Chicago Fashionistas Offer Advice and Insight into Chicago/New York Fashion World

CHICAGO –March 24, 2009 – Before logging hours and countless search terms into the Google search engine on fashion, visit www.nobodydanceshere.com to listen in on the radio interview featuring local fashionistas Jenny Fine and Kari Skaflen.

Jenny Fine is a local aspiring designer who is self taught. Not just limited to fashion design, Ms. Fine also does sculpting, jewelry design, and choreography. Ms. Fine has created costume designs for the Latin Dance studio here in Chicago and is currently working on a series of two-dimensional designs she will be shopping around shortly.

“The fashions I create are very much in the style of Imitation of Christ, a design house that came up in the nineties that reworked vintage, thrift store clothing and put it on the runways…,” Ms. Fine states.

Kari Skaflen is editor and founder of Above the Fray Magazine and also runs a blog in connection to the magazine. Ms. Skaflen comes from a very diverse background, having a BA in French, an MA in European Studies, and has also lived in France.

According to Ms. Skaflen, “I am constantly inspired by the creativity fashion embodies. I see it as a social mirror that reflects a collective mood and says far more than most imagine.”

Jenny Fine and Kari Skaflen, both making Chicago as their home base, embrace both their diverse backgrounds while also incorporating the Chicago essence into their work in fashion.
