On May 2^nd, 2014, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) held its’ annual fashion event, “The Walk 2014”. This event was held in downtown Chicago, at the beautiful and lush Millenium Park. There was an enormous tent set up, that housed the runway show and reception. As the crowd gathered, cocktail refreshments were provided along with Hors d'oeuvres. This event was the culmination of one year worth of work by the fashion students of SAIC, in order to raise money for the student scholarships.
