This Week’s Top Story

Armarium (armarium.com), an online platform that rents out fresh-off-the-runway fashion, makes its Chicago debut at a three-day pop-up set to open on April 25. Held at Waldorf Astoria Chicago (11 E. Walton St.) the event is open to the public and features a fashion collection curated by stylist Michaela Erlanger, whose star-studded client roster includes Lupita Nyong’o.

The pop-up will display looks from labels like Emilio Pucci, Missoni, and Jason Wu, and Armarium’s team of stylists—known as is “Style Brigade”—will be on hand to help locals select looks for upcoming events. (So theoretically, you could be the belle of the May 4 Butterfly Ball, or the May 12 Steppenwolf Gala.) Appointments are recommended; make yours by emailing stylist@armarium.com.
