Chicago in June. The heat of the Summer. Onward by train into the striking city by the great Lake Michigan, once again. In a now vibrant world of green surrounds, the train sped along under the sunshine towards the towering buildings of Chicago. City inspirations. In a world that is constantly changing, one thing that remains consistent is the appeal of this great city. So too, does my intent to photograph and capture inspirations from within this city. A monthly jaunt to capture fashionable inspirations behind the glass panes of fashion’s windows endures. Behind the lens. Inspiration, onward….
Yet to be in Chicago during the season of Summer is to visually pause and appreciate the beauty of the Chicago River that meanders through this great Midwestern city. Boats and river cruises. Summer perfection in a stellar Summertime city, indeed.
Of course, one should not journey through the city streets without visually appreciating the architecture that still graces this changing city. Timeless and iconic, the buildings from history past is what keep this city tied to its past. Appreciation upward, for certain.
Look up for inspiration. Of course, looking down can also bring forth inspiration. Life is unexpected. Be amused. Be inspired. And move onward, in appreciation...
And of the fashionable windows of Chicago in June? A visual delight, indeed…from behind the lens…
It is always with anticipation that I walk towards the windows of Chanel. Always a destination. For when the scenery changes and a new visual is set before me, my lens aims and my shutter clicks. Fashionable inspiration of Chanel style. This particular scene is perhaps one of my favorites. Neon lights. Cafe Bar. Chanel black and white. Pearls. Lace. Chanel. Style onward, once again, with visual appeal…
Summer heat was a contrast to the windows of Burberry. Of course, Fashion is always onto the next season. Yet from under protection of my panama hat from the suns glare, I could certainly appreciate fashion’s next turn. Embracing the warmth from the city streets and the warmth from behind fashion’s windows. Onward…
Consider with appreciation the fashionable windows that surround you. No matter the city, the artistry of display of fashion’s whims or timeless, classic display is an art form to be acknowledged. For me, the fashionable windows of Chicago will always remain a destination while I reside near this great city. From behind the lens, with appreciation, I will continue to aim to visually express the art form of visual merchandising. With a love of fashion, indeed…
Onward,
Kristin
