Image my surprise when I stopped Lisa on the street to photograph her incredible vest, to discover  not only that she made it herself, she owns her own Minneapolis-based fashion design studio!

 

Hackwith Design House creates limited-edition pieces that are carried in boutiques across the country. Since she traveled here from the Twin Cities on business, hopefully we’ll be seeing her pieces more often here in Chicago.

 

It was so lovely meeting you Lisa, and thank you again for letting me photograph you!
