Made on the West Side

Made on the Westside is a youth-centered fashion, art, and entrepreneurship experience celebrating the creativity of Chicago’s next generation.

Taking place during Chicago Fashion Week, the event will transform Duo Starling into a marketplace and gathering space where Nash Elementary students can showcase their creativity, explore the business of fashion, and see their ideas celebrated beyond the classroom.

Guests will experience a Youth Fashion Market, Youth Artist Panel, and mocktails provided by Monday Coffee, bringing students, families, educators, creatives, and community partners together for an evening rooted in art, fashion, entrepreneurship, and West Side creativity.

This experience is made possible through the collaboration of Nash Elementary, Maison Mogul Consulting Foundation, Duo Starling, Monday Coffee, Starling, Genius Lab, Little Black Pearl, Ike McClure, and our participating creative and community partners.
