No war here, just one-of-a-kind custom jackets made by some of the hottest designers and artists out there in the Chicago scene (featuring personal fave Cody Hudson). Clothing manufacturer Spiewak is hosting this event to raise awareness and money for the Chicago Women's Health Center. Aside from checking out jackets, music will be provided courtesy of Prefuse 73 so you know this'll be hot. What more could you want in such chilly climes? This Wednesday, 8pm onwards at The Syndicate, a new gallery space in Wicker Park. Be sure to RSVP for the full skinny.
