Receiving an invitation to an upcoming event via snail mail is a good indicator that you’re in for a fabulous time.

To celebrate the the highly anticipated The 606 Project (formerly Bloomingdale Trail), Caroline and Keating Crown, Bethany McLean and Sean Berkowitz hosted a private reception at the newly remodeled Salvatore Ferragamo store last Wednesday(9/10).
The event, which had Ferragamo USA CEO and Regional Director Vincent Ottomanelli in attendance, drew an eclectic amount of Chicago’s finest and chicest. Both floors of the store were abuzz which could have been due to the Moët champagne being passed around along with appetizers or guests admiring and shopping the luxe goods on hand, including the Fiamma bag, where a percentage of sales that evening through Sunday benefitted The 606 Project.
