Credentials: Seth Putnam is the editor of The Collective Quarterly, a print magazine based on travel and creativity. As a reporter-at-large, he's written for Chicago magazine, Chicago Sun-Times, The Kansas City Star, Details online, and more. Behind the story: "In my background research on sources for the Halston piece ["Chicago's Fashion Titan," page 14], I discovered that Hazel Barr was once described by Chicago media in the 1980s as the 'Duchess of DuPage.' It surprised her when I called and asked to speak to 'the Duchess'—she hadn't heard the title in a long time—so she filled me in on the backstory: Some years ago, a member of European royalty visited and applied a more traditional French pronunciation to the county. Barr loved it and decided to style herself as the Duchess of Du Pagé—and thus a now-forgotten nickname was born." What he's excited about this fall: "Fall in Chicago means it's time for whiskey cocktails at Scoff law, comfort food at Pleasant House Bakery, and a weekend escape to go pick apples in Michigan."
