Brunello Cucinelli Celebrates A Fashionable Evening at Chicago Boutique

pronounced: Boh-la-jee, like the Bellagio but w/o the O. SLC…

Thank goodness for Brunello Cucinelli. Since the pandemic, and post lockdown, there’s been a very small number of invite-only type events (whose invitations have landed in my inbox and I was able to attend) to rave about in the city, so imagine the delight when the invitation to attend the one year celebration of Brunello Cucinelli’s Rush Street boutique came along. On an unseasonably warm evening of Wednesday October 12, we made our way to 937 North Rush Street.

The urge to get out and mingle like the pre-covid days might not have been an isolated one to me either, seeing the amount of people that showed up for the reception or maybe it was the lure to see what’s new and available for the cold season ahead. Though it seems we’ve all been missing the scene and these fun events that we enjoyed so much pre-COVID. Both floors of the two story boutique, in the high traffic tony Oak Street shopping corridor, was filled with fashionable guests chatting away while sipping their drink of choice like some Vueve Clicquot champagne, or Don Julio 1942® as cellist and DJ duo Andrew Savoia and Carter Ward entertained.
