CWILLI presents “Academy”, the Fall ’26 runway collection that will be held inside a historic event hall. The show features 15 black-and-white looks marking a new chapter for the label, evolving CWILLI from avant-garde one-offs into a more defined ready-to-wear vision while maintaining its rebellious DIY spirit. Following the runway presentation, guests will have exclusive first access to a designer sample sale, offering the opportunity to purchase pieces immediately after they walk the show. A portion of event proceeds will benefit Howard Brown Health, supporting inclusive healthcare and resources for LGBTQIA+ and underserved communities across Chicago. Seating is open and available on a first come, first served basis.
