To Whom It May Concern, FashionBar LLC is excited to announce, with the support of World Business Chicago, that it will host the Spring 2018 Annual Chicago’s Fashion Week (CFW) between April 23-30th 2018. Benefiting the American Cancer Society, CFW anticipates approximately 1,400 guests in attendance with over 40 vendors showcasing fashion, health, and wellness. In result, FashionBar would like to invite you to participate in the event, as well as provide corporate sponsorship.
Chicago’s Fashion Week is an independent partnership with Chicago-established businesses within the apparel, health, and manufacturing industries. Chicago is the bridge that links Los Angeles to New York City as we elevate the Chicago fashion industry to a national and global platform. Chicago’s Fashion Week will be held twice a year during the months of March/April and September/October.
Chicago’s Fashion Week is an opportunity to capitalize on fashion, beauty and wellness through showcasing designer fashion shows, workshops, and seminars to increase education and consumer spending. The exhilarating experience for consumers and fashion lovers will serve as a catalyst to economically enhance businesses, demonstrated by the New York market where Fashion Week alone generated $887 million in 2014. With 45-60% of consumer demand going unmet in a market with a buying power of $6 billion, FashionBar has outlined the opportunities for growth and the demand for consumers to fully meet their buying capacity. In result, Chicago’s Fashion Week has a goal of generating $50,000,000 in revenue and bolstering job growth by 25,000 jobs.
As a sponsor, you will be part of a gathering of the fashion elite in one of the largest metropolitan markets in the United States. Furthermore, you gain access to the establishing of Chicago as an international center for fashion. Additionally, becoming a sponsor enables brand alignment with non-profit organizations such as American Cancer Society (Relay for Life). Please review the attached CFW Sponsorship PDF document for participation and additional documents to support Chicago’s Fashion Week.
FashionBar LLC has executed nearly 50 fashion shows, exhibits and educational seminars/workshops to economically assist the growth of businesses within the Chicago metro market, thus gaining national and global exposure and growing total sales. Chicago’s Fashion Week can increase tourism in Chicago as it has done with other cities globally such as New York City, Paris, London and Milan. Additionally, fashion relevance in Chicago can create entrepreneurship opportunities that will provide job creation and economic growth to address the lack of a socio-economic infrastructure. Lastly, Chicago’s Fashion Week will increase educational awareness and bolster job growth in the city.
Thank you for your generous consideration for this event. If you could kindly provide your sponsorship by March 15th , 2018 and mail your check to FashionBar LLC at 1410 W Sunnyside Avenue Suite 2N, Chicago, Illinois, 60640, we will be able to process your contribution.
