Kimball Office partnered with the Harrington Alumni Association for this year’s STITCH event.  IIDA-Illinois STITCH event pairs Chicago’s most talented Designers with industry manufacturers to create one-of-a-kind garments. This year’s theme was “A STITCH in Time: Design for a Decade.”

The Kimball Office and Harrington Alumni Association team created a stunning gown from fabric by Kimball Office’s Alliance Partner, Maharam.  The design concept was Victorian Illusion. Team members were inspired by illusion, transformation, and 1880′s Victorian style.  The model, Enza Scianna, Kimball Office Chicago Showroom Manager, was outfitted in a transforming version of a Victorian bird.  Upon first glance, Enza was hidden within a top hat, for a nod to Victorian era magicians.  Then, she unveiled herself as a Victorian bird, complete with feathers in her hair, on her eyelashes, and feather-like pieces of fabric on the skirt of her dress.
