Give’em What They Never Knew They Wanted” Diana Vreeland
When: Saturday April 26th at 8:00p
Where: Heaven Gallery, 1550 N. Milwaukee Ave. 2nd floor $15
What: ” “Give’em What They Never Knew They Wanted” tells the inspiring story of Diana Vreeland. Beyond the lacquered exterior and perfectly manicured talons lies the power to channel personal style and own it. The collection reflects Diana’s love for Chanel, Balenciaga and Halston in luxury sportswear and exaggerated silhouettes. Presenting articulate clothes with alluring personality, Renovar captures Diana’s sense of adventure with wildly chic animal prints, theatrical snuggies and a over-the-top kaftan jumpsuit that thrill to pure madness.”
