Je vous présent the Spring issue of Chicago Fashion.
Pages 28/29: Interview with designer Soo Choi about her closet. If one must tell the story of a person through their stuff, having a subject as forthcoming and réfléchi as Soo is what you long for.
Pages 14/15: Short items on jewelry designer Temple St. Claire, perilously high heels, and the similarities between today’s runway and the styles of the 1930s.
Pages 30/31: Interview with the fabulous Graham Thompson of Optimo Hats (who recently designed the hats for Public Enemies). I had so much fun poking around his shop and seeing the weighty and timeworn hat-making machinery.
Pages 34/35: I asked five local designers to imagine looks for Michelle Obama.
It's not my turn but SOMEBODY should comment that it looks fantastic! The layout seems even more slick and professional than past outings -- thereby transcending impossibility.
My monitor has excellent resolution yet the fine print has proven illegible. Zooming each page to play hide-and-seek by scrolling for text has proven unbearable, like pan-and-scan treatment of a film that demands letterboxing (no slight to Ken Burns intended).
My internet connection is excellent yet attempts at downloading a PDF version have invariably stalled at an unfortunately lurid percentage (just shy of seventy).
I can't read it on the screen. I can't download it to print. Thus far, I have only looked at the pictures when -- sincerely! -- I would rather have read the articles (snicker not at this "Playboy" cliché).
Production values have attained celestial heights but the new technology is failing you.

Thank you for your comment! We agree that the zooming is cumbersome. We're working with a different company next season.

I really enjoyed this issue. As a Los Angeles fashion photographer who has found himself in Chicago, it's a breath of fresh air. Now I'm looking to get more involved in the Chicago scene.
