  • "Chicago Collective has all the new styles coming out. I’ll be here every season until I retire. I want to see everything that is coming out before I give it to my customer and be able to see how the market is going to fluncuate so I can provide the best service for my customers."

    @SOLTANDSTON

  • "It’s perhaps the largest and most important men’s retail trade show in the country. We caught up with vendors, previewed new fabrics, talked tariffs and got inspired by other attendees. We’ve been to 20 of these over the last 10 years and it feels nice to roam the booths and talk shop with our friends, suppliers and competitors."

    @BLVDIER

  • "So proud of our team and our ever-patient partners who make this show light years ahead of all the rest. Thank you all for an incredible season feeling those Italian summer vibes!!! You guys are the very BEST!"
