Fashion baddies, we’ve got a gift for you! 

Check out our 2026 postcards for Chicago Fashion Showcase! We’ll be putting these around the city, but the question is; where?

We want your input, tag a coffee shop, fitness club, any place you go that you’d want to pick up one of these. 

Should we release some more styles? 😏 

Models, would you want to see yourself on a postcard?

Who would you send this to? Tag a fashion baddie in the comments ⤵️

Did we mention these are completely ✨free✨ and usable? So you can send these to anyone. All you need is a postage stamp.

10 years ago, Wendy, founder of Minted Media Productions took a leap of faith and hosted her very first solo fashion show right here at State & Erie in downtown Chicago. 

What started as a dream and a handful of creatives has grown into a powerful platform for designers, models, and artists seeking space to be seen and celebrated.

Today, the @chicagofashionshowcase continues its mission by uplifting the city’s fashion community and creating opportunities for emerging talent.
As we gear up for our next showcase this October, we invite you to be part of the legacy.

“A Pink Moment For Chicago” is the concluding runway show of @chicagofashionshowcase taking place on October 15th at Union Station, 225 S. Canal St. 

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month we’ve curated a show featuring a variety of designers. 

We’d like to welcome @dana.asady to our runway and express gratitude for participating in this charity show in honor of those affected by breast cancer and to raise funds while bringing awareness to breast cancer research @lynnsagebreastcancer 

About the designer:

Founded by Dana Asady, aŚady represents the elegant intersection of intellect, artistry, and heritage. With a background in science and engineering, Dana built a career defined by precision, innovation, and leadership before turning that same analytical mastery toward her lifelong passion — fashion design. Her journey from data to draping gave birth to a couture philosophy where structure meets soul, and every gown is a study in harmony between craftsmanship and emotion.

Before launching her bridal line, Dana’s ready-to-wear collections under the aŠady label captivated editors and stylists across international fashion weeks and earned features in imprint press releases, editorial shoots, and celebrity wardrobes. Her designs have graced red carpets, been pulled for major film premieres, and celebrated by women who embody quiet confidence and refined power.

Mabrook marks Dana’s return to her roots — an ode to her Iraqi heritage and her belief that true luxury lies in meaning. Every gown is designed for the woman who is ready to be seen, not for her status, but for her story

We are thrilled to welcome back @alesiachaika to Chicago Fashion Showcase on October 15th at Union Station.

Where fine art meets haute couture, Alesia Chaika brings her extraordinary vision of timeless elegance to the runway of @chicagofashionshowcase. An international artist, couturier, fashion designer, and specialist in luxury hospitality, brand
environment, and textile design, Alesia creates her exclusive collections at Alesia C. Fashion House in Lake Forest, Illinois, where artistry, exceptional craftsmanship, and uncompromising quality define every creation.

At the heart of her design philosophy is Art-A-PortéTM 

When Paintings Come to Life, a signature concept that transforms her original hand-painted artworks into wearable masterpieces. Her collections encompass exquisite bridal gowns, sophisticated evening wear, luxurious mulberry silk
scarves, artistic caftans, signature SWANTM cashmere cape-coats, elegant headwear, and distinctive leather accessories.

The Alesia C. label represents timeless sophistication, individuality, and impeccable quality, creating fashion that transcends seasons and celebrates the art of being a woman.

Her distinguished corporate collaborations include American Airlines, for which she created the Be Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Collection. Alesia C. Fashion House was also selected to develop an exclusive executive gifting collection celebrating American Airlines’ 100th Anniversary, featuring
custom centennial silk scarves, an innovative signature scarf ring jewelry, and specially designed luxury presentation boxes.

For Alesia Chaika, fashion is more than clothing, it is art, identity, and a legacy of beauty. 

Her philosophy is beautifully expressed in the signature words of her fashion house: 

“Elegance is the Key to All Doors.”

“WEAR it or FRAME itTM.”
