Boutique C'est Chic: IKRAM Chicago

Ever wondered whose responsible for the artistic direction of these fabulous windows that sometimes stops us in our tracks as we're in passing? Well, COCA just happened to be in the 'right place at the right time' to meet the man behind those elegant headless mannequins at IKRAM Chicago.

Meet Shane aka 'OMG these displays in the window are fabulous' and today's Boutique C'est Chic inspiration. My experience at IKRAM outside staring at the windows were just as exciting inside - the staff, very welcoming and knowledgeable about everything in the store, especially the Tom Binns jewelry [CFDA Fashion Award Winner 2006 Accessory Designer of the Year] bejeweled around the necks of the mannequins, take a look below.

Thanks to IKRAM Chicago and Shane, COCA really appreciates your time and effort during out visit - We'll keep in touch!

Born 2 Be A Leader ...

UR Chicago Magazine writer, Elizabeth Aguirre took a moment to find out why these "leaders" of the pack continue to stay above the ranks ...

We spent an afternoon at Leaders 1354 in Wicker Park, in Chicago, to find out just what makes this infamous Chicago Boutique tick. Once there we discovered that General Manager Vic Lloyd and the rest of his crew’s unaffected style and all around knowledge of fashion and how it relates to the individual are what makes this boutique and everyone affiliated with it so goddamned popular.
