Our September iSSue might mark the end of summer, but I'm not complaining. After months of beach-going and rooftop lounging in the standard uniform of a T-shirt and shorts, fall means I can reinvigorate my wardrobe. Whether it's a rugged military sweater from Porsche Design or a wool blazer from Boga, there have never been better options to outfit my autumn. I'm confident you'll find similar inspiration in the following pages of our Fall Fashion Issue. If anyone in Chicago knows style, it's Mario Tricoci. For the seventh year, the beauty guru's eponymous salon is selecting, styling, and training a group of amateur models through its Mario, Make Me a Model competition. The process will culminate in an exciting finalist fashion show at Redmoon on September 25, where a winner will be crowned. It's a perenni- ally close contest, so I encourage you to follow along at tricoci.com/m4 for the latest news. Fall also signals the return of Chicago's premier art event, Expo Chicago, from September 17–20. Though only in its fourth year, the fair has quickly established itself as a venerable showcase under the stewardship of President and Director Tony Karman. Think of it as the Art Basel of the Midwest: More than 100 galleries from all over the world trumpet their best pieces at Navy Pier, along with panel discussions, special exhibitions, and more. For tickets and more information, visit expochicago.com. I'm proud to note that this issue marks our seventh anniversary. With each successive edition, we strive to produce compelling content and bring it to life with unforgettable events. Michigan Avenue has weathered a tumultuous media landscape with brilliant results thanks to the steadfast commitment of my teammates. Publishing trends may come and go, but our mission of celebrating, connecting, and captivating with conscious- ness will never go out of style.
