Not all scary stories show as monsters. Some arrive as secrets. Cross the threshold of Venetian Veil, a surreal experience haunted by murmurs of an elite society moving unseen, gathering once a year behind masks and beneath velvet drapes. Legend holds that artists, queens, and kings surrendered to its rites, and that the most surreal nights in history were born there.

Designer Lineup

Olivia Bolanos

Olivia Bolanos, local and emerging fashion designer, presents her debut collection “Shattered Fables”; it retells the stories we grow up with: fairytales where heroes win, tales of resistance with happy endings, and the harder truths where history and social rules where good does not prevail. Each look represents a story and the designer’s deconstruction of it. The collection balances romance, mystery, drama, darkness, and hope between fantasy and real life.

Vintage Frills

Vintage Frills, a Chicago vintage curator, presents an archive-led collection; each look is sourced, cleaned, repaired, and prepared for the runway. Drawn entirely from its curated archive and styled by Yue Designs, the presentation shows a refined way to wear quality fashion while avoiding the impact of new production.

Luis Levonche

Fashion designer and creative director for mmproductions, Luis will be presenting the finale collection, Perle Urbane. A study on how pearls form and are cultured, drawing parallels to the human aging process: beginning in dark places, hardening through experience, and emerging bright and strong.
