Featured at Chicago’s disappointing fashion week Style Bias show was an array of designers. From Fashion Geek, to the Leaders, to designer Albert Ray they all had interesting pieces, and not the good kind of interesting either. Most of the designs were screenprint t-shirts but we’re not going to get into that. The most interesting designers, and remember interesting does not necessarily mean good, were from the Art Institute. Through all the ripped jeans, camo and graphic t’s these designer really stuck out like a sore thumb. Though they weren't cohesive with the rest of the show I’m sure the audience didn't mind a break from the DIY like designs, I know I didn’t. During the Art Institute collection, which included multiple unknown designers, a male model made his way down the runway in what reminded me of something Kanye West or Chris Brown would wear. Cut off black jeans were paired with a 3/4 sleeve black tee layered with a cut off sleeve hoodie with rope drawstring detailing and a pair of dirty gray high top adidas, but that’s not what intrigued me. The model had on a black medusa like headpiece that covered the the entire face, even the eyes. I’m not sure what exactly was made designer but the headpiece definitely stood out from the rest of the Art Institute collection. I don't think I’d seen anything like it before. It was a little scary and obviously not wearable but I give the designer cool points for standing out. It gave the basic outfit a little extra push which was very much needed not only in the outfit but the entire show.
Due to the fact that the show was poorly organized and didn’t include a program I do not know which Art Institute designer made this piece.
