Co., and Cate McNabb Cosmetics. Behind the story: "We shot in Tony [Karman]'s ["The Showman," page 73] beautiful Chicago home, which brought what Tony is all about to the images. Those kinds of location shoots add a personal touch." What he's excited about this fall: "Fashion Week in New York, of course." Chicago go-to: "If you know me well, you know I love tacos. Big Star is a must after many shoots." CLAY BOUTTÉ photographer Credentials: Kate Rockwood has written for O, The Oprah Magazine; Fast Company; Real Simple; and more. Behind the story: "It requires an imaginative leap to talk during the peak of summer about why fall is blissful in Chicago ["Fall, Glorious Fall," page 130]. But everyone I spoke with was so effusive so quickly about the glory of autumn here." What she's excited about this fall: "My wife and I love taking our kids to Fellger Park at Belmont Avenue and Damen Avenue. It's breezy and uncrowded on fall afternoons, and you can get a scoop of goat cheese-caramel-cashew gelato across the street at Black Dog Gelato." Chicago go-to: "I'll happily drop everything to brunch at m. henry." Credentials: Adrienne Gaffney has worked as an assistant at Vanity Fair and as an editor at WSJ Magazine, and she has contributed to Billboard, Marie Claire, New York Magazine, and Nylon. Behind the story: "The best part of being a writer ["Rags to Riches," page 41] is learning more about the things around me, from the theory behind my favorite Rag & Bone dress to the retail renaissance in the Gold Coast." What she's excited about this fall: "TV season! I keep a calendar of new series premieres and returning favorites." k ATe rOCkwOOd writer Adrienne gAffneY writer 'CORINNE' GLASSES • CONTACTS • EYE EXAMS • SUNGLASSES 24 CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOOD LOCATIONS FOR BRANDS, LOCATIONS, AND EVENTS: spexoptical.com Discover your Spex appeal
