stefani Germanotta is the person behind “Lady Gaga,” Matt Kasin is the human behind “The Gaudy God.” Chicago is lucky to have its own icon of fashionable excess. The Gaudy God explores the fine line between celebrity and illusion; fantasy and reality; classiness and trashiness.
You can buy into the debaucherous glam of The Gaudy God lifestyle by purchasing one of his iconic tank tops, a carefully edited piece in his collection of vintage clothing, or getting a manicure from him at Strange Beauty located at 1118 North Ashland. Call 773-252-9522 to schedule an appointment.
Jill Engelmann is a stylist based in Chicago. She offers a variety of fashion services including personal shopping and wardrobe evaluation. Her mindbendingly cool zigzag-patterned coat is certainly a head turner. Boldly patterned outwear provides an excellent way to stay fashionable as winter sets in.
