Imagine my surprise and delight to see today, in the nytimes.com style section, that Chicago is, in fact, a fashionable city. The article, "IN CHICAGO, WHERE A NEWFOUND VITALITY IS FUELING A BOOMLET IN STYLE AND DESIGN, THE FUTURE IS NOW. BY GIOIA DILIBERTO" explains that Michelle Obama gave us the reputation of "stylish yet sensible girl-next-door". I'll take that. The images that accompany the article, by Raymond Meier, are of an angular blonde woman in geometric, architecture-inspired ensembles, posing on, against, and adjacent to Chicago icons like the el, Lake Michigan, and the Franklin-Orleans Bridge. I think this is an invitation to be inspired by our architecture and to get out and experience the gorgeous urbanscape.
