When Flora and Fashion Come Together
Chicago's own emerging talent from The Illinois Institute of Art - Chicago and the International Academy of Design and Technology, as well as renowned designers located along North Michigan Avenue, have created fashion dressing forms using recycled material. Each dressing form is planted within a garden bed and sponsored by an organization or business in The Magnificent Mile District.
Check out the finished fashion dressing forms below!
Don't miss the opportunity to have your very own dress for your garden! Visit the ComEd Gardens of The Magnificent Mile eBay Store to bid on your favorite student or master-designed dress form. Click here to be re-directed to our eBay store.
